Usually only a week or two in the 90s, otherwise in the 80s in summer, rare occasion it'll get over 100.  [Sorry don't know conversion.]

[Ryan]

So about 26 degrees.

Hopefully its headed in that direction !!

I was in a rush, so didn't plug it in to a on-line converter.   We are taking a dip later this week, then hopefully a rise will start; but spring temps first, please; so 60-70s would be just fine.

Its already cooling down quite a lot here. It is 29 here today but for the next week its only going to be 22-23. Ive already noticed winter coats are growing

Praying warmer temperatures are heading your way, Chanda.

And Ryan, hopefully it won't be a cold down there as it's been this US winter!

[Ryan]

Me too Diane , you have had one long winter ( even though you prefer it over the warmer weather Chanda)

Im actually looking forward to it cooling down its been one hot summer here.

OMG!  Took half an hour to figure out how to get the stupid tv out of store demo mode.  Hopefully, that will get rid of all the pop-ups.   Went to town today, and picked up the remote, they forgot to send it out, hadn't even gone to the electronics section and looked for it, as the remote was on the shelf with the other tvs.   They did give us a $5 gift card for our troubles (the gal that checked me out, thought it should have been $10).
Sophia and baby are doing well in the outside paddock.  baby already trying to eat mom's feed.
Gotta pick a name.  Not anything too close to baby, since I already have a Baybe.    Leaning towards Belle, but haven't decided.

[Ryan]

Great you got the remote , I really hope you get some chill out time and can put your feet up and watch something over the weekend

They should have reimbursed you for the petrol/ gas and brought you lunch, seeing you had to go all the way back in there cause of their error.

happy Easter

[Chanda]

We pay-per-viewed the new Jumanji.  It was decent.
[It was partially our fault we ended up with the wrong remote, since the one we picked up did turn the tv on and off.  just glad it's set now.  Although, the volume control doesn't have a big range; so, we might have to get a sound bar (I think that's what it's called), but not anytime soon.

[dcwolcott]

I'm with Ryan.  You deserve a little "down time" with your feet up just chilling!

[Chanda]

OMG! She's a wild child. Good thing she's wearing a blanket or I couldn't catch her, I can grab the blanket to slow her down.  And, she does not like to be held still.

[Holly]

Lol!! I can see the grab her as she flies by!!

[Silver City Heritage Farm]

I agree Holly, that does paint an image, doesn't it?

Chanda, are you still dressed in Carhartt overalls or has it warmed up enough to drop a layer?  How do you balance her needing a blanket against keeping it clean? Has it started staying close to or over freezing at night yet?

I hope you're making it through calving season with not too much fuss.  What I mean is, just every day work that leaves you feeling tired and fulfilled, without anything making you want to scream and forehead slap in frustration.

[Chanda]

Mostly been wearing my fleece lined jeans, but did need coveralls the other day.
When it's been so cold, she's just been wearing her blanket, dirty or not.  I ordered her another blanket, two days ago, I should have done it sooner, but I thought spring was going to come.
So far, mostly due to wear, there is some forehead slapping moments.
