The things you bake and cook sound so yummy you should write a cookbook. In your spare time of course

I made some mullein tea for me and the kids earlier. It definitely helped with the congestion but I'm still dealing with the headache.
verkagj - I have written one cookbook already
Perhaps a gluten free cookbook will be in the future.

We've moved Daisy and Diva into their own pen for potential kidding. Daisy is hugely pregnant, no doubt about it. I'm gonna guess we've got less than a month to go with her.
I know I've said it before - no more pen breeding - but with as hectic as things have been around here it was the easiest route to go. So now I'm left not knowing exactly when everyone is gonna kid.
I moved Lilly into the young goat field as I suspect that she's pregnant and want to be able to watch her closely, which is something I can do easier in that field.
Goldie is still a no go. *sigh*
Maggie is very likely pregnant as she keeps jumping out of the field she is supposed to be in only to be standing at the gate every night wanting back in.
I'll keep y'all posted on any happenings as far as kids go.
Very soon we'll be culling a variety of our animals to various purposes.
The steer will go to the processor at the beginning of November, finally.
10 of the chickens (8 hens, 2 roosters) will be going to a new home as soon as their new owner completes his coop.
3 of the goats will be going to a new home as soon as their new owner completes a massive fencing project.
The 6 new baby bunnies are ready for new homes come Saturday and I hope to send them on their way quickly.
A number of chickens (roosters) and guineas will be processed for the freezer.
The reduction in numbers will be nice. I just wish we were culling the 2 horses along with those others.
I was just released from the chiropractor today, so back and neck is all better - yay!
I've got a number of "balls" in the air right now (when don't I?) but things are starting to slow down as various projects come to a close.
I've had a few folks ask about my goat record book. I'm doing some revisions and pulled (retired) the 1st edition from the market. The 2nd edition should be available very soon. It'll offer more information, expanded record keeping capability and is just all around a better book. Patience grasshoppers and ye shall be rewarded

That's so great that you are getting rid of a lot of animals, and mostly to new homes instead of the freezer! I wish we could cull some of the horses around here, imagine having 25 of those dead weighs hanging around? lol Most of them are really nice, it just seems so hard to sell them at a decent price. And they eat so much more than anybody else.
I can't wait to see what projects you will be up to now. Taking care of baby goats I guess will be one big project! Looking forward to lots and lots of cute baby goat pics.

They.are.out! 
Gah!
Daisy and Diva found a weak spot at the bottom of their fence that I didn't notice and slipped under. Though it would have been interesting to see Daisy manage to wiggle her big body under.
Lilly "unfastened" part of the fence and walked out where 2 runs of fencing met. Thank goodness Priya and Precious didn't see the hole and get out. I closed it back up and will have to wait until tomorrow to deal with getting the girls back where I want them until DH is available to help tomorrow.

Wow your critters must be taking notes from each other on how to escape.

You animals sound like ours . Our sheep kept escaping so we trained them to go to our yard when they get out.

Who needs a herding dog? I have a herding CAT!
Chowdy, B's orange tabby, decided to help herd the chickens in tonight. She had so much fun and was actually helpful!

I had to have DH help me to just be able to leave this morning! I went out to the car and immediately 7 guineas (a group DH refers to as the Magnificent 7), Chowdy the cat and 3 roosters came running up to me yelling for attention. Geesh! They then surrounded the car and I had to go inside to have DH come distract them so that I could go to the store.
Then when I'm coming home, I about flipped out when I turned onto our road to see 18 guineas milling around in the road! The Magnificent 7 and Helga's Crew were all just running in circles on the road. I rolled down the window and asked them "Just what do you think y'all are doing?!" The Magnificent 7 followed the car into the drive but I had to send DH out to retrieve Helga's Crew.
CRAZY! I have crazy crazy crazy animals!
