    Dooley- Living like a pioneer!

    Ahhhck!!! I went out into the barn this afternoon, and the entire place was in shambles! Turns out, the entire herd of goats had slipped through a gate (I had forgotten to lock it... :he ) and had been on a destruction spree all day! After I stopped laughing, I sent my wonderful angel of a...

    Practiced my guitar this morning! Still can only play one song (my username), but I'm learning new chords all the time and whatever I play no longer sounds like a screeching cat. :celebrate

    What sort of a dog is it? Breed has a lot to do with tendencies to kill small livestock. I know hunting dogs are the worst... You said you had labs? :idunno Well, I'm one to talk, I've never had this problem before. So sorry about your hen! :hugs

    Canning is fun! Once you do a few loads, the fear goes away. I remember my dad was the first to can anything, he did a few loads of green beans. I tried a few and decided I absolutely HATE canned green beans, but wasn't scared of home-canned food. :3 Go nuts! :D

    Really snowin' out there now... Already got 3-4 inches, maybe more. Windy and cold. Just let the poor dog out to do his business, he looked so miserable out there! :( Aah, all the joys of snow have arrived! Skiing, snow forts, snow men, snowball fights... Going out early to get a head...
