Autumnprairie's Journal>> NEW Update Today

[Queen Mum]

Goats just crack me up. I put a piece of metal corrugated out on the ground in the girls pasture the other day and they are treating it like a tanning bed. Today, half of them (about 5 girls) are all out laying on it stretched out like they are all out trying to get a tan. Then Blitz is all curled up by the burn bin (which is still smoldering with last nights burning stuff) keeping toasty warm.

But the BOYS, are over by the hay feeder snuggled up in the sun with each other after a rousing morning of taking turns smacking each other in the head over who got to fight with the punching bag, which they all totally forgot about. (Except Houdini, who is snuggled up to the side of the house.) Ian, who NEVER sleeps at night with Trump Card insists on laying right next to Trump Card and won't let anyone snuggle with him but Ian. What a bunch of goof balls.

Well back to work.

Answers:

1. Write about all kinds of things, I love learning about other peoples lives, farms, animals, you name it. Even boring everyday stuff can be fun! I read more on BYH than I do anything else.

2. Kidding threads of course, us people without any girls due for months need to live through the other lucky people with babies on the way!

3. More of whatever you want to share. I like to learn more about you and your homestead. Write what you feel like sharing.

4. As many Smileys as you feel like putting, it is YOUR journal. I like smileys!

5. This is a trick question isn't it??? Ummmmm I personally want pictures hourly.

1. Anything and everything that goes on. Good or bad. Really anything that you want to, is fine with me.
2. I like it when it's on the same thread, so it makes it easier. If it's easier for you to do two, then I am ok with that as well.
3. Both, I love hearing about you and your animals
4. More smiley's or less, whatever you like
5. As often as possible, pictures are GREAT!
No worries if you can't answer everyday. You have a life, and we all know that.

I Love my job, I love my job I love.... except first graders only because they got me sick They can be sweet and loving and tattletales and monsters all rolled into one. I know I have two 5 year old grand daughters who I get calls from parents saying talk to her she won't listen to me from my oldest daughter. My DGD is a Neenee's (I spelled it the way they say it) girl and will be good for a week or so then I will get another call.
I worked 3 days this week and a dentist and a drs appt on the other two none of which were mine. Mine are this week I have a sleep study that should be interesting with this cold.
All is quiet on the homestead goats still pregnant and the boys still running through fence everyday I think we need to put up the field fence just waiting to be paid today to get the poles I need so that is my weekend project. fixing the fence since the electric fence is currently not working right eventually the whole yard will have a field fence around it.

I have been looking at property again in the Ozarks my favorite place to be besides being home in New England I found a 28 acre plot with woods and fields that is cheap and already fenced and currently has horses on it so it has a water sourece of some kind I am starting a 5 year plan to have a bigger place and more land I think that is being realistic

Good luck w/ your 5 year plan.

I need to marry a rock star or something, because I have so many places I'd love to live, it'd take a bazillion dollars to buy all the land / put up fence / build barns / transport the goats from place to place. Alaska. Tennessee. Australia. Hawaii. Montana.

Yeah, I know that getting a rich rock star for a husband's going to be tough, considering I'm pushing 40 and already married....

BUT - I can dream.

Ouch - A rock star would most not support your goat addiction. A rock star would not help you remodel a buck barn. Just sayin...

Sorry to hear that you are sick. I hope that you get better soon. That's great that you help out your daughter. I had to laugh when I read that, there are times that I call my mom and say, if you want your gran babies to live, you better talk to them. When in reality, I get a little break while they talk to my mom for an hour. Hope all goes well with the sleep study. I also hope that all goes well with the field fencing. You amaze me with what all you get done. Don't push yourself too hard, would hate to hear that your cold gets worse. Look forward to seeing more pictures. Thank you for the updates, I love to hear how everything is going for you. Take care.
