Not much to report on this front except the extreme heat. I just feel blessed that we aren't as hot as some of the other midwesterns. Mom called me last week because they lost 3 bunnies in one day to the heat. She was already using ice bottles and had them in shade. I told her she could try...
I don't think rhubarb is still making. Let me check my freezer. I froze some last year and could have Darrell bring it to you if you'd like. I had the good intention of making Strawberry/rhubarb jam, but never did.
Good to see QA and Becca on Friday along with E. I came home with a goat at a really good price because the owner knew she would be something I'm looking for. She is a 1/2 sister to my buck. I think that puts our goat count up to 14 with 5 of them being babies. Not much else going on around here...
Vet came out Monday and confirmed the break in a place not able to be splinted.(duh! wouldn't call you if I could splint it) He said to pen her up in a small (read that SMALL) pen where she can't hardly move except for to pee. He said to leave her in there for 4-6wks and we'll have to see where...
Had to call the vet for a baby goat. Kind of makes me sick to my stomach. It's my favorite doeling from this year! I'm sure she broke her leg, but don't know if it's at a point where it's fixable or not. Vet seems to think over the phone that it is a mendable one. He recommends a small pen that...
Wish I couldn't say " I hate when that happens", but I've had it happen to me to. My farmer made good on mine too and I actually wound up with 2 calves. Really hope the next one is a bull calf for you.
Haven't been doing much around the farm lately, but with the holiday it was kind of hard. Dad cam into town and was supposed to be taking sis2 back to Kansas. Well his transmission decided to go out for the 3rd time in 5yrs. Mom had to come up and get him. I haven't seen Mom in almost 3yrs. She...
I don't think children are for everyone, but I knew from a little girl I was going to be a mommy. I wasn' t always sure about the whole being married thing, but was absolute about the mom thing. I can forget parts of my wedding day and my feelings from it, but I never forget the way I felt when...
We did make it up there. It really is a smaller event, but a completely different market than we normally do. Saw some vendors that we know really well, but didn't see a lot of spinners from our area. We only stayed for about an hr or so. We decided on giving it a try. The only vendor who...
Starting to crochet again. Couple of friends due or just recently have had babies and I've got to get gifts together. Not to mention starting on fall merchandise. Really it's the middle of summer and I'm thinking about fall :barnie
I have some Bluefaced Leicester spun up for a couple of girls...
Sorry you're having such a bad morning with the boys. My little one at only 3 can sometimes make me wonder what I was thinking. I hope it gets better through the day.
Must be the same one. It's considered a weed in most places. I remember the horse place behind us as a kid using it as part of a live fence. Or maybe it just up their fence. ;)
I told DH to plant it along our ditch that way it is less likely to get out of hand and more likely to stay out of the way.
