Get a 2x6 and screw them to it through the bottom of the pot. But if they have those drain holes on the sides of the bottom, I don't know hoe you'll keep the feed from draining out of them.

Man! I have ONE busy day at work and look at all the excitement I miss! Glad to hear everyone got mooooved around! I don't know about you but we aren't having ANY 'weather' out here. The whole ride home, I was waiting for it. Just cloudy up by town.

Did you need help with anything anymore? Probably not...seems you got everything under control! I can't wait to see all the babies! You'll have to show us how you work that feeder thing out. Sounds like a good idea to me. Depending on how heavy duty those plastic pots are...it could work. I'm going to wait to see how that works out! :caf

I am proceeding with the flowerpot plans! In the meantime, I'm trying to explain to Tim my idea and he is pound pound pounding something together. In a couple minutes he has a 6" long wooden feeding trough done...for the goats :/ But his was wayyy heavy to carry down the hill. Mine won't be ;)

Okay pregnant ewes settled. I started my lambing thread. Now we watch and wait! :fl

CREATIVE
Well, I finished weaving the new strap for my purse. And guess what. It's too short :somad Again. So I started a knitting project instead! :lol: I do think I am a bit ADD. I did manage to get the poinsettias out of the living room yesterday and rearrange the furniture to accommodate the loom. It's crowded, but it works. I'm trying to knit a cowl with some crazy loopy handspun yarn I made. Don't know if I have enough, in which case I will have to spin some more. See why I'm ADD?

I am going to be sooo tired today. I got up at 4:30 a.m. Yesterday was just so busy getting everybody reorganized. I was wiped out last night and went to bed around 9.

It never did rain or snow yesterday which is good. I had moved the Jacobs back down to the creek because the creek looked like it had receded a lot. So hopefully they are all snug in their shelter. The wind has picked up a bunch and I think it's going to feel a lot colder today. I hate wind but at least it should dry up some of the mud! :clap

RUTH
I think Ruth did not pass her competency test with flying colors because they want to send her to a neurologist for further testing. :rolleyes: Well forget that because she has already been diagnosed with mild dementia by a neurologist last year. When she told us they asked her a bunch of questions, like about the door and a pencil, and then asked her the same questions again a couple of minutes later, Tim and I just rolled our eyes and said "FAIL." :lol: I think any kind of deal to get the farm is dead in the water right now because despite her intended wishes, she is incapable of carrying out any plans to change her will on her own accord at this point. Oh well!

Later gators! :frow

Well, Coco is coming today! :clap She's bringing the evil one, too! :clap I can't wait to show her around. We will definitely take pics while she's here.

Yesterday was a big grooming day on the farm! I gave Pick my schnauzer a bath and a haircut, and she looks much better!

We brought the whole flock of Finns Shetland and Lala and Patches up to the barn and crotched them all out, cleaned off all dry poopies and treated them again for the lice. They look much better, I only hope they feel much better soon. The lice thing is bad on a couple of them, not all, but I see my entire wool crop going down the tubes because of it. :barnie Hopefully this treatment will be effective and my wool won't be ruined completely. Oh and no signs of any impending pregnancies there. Finneas 360 didn't do a very good job of breeding back in September when he got here. :/ Unless they all pop out udders in the next couple of weeks, I think we will be waiting until May for the Finns to start popping out lambies.

So I'll report with pics later after the COCONUT visit! :clap
