Frustratedearthmother's Journaling Journey

[frustratedearthmother]

Cool front came through with a minimum of fuss. Got alerts on the phone all day yesterday...tornado alerts, lightning alerts...rain is coming alerts but nothing really came of it. We had one good round of rain that lasted about 15 minutes.

I managed to get a new roof put on a goat shelter. I'll leave it as a shade shelter until fall/winter when I'll put a back and sides on it. It's in the weaning pen so I needed to get it done. Weaning will commence soon enough.

Almost time to list some of the babies for sale. Yay - little buggers are lotsa work and constantly underfoot. I love it though (for at least 8 - 10 weeks), lol. I'll band a couple of bucklings and they'll be harvested this fall. Lotsa grass/browse out there that they can enjoy until then. These guys are Nubian/Boer crosses and I'm anxious to see how they grow out.

I promised the neighbors a batch of quail for the bbq pit, so I need to get busy and butcher. Need the cage room. I'll try to keep hatching them going for a constant supply of meat. They make tasty dog meals too. Handy little critters.

Need more coffee and then gotta get busy.

I have roof panels that need to get onto a roof. Way too windy -- I'd look like I was on a flying carpet ride.
One day it will get done. Been like this all week.

That sounds like a good plan for summer.

I get it! I waited about 3 days for the wind to decrease. Finally got it done yesterday morning but as I was finishing up the wind picked up again. I was glad I already had a gazillion screws holding the sheet metal down, lol.
