Wonderful projects! :) Tortoise I'd love to see the quilts, please? If you don't mind. I had a crocheted blanket from my great grand mother in S.A. So pretty! But it was too big and heavy to bring with me to Ireland :( There is a limit to what you can cram into 3 suitcases!
That's a crying shame that you couldn't take it with you. But you got the most important things out-you and your son.

Yes! That was the most important. It was crazy how quickly the luggage weight added up once I started packing. A lot of stuff sadly had to stay behind :( But for a fresh start in a wonderful, safe country it was a small price to pay?

We got pregnancy test result back on sheep. 3 are not preggo. They're all 2018 ewe lambs, so whatever, I guess. Never had ewes or ewe lambs not get pregnant before. :confused: oh well. One of the little bottle lambs I bought last summer is pregnant. She will get special feeding. They've always been fine, but they're so small I still worry. She was also bred later than the others. Controlled breeding, the escaping ram didn't get into the lamb pasture. She should be okay. :fl

I'm planning "hot cocoa" to take to a birthday/game night party tomorrow. :) Need to go shopping in the morning. I would have gone tonight, but we got 4" of snow or so this afternoon and I doubt the roads are plowed yet. Not in a mood to drive 40 miles on snow covered roads. Planning to make both the pink and the blue versions: https://www.foodbeast.com/news/unicorn-hot-chocolate/

My goats are apparently deceased? We haven't seen them since we got back from Colorado. They certainly could get out. One of them jumped the fence regularly. But I can't imagine them going far or not coming back. o_O:(

What do you mean, are they gone missing?!?

Well that's not good! Poor dears, do you have cougars and wolves there?

We have coyotes and rarely get a lone wolf passing through - usually in fall when a young male leaves the pack (or so we assume). There was a cougar in the area once in the last, IDK, decade. :shudder: That would be exceedingly rare.
