watching my doe that kidded Sunday. Ha!
She is such a great first time mom. She keeps a very close eye on her kids.
Today I was watching her, and it is evening, so she wanted to mosey on up to the barn. Those 2 kids were bouncing all over the back blade and ignoring mom as she kept calling. So she stood and waited... and kept calling... until the 2 tiny trouble makers finally listened.

Coffee is ready. I'm cooking pan sausage, fried duck eggs and toast. There's enough for everyone. If I run out of duck eggs, we'll start on the chicken eggs.

Thanks Bay! Duck eggs, the only way I've had them was in the form of salted duck egg.

that new set of kids continues to cause trouble! They kept jumping on a junk pile yesterday and fell in and got trapped twice.
Got rid of half the pile today......

Coffee is ready. We cleaned the horse barn Wednesday and yesterday we scooped poop around the barn. Over a year ago, we got 100+ loads of wood chip mulch from power line contractors. We spread a lot of wood chips around the barn to keep the dust down. We have a 31 year Tennessee Walker mare that has breathing issues, I guess the horse version of COPD. The sand gets dry and dusty and she coughs and hacks. The chips did a great job. Plus we put their round bales of hay right outside the barn, so they just kinda hang out, eating and pooping.
A major portion of horse poop, rotted hay and wood chips has now been transferred to the garden. We are beat. We still have some more to scrape up. It is so dry that the top layer was pulverized manure, sand and hay. Underneath was dark black, rich soil. Even with no rain in 2 months it is still holding moisture and damp. We give it a few days to dry out some, then we'll try to get the rest of it. Then we'll start the wood chip train, shuttling wood chips to the barn and barn area.
Coffee is good this morning.
