I am wiped out! :th I got a little crazy today and I got 9 quarts and 9 pints done of pickled okra. That is a lot of vinegar and a lot of okra. Now the hard part is letting them sit for a few weeks before cracking them open. They have to soak up all the flavors for a while. This was all during daycare naptime.

This weeks canning was a huge batch of crab apple jelly and a small test batch of HOT roasted jalepeno/crab apple jelly. The spicy jelly turned out so good and it is SPICY! Thinking it would be awesome on pork chops or chicken or with cream cheese on crackers. :drool

I think I have my first 2 goats born here sold. Luna's bucklings are 8 weeks old this week and I banded them both last night. They are doing good this morning. A lady just wanted one but I talked her into taking both. :) She wants to get them in a few weeks. I have 2 more weeks before I need to get the other 2 kids sold. Then I will be a milking fool with the 2 mommas. I am hoping to sell one of them as a "doe in milk" so I want to get her milking good first. I will be sad to see them go but I certainly don't need 3 more boys. Letting the little blue eyed girl go is going to be the hardest. :( I really really love her. She has the funnest personality and the cutest face. Must get pictures, must get pictures.

In other news, we picked up our second cutting of hay from the field last night. 90 bales of really really great hay! The goats were so excited when I swept out the trailer and gave them all the alfalfa and clover flakes.

Made you look! :p It snowed today on top of Pike's Peak elevation 14,114 feet and I live at about 5500 feet but still it snowed just 40 miles from my house. :D We did get a small rain shower out of the storm so that was nice.

Wow...would have been so cool to be up there with snow. My family visited and we actually were there Friday. We took the train up. Just drop them off at the airport today. Now I can have some peace and quiet. I am too old for a very chatty 6 year old....
