77Herford Farm Zoo Journal Moving

IT was 70 degrees yesterday and I was actually HOT outside doing chores and this morning it is already 50 degrees out, but by 7pm tonight it is supposed to snow and be 30 degrees !?!?!?!?! This is the craziest winter/spring or whatever season it is I have ever seen.

Yeah, we'll be in the 60s here today and then yo yo between 40-50 and in a few days be back to the 30s. It's really no wonder that everyone has sinus issues and can't get rid of them!

If anything is going to warm your soul its a 2 foot tall princess at day care. I'm so glad you can visit that place, it really does make even the bluest days great.

Well Me and the soon to be X do still have somethings in common, we like to get things nipped in the bud. We had the meeting today and was out within two hours with papers signed. The paperwork through the courts will of course take six months or so to process but at least things are done. She can go explore the world now and I will be happily with my Animals.

Unfortunately I will have to sell around twenty acres of some of my prime acres for the settlement. You all can look that up...eeek. Central Iowa land is expensive.

 

[daisychick]

Wow! That was quick.

 

[Remuda1]

Wow! That was quick.

Blessedly so. That's wonderful, no lingering on and on. I'm sorry about having to sell some of your property. How long have you all been married? I'm glad that you were able to come to an agreement so quickly. As you said, now you can both move on with your lives.

 

[ThreeBoysChicks]

Wow - That was easy. Glad the decision / details are over.

 

[77Herford]

Yes, it was quick. Her uncle went through a messy divorce and she didn't want that and nor did I. In the end its easier to just hash it out to the bottom line and get it over with. I may sound not very thoughtful but I get over most things pretty fast and move on. I'm sure many would sulk over this for sometime but I just wash my hands of it. Yes, somedays will be tough but I have family and friends who will help me through like they always have and I with them.


On a Farming note, I sold my Rabbits to neighbors and also sold off two of my six Nubians to nearby Homesteaders. Now each one of those families will have their own milk. I'm becoming the local supplier, lol. Know I need to hire somebody to help me out as the young lady quit all of a sudden...grrr.

I'm glad you were able to iron everything out so quickly. I think people who drag out the inevitable are just torturing themselves and making lots of money for the attorneys.

There's a lot to be said for moving on. Plus I KNOW you learned a lot about people, women in particular, and just what's important in a mate, and it ain't big blue eyes and big "you know whats". That's always nice as added equipment, but the basics are what's important.

Believe me, I learned all that the hard way........

Lol, I prefer a smaller package myself.

Watched Bell give birth to a beautiful heifer calf at noon. Those are Jersey's if those new to the Journal don't know, My X and I named all our Jersey cows after Diseny characters. In fact I will probably keep that tradition for the Jersey's they are more animated, .

John Smith already popped into my head for the bull calf but I don't have a name yet for the new arrival.

I've heard some good reports at Farm 2. Many of the Goats are giving birth so soon enough those Bucks will have their work cut out for them. Also Clove and Brat are doing an excellent job at keeping Dogs and Coyotes out of the pastures.
