Frustratedearthmother's Journaling Journey

and the word foofiest broke my brain in a good way.

Floofy just seems to fit, lol. Theyre a little goofy and fluffy and it just works!

They are great broodies and parents. Even the males help with chicks. Most hens will let any chick under her.

Crazy busy day again. Not that I accomplished anything that was on my list except for picking up grain and groceries. Lost a credit card too. I dropped it in my truck and it went between the seat and the console. After I got home I tore that truck apart looking for that card and it's gone. My best guess is that it slid under the console when I was fumbling around for it. Had to call the card company and cancel the thing.

Two more does kidded today. One had a HUGE single buckling and the other one had boy/girl kids. I think I'm at 4 boys and 4 girls now. Should have two more does to go out of this group and then get a little break after that.

Been a busy few days! Going to continue to be busy for a while longer...like month after month, lol. I've got 8 goat babies right now and two gals still need to deliver out of this group. Another group will start delivering in March and then a few more not due until May-ish.

Got some mama's dewormed yesterday and got the babies tagged. Still need to disbud the babies. That'll probably happen within the next few days. Ugh - hate it!

Need to start getting serious about getting a spring garden going. I need to dig through my seed stores and get an idea of what I've got and what I might need.

So much to do - so little time!

I struggle with this every week. Keep telling my wife I am ready to be a kept man.

No idea how we did it then!

Four new babies this morning - four new doelings! The big guy is really producing girls.

So far:
Hank , the Myotonic buck has sired 2 bucklings and 3 doelings.
The Boer buck has sired 2 bucklings and 5 doelings.

That's it for this group. I need a break!

you probably know this but that is a mythical state of bean. it's even more work. when i early retired the only times i actually had time off for doing a lot of things was when i lived 12hrs or more from here. as soon as i got back in this area i started doing a lot of gardening and lawn work here and other projects. then like a dummy i moved in...

I have been working regular jobs since I was 11 with a set of lawn mowing clients and helping my retired grandpa with snow plowing, shrub trimming, spring lawn prepping, and fall leaf pickup. I am ready to take on the home challenges and leaving the office behind
