Mama pig is feeding her babies so well that they're barely eating feed at all. Without figuring out that I'm the bringer of the goodies they still think I'm the enemy. I need to get 'em to love me so I can catch 'em to sell or gonna have to figure out a way to shuffle 'em into a corner and block it off from mama when the time comes. Have a couple more weeks to figure that out.
Last baby goat of the season was born a couple days ago. Buckling of course. He's a mixed-up mess of breeds, but I wonder how that would work out as a buck prospect. He's 1/4 Nubian, 1/4 Kiko from his mama's side and 1/4 Boer and 1/4 Myotonic from his daddy's side. I've been losing the Nubian influence in the herd and would like to keep a little bit of that going on. Might watch him for a while. He's big, sturdy and correct so he bears watching. Only downside is that I'll need to disbud him. I despise that chore.
We got rain! Great for the garden, right? However, I didn't realize it was going to get so cool, or I might have held off on planting yesterday. Our temp went down to 52 overnight. Yikes! We've been well into the 80s for a while now - hope the soul was able to hold on to some of that warmth overnight. Supposed to get cool again tonight. Boo!

Busy times around here. What else is new. Had plans to do garden work all day yesterday when I got a call from DS. It was car show day! I never miss car show day so I re-arranged my expectations for the day. I headed out a few minutes earlier than planned. DH's car, which has been driven very little in the last couple of years, needed a new battery. It sat too long and wouldn't hold a charge. I got it started with my trusty jump starter and drove straight to the battery place. They had it changed and I was back on the road in less than 10 minutes. I was surprisingly and pleasantly shocked that they were so fast! Headed to the car show and spent the day chatting with DS, DIL, and her mom. DIL's two nieces were there also - ages 4 and 12. They're a lot of fun.
DS's '66 (I think) El Camino.
Lots of other cool things to see too!
I tried to get the owner to give me this cutie, but they declined. I dunno why...
