Well we had some rain showers move through today. Cooled it off some but people are still out wearing shorts.

I only had a lab today so I've been "working" on my math.... or you know sitting down with the intent of working on it eventually.

I either a had an brilliant idea or a really bad one.... I always have cravings for stupid cookie dough. Partially, I suspect, because I cant actually make any. At midnight last night I baught some of those precut cookie dough things! Stuck it in my freezer and I now have little cookie dough squares!

Another thing...College must be the only time in your life where it is normal and expected that you do your grocery shopping no earlier than 10:30 at night. I've spent many a late night wandering around grocery stores since I started college.

Went home this weekend. It was lovely.

I took my Grammy with me to celebrate dads birthday.

We wormed a vaccinated all the sheep. Separated the ewes whose lambs are ready to wean and took them to pasture. Took the rams to the buck pasture. Found a yearling ewe who was starting an itty bitty udder. All the sheep got marked with a blue crayon when they were wormed and I laughed a little every time I saw them with the blue streak down their heads.

My knee was also jammed into a salt lick when a ewe bolted after I grabbed her. Ouchy MaMa that was painful.

My dad decided it was time to release the turkeys. We had had three o them penned up for breeding but he felt bad for them and then the rest of the flock would never leave the side of the pen. Every one is much happier and running around eating. The one hen that has been free all along has a nest somewhere since she's been leaving on and off.

My archnemisis the skunk is also back!

He stole an egg from my broody hen. He didn't hurt her thank goodness and she still has 17 more eggs. She is such a nice broody. Doesn't peck or fight when I check the eggs. I moved her into a dog crate and set her up where the skunk couldn't get her.

My hides are dry so they've been folded up for storage.

Lol, sorry about your knee!!!!
Stinking skunks!!!! They start out stealing eggs, then chicks, and then they will go after the hens when they are roosting at night!!! I usually have a horrid time them every fall! Nothing a live trape won`t cure if you can catch them in time!!

 

[BrownSheep]

Yeah, right now my dads baiting him with some rotten eggs. that he gets him

I should not be allowed on Craigslist...just found some yaks including the color pattern I want for cheap......and my father is nothing but an enabler.

 

[BrownSheep]

Well my dad is going to go check out the yaks for me sometime this weekend. I am fairly certain we'll get two of the royals ( spotted).

and I might have a job! .

I got a voice message last night from my employer from last summer. I hadn't applied for anything this year but they called to see if I would be interested!

Congrats on the job and the yaks. I wish it wasn't so hot here I would love to have a couple of yaks

You would be amazed how well they do in the heat actually. For most of the summer we are above 100 and, as long as they have shade and water, they do ok. Ours actually do a lot of wading in the irrigation. Our heat is a dry heat though. None of that nasty humidity to deal with.
