the early morning was made beter by that nice little surprise. :D...
thanks, I'm worried about the same thing, weve had such a weird year for weather.
thankfully with just the goats we wont be going through as much as I initially worried about but still, id rather have a lot more than needed than not enough.

I think the excitement often gets the best of many of us, certinaly myself included, we get all these big ideas then have a hard time figuring out where to start.
you've got the land but no imrpovments so id say realy you've got the best start...because you can go anywhere with it.
make...
still a basket case but what else is new lol.
looks like ive got the 2 embden goslings going home tonight so that's good

well they took the alpaca, seemed very nice, but I still didn't sleep much last night worrying...
I have anxiety its what I do, but my brain just keeps spinning round with "what if they change their minds, what if something happens to one of them, what if what if what if?!
he mentioned last...
its hot, but not brutal and were working in the shade.
its almost done. just need a little more lumber as dad decided to get creative on the roof...its to help me in the long run (the center panel will be removable or hinged so I can stand up in the middle and not kill my back trying to clean it...
supplies for the new duck house are gathered purchased and placed at the work site...
that's todays job... get that built, then early next week I can run some fencing around the night pen and move them on down before the mid week.

Well what a crazy week, still nothing solid on the alpaca, shes waiting on the guy for her 4 adults...
and I lost more baby buns to enteritis...not sure if its the feed or just the heat, considering switching feeds...we'll see...
and weve been battling worms in the goats thans to a 100% USELESS...
lady came and took alook, shes interested in the 4 alpaca and possibly the rabbits, she has a few older alpaca that someones supposed to be picking p soon and assuming they go home shell be back with cash for ours...
please keep the fingers crossed :)
thanks everyone, it realy sucks, but we do have to go 1 day at a time.
I keep 2nd gessing myself, my sister is going to have a fit when she finds out were selling the alpaca but this isn't her thing, she helps in an evening if I ask her to, she helped shear and is supposed ot be sorting and...
lol!
well this summer is not being kind on my body...or my ody is not being kind on me, either way its effecting my mental state and ive not been in the best f places mentally for a while...
still not but trying to claw my way up...
usually summer is easy on my body as long as I take it easy...
still nothing from the person for the 3 angora...that's fun.
I sent her a calm and as polite as possible "tell me now or were done" email...shes got until the end of today to message me back or ill refund and be done with her. its ridiculous.
not much else going on...
need to make a feed run...
well an angel came along and bought me new boots...
and by angel I mean truly an angel.
I barely know this woman, I know he in pasing at best form ren faires, she helped me out with a couple of tickets one year when none of my so called "real" frineds would, the answred a lot of my questions...
life likes to toss ups and downs...
keira ate my boots...5 mins it took her to eat 1/2 of a leather boot...WTF, I almost lost it...
dads going to lend me some money o buy another pair when the sales kick in again...but until then...the good news is despite being half eaten...they are still...
used is def the way to go...though seems around here at least some people want as much for their used junk as a store wants for it new...
but you can def find some great deals if your not in a rush :D
I did, its very comfy, a smaller old "ladies" recliner, was a little beaten but I found a slipcover a the christmass tree shop for $17, fits nicely looks pretty good and for under $30 for a "new" recliner including the cover im happy lol
she had a oversized old style chais lounge too that shes...
my body still hates me...probably in part due to the rain weve had today and drop in temps...
in good news I found a reclining rocker on one of the online yardsale groups for $10...
that sounds about perfect for my bank account...its not a couch but it IS a recliner and itll work unill I can...
