She kidded at 2:45 Tuesday!!! I went out to check on her and the baby had just hit the ground and was tangled in the fencing in the kidding pen. A few tense moments cause her front legs were both stuck pretty good but I got her out and she just had the one! Everyone...please meet Swingin Tree...

thanks! they are so stinking cute! I went out there and that little white one outside the box with Sweet Pea is the one that I rescued on the cold day...she/he is just a little spitfire. Will not stay in the nesting box! They are still pretty little but growing well and starting to squeak!

Okay...so here she is today at day 149....for such a little goat her udder is HUGE! And some of the baby bunnies Ginger's babies Sweet Pea's babies Snowball's older bunnies...6 1/2 weeks old Mallard babies Strawberries...we'll be picking some this week!

We have lots of clay and rocks so we did 10 raised beds and we have been working for the last 2 years to get spaces for tilled gardens too. We have them both tilled up now and ready to plant corn in one and my tomatoes, peppers, and bush beans are going in the other. I like the raised beds for...

Thanks honey! Well, I checked Bethoron this morning and I can still feel her ligaments but she is looking like to me that she may be having some early contractions. She doesn't have any discharge yet but is standing still and raising her head up in the air and softly meh-eh-eh-eh-ing. She is...

Holy Moly they are big babies!!! :D

quick update...all the baby bunnies are doing great and have their eyes open. Bethoron the goat is due any day now so we are on baby watch...day 148 today. Made the hive split yesterday...no pics cause hubby was at a side job so I did it all by myself. Everything looks okay so far but we'll see...

We just bartered grass mowing for the summer in exchange for the construction guy building us a chicken coop and tree house for the kids. It is at $3.97 right now but I'm betting that it will hit $4 by Sunday.

We had a conversation about this this morning. My 7 yr old son came to me and said, "mommy, there's this boy on tv that eats one bit of his food and then throws it in the trash. Why would he do that? He's wasting it." My response was "I know honey, that is wasteful. That's why we have a...

I agree, depending on age either send them home for a bit and tell their parents that you don't mind them coming over but call first so you know they will be there and if you have something going on then you can tell them to come in x amount of time. If they are older then yep, put them to work...

Oh lord....bunnies today. Well, where to start....the temps dropped about 30 degrees last night and I went to show a friend the babies (bigger ones) and noticed that Sweet Pea had a brand new baby on the floor of the hutch with it's head stuck through the wire. So, it was barely moving. I had to...

That is so funny! I laughed and told my neighbor that I wish the dang thing had stung me right in between my eyes so that it would fill in the wrinkle my children have created when it swelled up. :lol: Well, yesterday turned out to be quite a productive day. Morning chores french toast for...

Well, I peeked....looks like Sweet Pea had 6 and Ginger had either 6 or 7 but hers were much deeper down in the hay and fur so there could be another one hiding down there. I put bigger feeders in there for them and gave them more food. I also pulled some greens and gave them both some turnip to...

Well, I'm now the proud grandma of two more litters of kits! Sweet pea and Ginger both kindled last night. I went out to massive mounds of fur in both nesting boxes this morning so I pulled the hair off the top and voila! babies!!!! Then hubby called me this morning and said he has a buyer for...

So we had some excitement last night! Our neighbor's hive swarmed! They have so many bees in the remaining hive that they are actually afraid the "mother hive" may swarm again later this year...craziness. They flew into a low tree nearby and we were able to get them into a hive body with some...

Lots going on...went to the pool with some friends yesterday and when we got home we crashed on the couch to watch the Chipmunk sequel that just came out on dvd...we hear the back door slam and our neighbor's little girl yells "Loooooorrrrriiiiiii....mama said to tell you that our hive swarmed...

cute! I'm about to post pics of my first litter...we had 8 total but 3 died at about day 10 or so. They are really pretty...I have two girls due to kindle any day now too. Fun isn't it? :D

So, I got an email from Doug yesterday and he got bit with the flu bug this past week so it looks like we are gonna shoot for Wednesday. I'll see if I can snap some pics while we make the split cause I know that will be helpful. He said he made 63 splits from his hives last weekend!!! I also...

Okay...updates. Went to the MRI and it turns out that I do NOT have osteoarthritis according to the good doctor (other office doc is a quack and totally useless but the good doc was on vacation when I got the initial diagnosis). The bad news is that I have a protruding disc between the L4 and L5...

oh my god....that is hysterical!!!! :lol:
