77Herford Farm Zoo Journal Moving

Going with a Rustic design for the kitchen. I at least helped choose the design. Some stone bordering on walls and lots of woodwork. She wants a big bay window in front of the sink to look out of for the sunset.

Sorry no house pictures.

I'm jealous about the big bay window! Always wanted one in the living room, throw a few pillows and make a window seat.

But having that big bay window in the kitchen would be excellent as well. Not just to look out. Hanging plants of fresh basile or parsley for use in cooking.

Good Luck with your kitchen renovation. Glad wife allowed you to make some choices on her project.

Yes, luckily we do agree in some choices of decor. We both like the Rustic/Country home look. My ideal super home would be something like those old lodges in the Rockies National Parks. I loved staying in them as a kid on the few family vacations.
Ok the wife says I said it wrong. Its a large Half Moon window in front of the kitchen sinks.

DH inspected a few log cabins and they were impressive. These kits are well over standard. Love the look and the roomy interior. Good layout. Everything is centralized. This makes home repair much easier. Like any manufactured home. Now that would be MY super home if I ever had the chance of choosing.

10 acres, Log Cabin, two windmills, water system, 700 ft deep well, and also a mechanical electrical backup system. And of course, satellite for communications.

Plus a field full of goats, sheep, bunnies and dogs. All healthy.

THAT'S MY PERFECT PICTURE. If I win the lottery, so long New Jersey! But then again, not really lucky in that way. Have to do it the hard way and actually earn it. Oh well.

Good Luck with your renovations.

One of my aunts has a big bay window over her sink towards the west to watch the sunset - it's nice. One thing she did to make it extra nice was glazing the window with some stuff that allows her to look out and see everything perfectly but deflects the sun's harsher rays...it also gives a golden tint to the outside of the window and you can't see in from the outside. It means she doesn't need a window treatment for privacy and it's kind of like having sunglasses for your window - really cool stuff. You might want to look into it (sorry, I don't know what it's called).

Samantha my white/grey Nubian is by far the oldest of the goats. She is twelve and the matriarch of the herd. She is making herself known amonst the others but isn't attacking anyone. She just seems to brood confidence as the others let her eat first.
The other two Nubets seem inseperatable of course they are sisters. The black one with white spots is the smallest and rowdiest.

Good amount of rain yesterday. I imagine Ohio is getting it either today or tomorrow, though it was going North Northeast so it could miss the southern half.

Mitsy is looking better, isn't limping so much anymore. I erased all my pictures on my computer do to a stupid virus so I guess doing that removing them from the forum. I guess the Nub'ets owner had some email virus, which LUCKILY my norton picked up but couldn't fix it without a complete whipe of my system. I have one computer super nerd friend from the old days that was able to with code remove the threat without removing all my data, which was awesome. It would of taken hours to put that data from paper back into my computer.

I then sent off word to all my contact list of the potential problem. I loathe hackers that steal data or just mess with your system for the fun of it. I was once in a forum that a person got mad at the creator and hacked the forum just to make it work poorly and constantly shutdown, they FINELY fixed it but it took a few months and they lost several members, it was a shame.

Any whoo, the little Hereford piglets are so freaking adorable. I think they are close to two months old. They're little red butts and perfectly curled tails are pretty sweet. Dorothy is still doing great as a mamma and she even gets along with the huge GOS/cross sow with new piglets I got from P, which is helpful for space. Blanche had her litter just over a week ago with fourteen piggies, Old Majors last kids. My new Boar is in Old Major's old pen just chilling out. He is around one year old and likes a good rub behind the ears.

I thought before seeing him that a Large Black/Tamworth cross would be possibly spotted or patches of the same color but nope, solid red or black. They only had one for sale a black boar who looked like a Black Tamorth but a little longer than the average Tammy. He was raised like a pet but is fully intact as they new they were going to sell him once old enough.
I think I'll name him "Ham", lol.

Jake, Marshmellow and Rolly are doing great with the sheep and are with them during the day now. Those last three high schoolers still come over to take care of the lambs. Raven and the pups are doing just fine. During the afternoon I let Raven and the pups out in the front yard to explore with there Big Brother in toe. The GS pups saw a Bunny sitting still today eating and all of them followed it with their heads. They soon perked up when the bunny slightly jumped forward and then the chase was on or off as it lasted about two seconds as the bunny quickly ran away with the little pups thinking they could actually catch up, little tails waving.
