Bridgemoof--Sheep & Wool festival

[Bridgemoof]

Nothing new to report on the goat front! No goats kidded overnight. We moved some goats around this morning. Now the two boer nannys with their kids are together, with poor #10 who hasn't kidded yet! The kids are romping around playing together, cute!

So the family unit is leaving around 9:30. Instead of feeding his horses before he leaves, what is Tim doing? He's OFF PICKING UP MORE GOATS! The neighbor has some PIA goats he wants to get rid of. So Tim is going to go get them, doesn't know where he's going to put them, but I guess I'll have to deal with the new goats when he leaves

I have to run to the farm store before they leave with my car. Nervous breakdown coming....I can see it now!

 

[Southern by choice]

sorry bridge...no breakdowns allowed, you have way too much responsibility to be that selfish!
So glad the kidding is going well!

I am wondering if Tim needs to be on some ADD meds!

I am wondering if Tim needs to be on some ADD meds!

I think he needs a swift kick in the rear end.

Bridge - if you need help going to the store or whatever let me know! (It's supposed to snow again tomorrow...1-3" of WET snow is what they're calling for out by me.) I don't have a pickup, but you'd be amazed what you can fit in a forrester! Hollar if you need a ride or help with anything!

Coco thanks so much! I made it to the store okay and got hopefully everything we will need. So far my helper, Tim's brother, is still in his jammies and flip flops drinking coffee, telling me how he's going to help me. I've already fed the chickens, turkeys, goats, sheep, mama goats, pig, and half the horses! Ruth is yammering on about how her car need to be cleaned off, and she needs stuff from the store.

What I'm really worried about is getting some work jobs done. I have a new magazine that I have to complete by Wednesday, and I haven't started it yet! My regular amagazine is due on Wednesday, too, but I've made good progress on it. Hopefully when everybody leaves I can sit down and work.

Later!

Well hollar if you need help with ANYTHING!

 

[Bridgemoof]

Thanks Coco! I will get it all done because I am an AMAZING Superwoman! I'll just be a bit cranky for the next few days Actually, now that the "family unit" is gone I feel better already!

The new goats are in the horse trailer. That is where they will live for the next 3 days.

Just keep that felting needle FAAAAR away from your computer! We wouldn't want any creative 'distractions' to pop up!

 

[Bridgemoof]

LOL Coco, I was good and did not touch my felting stuff today! I am just about finished with my one publication, and this weekend can work on the other. Yay!

Today went pretty well. I got my helper moving around 11, when we went to go pick up Lencho. Lencho finished feeding the horses. Yay for Lencho! Then I had Tim's brother working on a few "honey-do" projects. One was installing a heat lamp in one of the stalls, the other was building me a fence line feeding trough for my sheep! That's almost done Then he helped me do the evening feeding, so that was good to have help. We are done and in the house. Now I have to whip up something for dinner, and that will conclude my day!

The ham and scalloped potatoes was DELISH by the way. We ate it all!

I don't know what is going on with the other 3 goats. Nothing happening. I guess I can go and check their ligaments tomorrow. I'm not very experienced at that, though, so not sure how effective that diagnosis will be! I would love it if I wake up tomorrow and there were a bunch of new baby goats nursing already. There's another weather system moving in with snow, so maybe that will set them off.

I had ham and scalloped potatoes on the menu for tomorrow. Then two teenage boys ate then entire 7lb ham that I had planned on lasting 2 meals. So it will be scalloped potatoes with bacon.

Good luck with your projects! So nice to have "help" (the kind that is gettign started when you are finishing). Sounds familiar. I get frustrated with that sometimes. Hubby doesn't quite understand when I ask for help it is because I need it NOW. he is wonderful, but sometimes we have conflicting opinions on priorities.
