well, im home safe and sound...
i left the house at 9 am with a pack lunch and no money.
i came home $20 poorer with 2 brandywine raspberry plants and 2 Saddleback Pomeranian Goslings!
ok, first of all,i have been WANTING geese, ive been looking for goslings, looking at americans primarily but i like the poms too...i have been PLANNING on buying a pair either online from e-fowl (would cost me about $50 after minimums and such) or buying a pair of embdens from the locla feed store (because aparently you simply cannot find ams, oms or cottn patch locally...
so we whent up to the auction in scotts hill, very small turn out this week, im told last week was PACKED, but this week was nothign special, seems the first auction of the month is the busiest...
so we ended up not staying for the auction itself, instead we headed on up to Jackson Tractor supply where the West TN poultry club was having their Swap meet/sale (ive got to find out how often they are as i think that would be a great outlet for selling the buns
anyway, got up there and i noticed a guy with a pair of small africans in the back of his truck (they were chinese x african hence being small) and as i get closer, a tank full of Baby gooseys, i knew immediatly from the pattern they had to be saddlebacks...
yeah TSC let me take money out if i bought something so 2 raspeberry plants and 2 goslings came home with me today LOL.
Now i need to find a good sized dog hosue for them to call home once there old enough
Im HOPING i managed to somehow lucky pic a pair..but we wont know untill there old enough to lay
either way, there adorable, incredibly sweet (no fear of humans, and WANT to be with me, unlike the runners lol) and ive got a silly smile on my face LOL.
if it works out there both boys ill rehome one and try and find a girlfreind for him...if there both girls, ill try and find a boyrfriend and keep them as a trio, and if there a pair...WOOT! lol
So...id like yall to meet...Dandelion and Burdock.
and some of The Puddle Ducks playinging in the sun and in their pool!
and a couple of the newest babbits!
we have 3 that look like
and 5 of the black otters
and because im sharing pictures...
one of jack jack being silly with his what was once a wiffle ball and is now a high fashion coture hat!!!
Had a good morning though, the lady i whent with is absolutly a doll, so sweet and nice and she too had gastric bypass so! we had a good chat and kinda hoping we can truck share to the auction once a month mabe
(hey its a morning out)
going to try and get my 2 sorry looking raspberry plants in the ground tomorrow (no leaves but there not so dried out that they look dead so im going to soak them in rabbit poop tea overnight, pant them in the morning with a good helping of rabbit poop in each hole and see what they do
the brandywine veriety are a realy dark red and tend to be very nice desert and jam berries.
Ill add 2-4 more next month, probably a light red and a gold veriety and that should do me good for raspberries for a while (least untill i figure out where my acutla berry orchard is at which point ill be taking cuttings and putting ALOT more in. these guys are going alng the fence on our side between the dog and duck yards. im hopign as they fill in theyll provide some screening of the neighbor so the dogs arnt barking every time the guy comes out to "check" on his tomatoes (which is about 10000 times a day lol)
cant realy plant much iN the ducky/bunny yard as the ducks (and geese) will eat anything within reach so the hip roses will go in there and get baracaded off untill there big enough to qithstand the ducks.
then i just need a few blackberries. lol.
anywho. time to go inform facebook that iam indeed alive and safe
