Bed fellow

What's worse than finding a bedbug in your bed?

Sr. Spot " someones been sleeping in my bed! "

Petunia " someones been sleeping in my bed! "

Sullivan " someones been... dead in my bed and here they are! "

Finding a dead opossum in your bed!

I found this unwanted addition to Spot, Luney, and Sully's bedding today. Most of crawled in and dead before I put the goats out there. I did some, much needed, cleaning of house tonight.

Crap

THIS WEATHER IS CRAP!!!

Farm truck

Our truck has returned after being in purgatory with an incompetent sorry excuse for a mechanic.

Dairy Queen

I like to call my wife my Dairy Queen, because she milks goats and cows feeds caves and kids with ease makes yogurt, butter, cheese, keifer, etc... My wife feeding four kids at once.

Dope

We brought Lucy, Autumn's horse, home yesterday. My dope of a horse tried to kill her. It's times like this that I consider getting rid of him. When I think about that, it really makes me consider what I want in a horse. I want a pair of bomb proof horses, trained to drive, to work on the farm, that can be safely ridden by my children, my wife and me. Am I asking too much? I know is not the time for is. I would have to be at home full time for it to make sense. Pictures of Lucy and ducks on the pond.

Low

Don't look now, it's mediocre man.

Mud

The way I see it, we have 3 seasons: Summer, Winter and MUD. We are definitely in Mud season!

Need a fix

I feel like an addict that needs a fix. A fix of what you might ask? SPRING!

High

Used the new generator yesterday to pump water, it worked awesomely. Got the vacuum pump working correctly today and used the goat's milking machine. It worked out so well, I can't help but feel high. Picture of 7 out of 8 kids piled on each other sleeping.

Empty

The barn is empty of all animals as of today. I am so happy to have all the animals out of that wet nasty mess. Here is a photo of the heifer out in her new digs.

Mavrick chickens

The chickens have a perfectly good nesting box in the chicken coop, but they insist on laying eggs in the haymow.

Mud

My mud puppy of a horses tried to give Autumn a kiss.

Cut

The barn has been disconnected.

Technical difficulties

We received a new milking machine for the goats yesterday, but it didn't work out quite right. The vacuum was too strong for the goats delicate teats and the motor on the vacuum pump over heated and stared smoking. We will be sticking with hand milking for a while longer I guess. Very frustrating!

Displaced

In a short while this pigeon will be displaced from the haymow. I feel like my energies and my emotions are displaced.

Kill deer

An other sign of spring, the sound of kill deer.

Changing of the guard

We have different goats in the house now. Our total is up to 7 kids so fare this year. It's a tough job being cute.

Invaders

We have been taken over by four-legged cuteness. I don't see any improvement in the temperatures any time soon, so they can go back to the goat shed!

Spring?

Motto

Use it up, wear it out, make due, or do without. The motto of a prosperous farmer. My gloves, most of the wear is from this winter.
