Coffee anyone ?

On a good note the youngest 18mths finally held on to the saddle horn to be led around. He usually is just there and you can't move. He would even lean off if left alone. To much faith in us I guess. Sometimes you gotta be fast he'll take a step of the porch at you and you'd better catch him because he's not looking down and just reaching out.

Some kids are born without any fear.

@CLSranch That horse is a million dollar horse. Maybe not to anybody else, but he certainly is worth that much to you.

That's the spunky mare of the 2. My older brother RIP would not ride a horse except her. The other is the one my 3yr old rides I just had her saddled to cut a heifer and load a bull. Also the other is about 9mths breed with out being rode in a year.

Kinda good even great after he gets his balance. Right now not so good. It's funny the other who has been lead around since that age will NOT take the reigns or enjoy a faster step if I try to lunge her around me.

Ok, can I just say that chickens do not live to be 8! I have had a few very special birds who were ancient, but that is in no means average. And ducks only living to be 6? They seem to have longer lifespans than chickens. Seriously, which decrepit, undead, animals were they calculating? Was it their child’s goldfish that magically changes slightly every so often? Okay, I’m done.

Agreed! I have three birds that are approaching 7, but that's super rare.

I have 5 that were 7 this just passed Feb...bought as day old chicks. Three are still laying. Been good hens! Two roos also 7 one more Is 6. Most don't do so well. Then there's the 36 y/o mini stallion still doing good...but slowing down. This is geriatric acres.

Another set of goat twins late afternoon. Just checked and a doe in barn appears to be starting labor, so will be out checking again in half HR or so, she's ready and a wide load...at least twins, trips wouldn't surprise me. That will leave 2 more to kid any day. I thanked everyone for holding out for this good weather!! Dry, warm, sunshine days. Still low 50s out there now and most of the herd are laying outside.

Had made a check, thinking I'd go to bed early. Cancel that. Probably a couple hours wait now. Then I'll feel ok. Other two looked comfy and settled down with others. Probably tomorrow or Thur for them. So far 4 black kids & 50/50 split. Last yr almost all white. Just like Christmas.

Coffee is on.
Ground Worked DD's pony yesterday, he quite a bit calmer and behaved. I will keep ground working for awhile, maybe adding a surcingle next week.
Also pulled down another wall's worth of lathe and did some clean up at the farm, bits of plaster still in the lathe. On Sunday we got the dog mess cleaned up, they came back and tore up another area Monday night. Got some game cameras out again.
Today school and get my hair cut, it's overdue. Not sure plans this afternoon.
We are up to 17 kits, another polish had 4 and she is fostering a lone surviving mini rex.

Thanks for the coffee I’m on my last cup. Still dark outside but getting a glimmer of sunrise. Took the 4 year old on a 5 mile ride on Pearl. The 6 year old watched cartoons with Papaw. They fed bottle lambs, petted all that would stand still for them and enjoyed the sheep. Today’s plans are to go to the zoo in Tyler. We’ll see how that goes, supposed to NOT rain.
