The main problem is... The goat pen is at a private school, an old horse ranch that was converted to a very nice school. The kids get as close to "homeschooling" as a regular school can do. Anyhow, no one lives on the property. None of us are far away, within 5 minutes or less of the place...

The lambs were killed by a Coyote!! It dug under the fence at the goat pen! The Goats are all ok. Though the lambs were the same age as the goat kids, they were lots smaller. The goat pen is now hopefully more secure from digging preditors. On a lighter note, I harversted some Basil this am...

I told him thank you... He is a very special fellow...

Some of you may know, my husband's company is in the process of moving to South Carolina. He decided not to go. And now he will soon be unemployed after over 30 years with the company. He decided to go back to school. And wants to do something different. He thought being a Paralegal might be...

Over the weekend, the owner of the goats and one of the other "milk maids" each bought a lamb! Fun and Fun!

This morning when I arrived at the goat pen, I was surprised to see two young lambs come out from behind the chicken run! The mama goats are not too sure they want these new creatures around! But the kids appear to be warming up to them. They seem content to spend most of the time off...

Here is a website that give information on Pink Rain Lilies.. http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/1243/ I have a pretty good life, at the moment... Not looking forward to my husband being out of work around Dec. of this year. If we try to live on his pension.... it will be cutting our income...

This morning I was so excited to see my first Rain Lily flower! My neighbor gave me some plants a few years ago. They are now spreading to different areas in the front yard.

I use Absolute Vodka, a Sabra, (an Israeli Choc. Orange Liquer) Bottles. The Absolute bottles have a plastic insert in the top that keep the soil from going into the neck of the bottle, and it comes out rather slowly if you have them deep enough in the soil. This year... I am going to attempt...

This morning I took some photos of the tomato, Basil and onion garden I planted. There are three rings in the back garden behind the chicken coop. Two I use for different vegetables, herbs and flowers depending on the season. The third ring has a Goji Berry bush and some dill that is giong to...

Many of us do seem to "cross over" to the other forums. Since I am on dial up, I have a long download time on the new BYC site. I do so love all the people on these forums! They are a great bunch of folks from all over the globe! One of our best friends is here on a work visa from Hamilton...

I live in Tucson, AZ. Our summers are brutal here! Most things need protection from the direct sun in the afternoon. One thing I have found really helps is to use Scott's Miracle Grow Moisture Control Potting Soil. I use it in the garden, not just in pots. I do a modified form of Square Foot...

Yes, from my looking on the web, that is the kind it looks like. I am very pleased with it!

I think I have found a type of lettuce that will grow and not bolt when the temps reach the 90's ane 100's! In the early spring I threw some lettuce seeds I had gathered a couple of years ago. They were hanging in a grocery bag in the storage/laundry room. I wan't sure they were any good, so...

I had trouble getting the soap out of the silicone mold... I had a star shaped cupcake type mold, and the soap stayed kind of soft. I did't try putting it in the freezer back then. Now I do either put them in the freezer or in the refigerator over night and that really helps get them out of the...

Just keep the goats out of the chicken coop!

Today was not my day for minding the goats, I am glad it didn't happen on my watch! Poor Shadow somehow broke into the chicken coop, and decided to have a snack of chicken feed. But, got her head stuck in the feeder!

It is not often I get my husband out to the goat pen! Here he is trying to make Shortnin' feel better. She looks so miserable! A few sporatic contractions this afternoon. Shortnin' "After" Photo. Triplets!
