Ready or Not....... Shouldvknwnbetter- Fall

[Hens and Roos]

We are good here, just had some heavy rain areas around us got some hail and further north had a tornado go through a mobile home park. We do have some more rain coming through today with potential for some rougher stuff.

Thanks, we are excited to see what next year kidding season brings

Congrats on OFA Granite

Guess we missed most of the weather "fun" out your way. Left Beloit Monday morning, visited a (different) forum friend just east of GB and stayed the night in Howard. We were in Sault Ste Marie Tuesday night. Managed to be in a restaurant when the lightning started and made it back to the hotel JUST before the rain hit. Got to the room, turned on the light. It went out after about 3 seconds. GREAT stuck in a hotel with no power. But it came right back on. Rained hard for some time then passed us by. Had good weather all the way back to Vermont.

thanks! Glad to hear that you missed the weather- it actually wasn't to bad by us, just some more rain/chilly temps and mud

this past week we have been wet/muddy/chilly and not sure this coming week will be much better

DS(12) is playing in a soccer tournament this weekend- played 4 games yesterday and maybe 4 games again today(his regular team and then a team he helps out when they are short players)- depends on how many games they win. He is goalie and does an awesome job at it!!

So after being with us for a little over a year, my mom moved back to her house yesterday not that we wont see her but it wont be as often.....

Had a busy day Saturday- since the weather was nice and sunny we got all animal pens cleaned out-goats, rabbits and chickens! So nice to have that done as they really needed it. DH even cut the grass as we were to get some rain overnight into Sunday morning- think we got just about 1inch....enough to leave some water standing.

Have to check our garden area and see if it's dry enough to be planted.

Special thanks to all the veterans for their service this Memorial Day!

Hope you can get your garden started soon. We are lucky, we can start our onions in the middle of March.

Guess its been awhile since I last posted,keeping busy with I guess everything- kids are on summer vacation now so I have extra hands to help get projects done(and the list is long and keeps getting added to....).

We only got 1 row planted in the garden- between the heat/humidity, rain and work just not enough time- not sure we will get one in this year again

Yesterday, 5 of our wethers went to their new homes(the 4 bottle babies went together and the 5th one went to be a buddy for another goat)-they will be spoiled

Happy Father's day to all those who fill this role- hope your day is a nice one!!

 

[Hillaire]

my garden is lacking this year too... it's been a crazy wet and hot year so far and it's only getting hotter lol. Glad you got your wethers to their new homes I bet it feels a little emptier in the goat area lol

 

[Hens and Roos]

It's a good empty- especially seeing how happy the person who now has them was yesterday- they have wanted goats for years now!

It is always nice when you see how happy the people are. It makes it far less painful.
Glad they are going to good homes!
