We have, erm, a few cats here. They are all rescues of their own demise. I'll start with my most recent and her miracle litter. This is P.C. Stands for Pretty Cat. She's a rescue of high proportions. She was dumped on the back porch of my store where she almost starved to death. After two...

It's a good thing you love your nubians! Baha! I need to make some chevre to put on toast for breakfast. Oh man, cheesy cheese!

Well just when we got a break in the weather the skies opened up again. Working on editing pictures, getting caught up on laundry, and doing minuscule house work... a good way to get through this weather.

Do the wood chips help prevent weeds from coming up? It sure seems like it chokes them out, so why doesn't it choke out the veggies planted in it? I'd be interested in trying this.

See? Zinnia is terrible right now. Poor girl.

I have found that a 1/10 works best for the garden but a 1/4 works best for pasture fertilizing on Bahaia. I have to cut it back for flowerbeds and each mixture is marked so I don't burn something... the garden does NOT like the heavier mix. BUT The 1/10 can be used on everything.

This is Zinnia in all of her glory when she's healthy. She typically stays at around 180lbs. Right now she only weighs about 120 and it's scary how bad she looks. We teamed up with the vet and a group of goatsperts and were able to bring her back from the brink of death. She's still rough, but...

I wormed the goats again. Well, most of them. I did not hit the entire herd because the entire herd did not need redosing. I'm a mean person, though, and teased the goats with the promise of grain to get them into the smallest pen I have. One by one I checked eyelids, dosed appropriately, and...

The skies just opened up for about 30 seconds,and all hell broke loose. We're back to that annoying drizzle where you can't get anything done and don't need a jacket or umbrella but really really wish you were dry when you walk outside. I just checked on the garden. I HAVE PEPPERS!!! YA'LL! My...

It stormed until 4 this morning. We have a small break in weather now and I just threw the herd 40lbs of alfalfa pellets. I would top of the hay feeder, but that will just get saturated so there's no point.

Great progress! I only skimmed through but happy to follow your journey from here! @tortoise We used to use rose trimmers to nip the ankles off at the hock and then we would skin from there. I'm sure there's easier ways but since we don't eat that part of the rabbit, we just cut it and kept going.

No not July. AUGUST.

If this rain doesn't stop soon I'm going to need to build a raft to get around with. After the drought in 2011 and the near drought in 2014 I will never complain about to much rain... however I do have things I need to get done around the yard that I simply can not do if it is raining every time...

I don't want to include everything. When we did the taxes I thought my husband was going to faint when he found out what I spent.

Including the horses, dogs, cats, etc. I am spending about.... $700 a month.... SHHH DON'T TELL MY HUSBAND. That's hay included unless I go take a trip to get more alfalfa.

Or just goats? That changes things....

Ya'll don't want to know my feed bill! Are we including hay? :hide:hide

That looks like a good spot!

The rain here has been brutal on the goats. Neighbor lost 3 to parasites before he knew they were invested. I've got three does that are currently skeletons. Ugh.
