    I'll have to ask her how many inches tall they are. They were born on the 10th or 11th, so less than a week old now, just a day or so old in the pic. The really amazing thing is that a few days earlier, my mom's neighbor's pygmy/Nigerian cross also gave birth to 5! Last year a different doe of...

    This is one of my mom's does who had her babies recently. Count 'em, 5! That's 4 boys and 1 girl. Not bad for a little Nigerian Dwarf. Out of 3 does my mom got 10 babies this year! 7 boys and 3 girls. :rolleyes:

    The tile comes in 12" pieces. I am relieved it turned out well. It's hard to tell until all the elements are together. That paint gave me so much anxiety!

    lol, yeah I wanted to type bathROOM, but ran out of well, room. Farmfresh, it should do fine. You may want to get some citrus fertilizer. If the leaves turn yellow it probably needs iron.

    I don't know how old it is. It is the only plant we left on the property after we moved in, the previous owners lived here since the 50's. We've been here 6 years and it was definitely mature when we moved in. It's a dwarf, about 6 ft.

    Before -when we first moved in: Notice carpet on the floor and it's hard to see, but a nasty textured wallpaper. Middle: After: It's not 100% done. Towel bars still need to go up (same ones as in middle pics) as well as door and window trim. But it is functional! Oh, and I still need...

    Have picked almost 50 lbs of oranges and still plenty left. Sent boxes of oranges to my parents, fil, and a friend who just had surgery. Fun to have access to these to send to my loved ones stuck in the snow. Today I harvested a nice bok choy, will cook it up tomorrow. Planted onions for the...

    Edwardian Farm - Update post 1!

    Not about farming, but we've been watching Downton Abbey on PBS and it's set in the same time period, it's fun to see another aspect of that time.

    Applying to adopt!

    I believe the adoption tax credit is still available. Make sure you know the details of that to get back a lot of your expenses. Last I checked it was up to $10k.

    Applying to adopt!

    Congrats! I am also an adoptive parent and we are applying again. Long and painful, but worth it in the end. Kind of like pregnancy. ;)

    Californians.... You're Toast!

    Ditto! Besides, this morning I was snow sledding with the kids and tomorrow we may hit the beach. May as well enjoy life before we all die in that catastrophe.

    Retirement?

    lol, we're near the beach too. (closer than 6 miles) ;) And our house is quite small. I'd really like some land, but now I'm becoming a wimp weather-wise and don't think I could handle snow again. Highs of upper 70's this weekend. :cool:
