Wow, I am glad you didn't go over there too. I was thinking that some of those places "use" the kids to make money...just never really wanted to think people would be that way. I should have known better. :/ " the almighty dollar does the devils deed"
We really are trying to get it all going...
Hey! Good to hear from ya! Those grand babies are just ADORABLE!!!!!!!! We have a new one as well.... Adylin...she is 3 weeks old...and just a DOLL!!! LOVE the lion head rabbits. CUTIES! I just got my first pair of "meat rabbits" HAHA! We will see, they sure are cute. :P
Just came in from checking on Suzie....still no babies! Oh she is wearing me out! She KNOWS how anxious I am to see what they will look like, and yet, she keeps them from me. BAD GOAT! :P We have storms coming in the next few days....I bet that's what she is waiting on. I sure don't want to be...
Oh Bee....I do know what you are saying..."lot's has happened, nothing has happened." Seems like the same thing here...I am always super busy, nothing getting "done" We make plans....and HIS plans are different...not that it is a bad thing...just different.I just smile, and keep on, keeping on...
So, the cats are always bringing me "presents" Gotta love a cat bringing gifts. LOL
This is the latest. At least I was able to save this one..and release it back to the woods.
Here is the picture I took of Suzie this afternoon.....trying to rest. Poor gal...I hope she goes soon!
Deb, that...
OK, so yesterday while I was gone from the farm all day, I worried about my Suzie. My Alpine. She is bagged up, ligs gone..and moody. I just knew she would drop those kids while I was gone. Well, she didn't. :cool: Then, today...I must have made 10 trips out to the barn, checking on her...
Bee :hugs I could write a BIG boring book on all the things that has been going on here....but wouldn't want to bore anyone. LOL Just seems like there are not enough hours in the day..... to get the things done I need to!
As soon as the garden dries out a bit, I will get those peppers in, with...
Jenn, Im not sure what "hard pan" is....??? Would a sub soiler be able to break that up?? We have been putting in drainage lines....it seems to be working so far.
SO, I just came in from having a talk with the onion sets...I asked them to go get in the garden...they just looked at me like I...
Deb, we have clay soil here...or, just clay. :/ Not much soil to it. That is why we have to do raised rows....I dont mind really.....the "ditches" in between gives me a place to put the barn cleanings...and makes for better soil every year.
Went out to feed this morning and Suzie is still...
Hey Bee!!! Long time no chat. Sounds like the garden is coming along great!! We finally was able to get some work done in ours as well....just before the rain. 2 - 30 ft rows of green beans, 24 tomato plants...today I picked up 12 pepper plants, 240 onion sets, and 10 pounds of potato seeds. The...
Hey BB. Congrats on the goat. Last year I was "thrown in to" being owned by a goat in milk. I say being owned...because when it comes to a doe....she really does "call the shots" some days. I just wash with very little soapy warm water...and dry her udders well before milking. Don't want to make...
Today was a busy day, just not in the SS way I wanted it to be. Got up this morning to feed animals....and when I got to the barn, I noticed Suzie, my Alpine doe didn't come in the barn.....so I went out to the cabin to get her. She led in easily...then didn't really want her feed. I felt her...
I guess flat land...hilly land.... is like the old argument with curly hair vs straight hair. LOL Flat land is a PAIN to keep from drowning!!! Can you see the raised rows?? That is to keep the plants and seeds from drowning...it is a pain in the behind! However, I guess planting on a hill side...
Thanks Morel....yep, she is the apple of my eye.....
PinkFox, we have been super busy here....one reason I haven't been able to get on here lately.
Today, not a whole lot happened....finally. I have to take my step dad to get surgery on his foot tomorrow....so most of my day will be shot. UGH...
Me and spring have a love/hate relationship. I love to see the earth wake up from her long winter nap....everything in bloom...new life being brought forth...then, planting season starts. My brother was here over the weekend, and wanted to "help" so hubby put him behind the tiller, here he is in...
So sorry about your day. Glad to hear you are ok tho! Sorry about the truck. I hit a dog once...I had nightmares for days! :(
Sounds like you have been busy with the garden, I just got my tomato plants today....48 of them!
I may be a little late to this thread, and I haven't read through all of the reply's however, we do not use labels any more. Too hard to get them and that sticky glue off. I have switched to Permanent Markers. I date right on the glass jars..and it washes of easy in hot soapy water.
So, I have been waiting to get a picture before I posted about this.... April 11th, 2012...... Adylin Paige was brought into this world, as our 8th grand child, ( 7th living) She was 3 weeks early....momma had pre eclampsia (sp?) and Adylin had to be taken by C section. She was then taken to...
