They have a pile outside. That’s on how Cassandra ended up with a nail thru her foot last year. She hammered nail in board then couldn’t get it out and left if pointy side up. There are 3 reasons I run insurance cost calculations with assumption we will meet our deductible at minimum… Alexander...
Alijah says he caught Dominic AND Cassandra with the handsaw. So we are using a folding table until further notice. This is also why we only have metal folding chairs except for Alijah's recliner. Everything is a trampoline or spot to test out tools...
Hope everyone’s day is going better than mine…
Someone was practicing their saw skills on the dining room table. The likely culprit immediately declared innocence. I now have a 3 legged table with bent rails for the removable center slab.
Yesterday was a fun dinner at Aunt Jodi’s. Today, is sadder and lower key. We are visiting Alijah’s bio-dad who is dealing end stage cancer. We aren’t sure how many more visits we will get with “Old Guy”.
@Ridgetop We looked everywhere at home, at school, and asked bus company. After 2 weeks of using a loaner, we gave up and bought another one. So the first is due to show up any day now. 😒
That is why the new one has an apple air tag on it. We can play fox hunt to find it.
He can’t take tuba on bus so he has one that stays at school and one at home. So mouthpiece goes back and forth in case in backpack.
Also, he’s on autism spectrum and has some executive function issues. He “glitches” and skips a step like rinsing the soap out of cup he washing before pouring...
I hate T1D. Think Dominic is getting sick bc can’t keep his sugars up. Took all of night shift since Alijah has job interview first thing this morning.
Alexander is my oldest and has no sheep and nothing to do with the animals. So he gets paid for helping me with the farm stuff. Cassandra get paid only if it’s something for main flock instead of her sheep.
They all have set house & home acre chores. They get minimal allowance if they do their...
Yak wool is the downy layer under guard hairs. It’s a luxury spinning wool. I think there is some extra processing involved to get long guard hairs out of it but I don’t recall that part of friends monologue of delight on getting some to try.
He was told when he started band, the first set of everything was on us. If he lost or damaged something due to carelessness he had to replace it. The first mouthpiece had his name engraved on it. The new one has the same plus an apple air tag tied on to it. He's also not getting a straight A in...
@Baymule Having cheap labor also help! Eldest got $5 for playing sheep dog. Unfortunately, it went to paying off his debt for loosing $110 tuba mouthpiece...
I got my lights working again now that it is dark so soon.
Musical pens is mostly completed. The show sheep pair are in with my herd since I am missing a gate panel. Snickers was tolerant during the shuffle (grain bribes were used). He's having fun reintroducing himself to his ladies. It only...
Dominic's insulin pump is out for delivery!!!
🎉🥳🎉🥳🎉🥳🎉🥳🎉🥳🎉🥳🎉
Our training class is December 10th and we are starting him on pump over Christmas break. I am so excited that we will be able to dose 1/4 units and smaller.
Sorry, writing an epic. I have a better idea of layout from what @KodeshAcres shared. Her house is east of paddock with garden fence in picture shared. First priority is shelter and water. Then you can subdivide paddock before spring grass surge.
Shed
The cattle panel with widest holes, tarp...
You sheep do okay with the electric net as long as it is very hot and tight. They will also stay in 48" sheep and goat fence loosely run with minimal t-posts. I still need to get my corner posts in and tighten my fence up.
