    Thanks now! So helpful! That's kind of what I'm waiting on. Crow or egg. I put legbands on them to see if I'm right.

    Cackling Ranch - A journal of things and stuff.

    My garden is struggling with this heat.. 2 whole tomatoes, 2 jalapeno, and 4 chilli peppers today. On the bright side all of my "junior" hens are getting ready to start laying. Little faces are turning red, combs and wattles are appearing, and I STILL don't have nesting boxes built. OOPS...

    I ate them first, then washed them down with the tomatoes! I was going to wrap them in bacon and stuff them with chicken and cheese but... They didn't make it. Forgot to post this. The girls spent a majority of their morning trying to pull this poor tree down. They weren't successful, but they...

    It is!!! When I was out watching the goaats I thought, I'll just work on this while it's shady. NOOOO. It was almost 100, if not more than 100, all day today. Never checked but it was HOT HOT HOT. I didn't go out to feed everyone until 7, it was way to hot to feed before that. No one...

    Well I panned on getting the fencing fixed today. Instead, I took the goats for a walk around the property, did laundry, watched the goats eat weeds in the front yard for several hours, took a nap, folded laundry, and went to town. Off days are few and far in between. That nap was amazing!!!

    On another note, the peppers are growing really well and some of them are starting to turn. My herbs and spices, however, are going brown and dying on me. Maybe they don't like their life on the porch. I need to move them into a more shaded spot. The goats had another fecal today. Egg count is...

    My husband thinks I'm losing it. Maybe I am. My horses decided to tear down a section of fence today because they're total butts. The grass is always greener on the other side, I suppose.

    I know I've posted this picture before a few times. But this is the picture that shows Maya as she is, exactly as she is. This is the expression I'll miss the most.

    Here's a few more pictures of Maya over the years. The first one is our very first picture together... 2006-2007 era. Maya has never been my #1 girl. She has never been the first horse that crosses my mind when I want to go riding. She's always been there for me though. My go to girl is an...

    Cackling Ranch - A journal of things and stuff.

    Well I finally had the big cry. You know the can't breath, can't stop cry? Cried to sleep in my husband's arms Thursday night. I feel lot better now. I keep catching myself doing things that I would do for Maya. Leaving alfalfa uncovered so she can munch, closing the front gate when I'm just...

    Cackling Ranch - A journal of things and stuff.

    It will take some getting used to. She's been in my life for many years. I had an ugly cry yesterday and went on a walk. If any of my horses were sound, they're all old and retired, I probably would have gone for a ride to clear my mind. Tonight I let my DH feed, I don't want to walk by her...

    I can not make a full post right now. I need my mind cleared up. Today one of my horses crossed the Rainbow Bridge. She is no longer in pain. She is free.

    Cats on the Homestead

    White cats are gorgeous but they're easy to spot in the barns and around here... that means easy coyote bait.
