Maybe there is a summer camp for evil farm animals. We'll send your horse, my rooster, OOOH idea! RTG could be the camp counselor! She seems to know how to adjust attitudes!

I second that nomination!

RTG - when does Evil Farm Animal Camp start cause I'm sending you a horse!

Can I send my SIL's kids? RTG seems to have a handle on poorly disciplined kids too. My SIL's solution has been to drug them up. I feel bad for them.

I have a father who needs a little adjustment too!

Send me the horse. I'd love the opportunity to train another problem horse. Seriously.

(BTW I am helping to care for a horse that is 33 years old, Em. sorry)

unruly children need boundaries, discipline and love......not drugs. Send them too.

Unruly roosters get the stock pot at my house.

Unruly adults........prolly ought to keep them at home. I'd just clock 'em a few times. Ask my brother, lol.

Adults should know better.

RTG your right they should.

I'd love to send her to you...permanently!

Hope you get the dog situation under control.

That things go well with the boys and you don't clock anyone at the school.

I was just telling hubby yesterday that February felt like May, March felt like April and now April is feeling like February. Hopefully May doesn't feel like January.

Congrats on the sales! I am thinking about selling one of Jaz's girls from last year. I decided I really don't need three milkers. They can be registered as 50% if you really want. Jaz could have been registered but I didn't want to pay for it when she was just a family milker. Let me know if you are interested in a LaMancha, I will give you a good deal since I know you will take good care of her. They are very sweet and friendly and have horns. One is badger marked and the other solid black.

Hmmm....

I'm not interested in registering but it's good to know that they could be if I changed my mind on that.

Pictures?

This post is gonna take you through a wide range of emotions so if you're not up for a roller coaster right now then I suggest coming back to it later.














My phone started ringing first thing this morning. It was the dog warden calling to update me on the situation with the dog from across the road. The people told her that it's not their dog! That it must be another lab from down the road because they constantly have to chase one off too. I informed her that it was a load of bull that she was being fed. We discussed it some and decided that the next time I see the dog I'll catch it and confine it and she'll come get it. They just don't want to pay the $75 fine for allowing their dog off their property without a leash. Then I got to thinking and figured that they're probably trying to pin it on the dog directly next door to me...Maddie. It's not her and her owners keep her in their back yard. She loves to try to startle the goats by barking at them but since they run pigs and cattle in the yard with her I'm not really worried about her...and it's not her anyway.

Went out to release the chickens from the coop and found 5 hens in one nest box (pyramid style). That nest box comfortably fits 2! I wish I'd had my camera or at least my phone with me! Note to self...don't head for the barnyard without your phone.

Came inside to learn that one of my neighbors died yesterday. He was a really nice man...around the same age as my parents. He had brain cancer...but that isn't what killed him. It was a heart attack in the middle of the night. The one thing that I've learned about cancer is that it rarely kills...but it makes your body so susceptible to other things that will. Mike was a grain farmer who started leasing his land to other grain farmers when his health declined. He always had a smile and a wave for you. The neighborhood mourns his loss

I'm preparing to go get B from school. Bringing him home for lunch and then it will be off to his counseling appointment. This will be the first appointment without me in the room with him. I really hope that he's ok with it and will open up to his counselor. :/ He's had a few minor issues this week that I'll write a note for her to discuss with him.

Then I have to rush home and go back to the school for K's IEP meeting. They want to push him to First grade even though we know and they know that he's not ready. Reason? Because if he were kept in Kindergarten next year he would be 3 years older than the rest of the kids and while that doesn't matter now it will in middle / high school.

Well that's my roller coaster ride for the day. I'm off to get B!
