Goatgurl - life goes on at someday farm

[Latestarter]

Sorry you're having the run of bad "luck"... I told the last LO who was telling me 8 days and 45 days were "required" that I've considered just saying to hell with it and buying a motor home or pull trailer and just being a vagabond. She said she'd Email me a pre-approval letter... guess there's a mandatory 8 day wait on that as well since I haven't received it yet either... I think I'm going to contact a manager and ask for a new LO. I mean really... just want one who knows their job, and understands customer service. Is that too much to ask? I mean I'm gonna pay them (tens of) thousands of dollars over the next 30 years for the "privilege" of borrowing their other customer's savings.

I'd love to come for a visit. I'd be more than happy to eliminate some pigs too Maybe we can get those things done regardless. I understand you breed Lamanchas and I'd like to talk with you about buying from you. Maybe a bred doe, or a couple of kids next spring. or some of each...

So glad to hear from you, been missing you. If it weren't for bad luck, you'd have no luck at all. I hate that about your property line getting sprayed, that sucks. I guess I need to call my electric company.... Hope you get a new computer soon, sure miss you on here.

Glad to hear all is going "well" for you over there!

Don't worry about us on this side, we've got good will and boats!

Hope you get to get back on sooner than later!

Thanks for checking in
I really appreciate the fact that you checked in on me in particular
Remember what my signature line says from that great poet Ronnie Van Zant
"Troubles will come and they will pass"
I have always found that to be true

So very considerate thinking of us in Texas, and so greatly appreciated too! I didn't get all that much rain, so far, as East Texas. It has been cloudy and stormy off and on for almost a week. The rain is always welcomed and this storm brought cooler temperatures. Normally this time of year we are high 90's flirting with 100 or on wicked years we are in the 100's. Right now we're in the low to mid 80's.

Poor Louisiana just can't seem to get a break.

Glad to hear from you.

after I reread my post I really didn't mean to make it a witch fest, just been a weird spring and summer. I also dropped and broke my good camera but life goes on and when you look around you realize that you are truly blessed. God is constant thru it all. troubles come and go but life continues. garden this year has been a bust, just a few tomatoes and some cukes. I just replanted summer squash and peas for fall. maybe i'll get more than the squash bugs this late in the season. when the mower died I let the sheep in the yard to "mow". didn't want the goats in because they "eat everything", no one mentioned that sheep like rose bushes, dahlias, moss roses, garden phlox, honeyberry bushes, stevia, beans and peppers oh. life's lessons. I had to laugh.
took 27 rabbits on a trip to freezer camp from the last batch. am really pleased with the production white and palomino cross as well as the American chinchilla/palomino cross. they both grew like the preverbal weeds. only keeping three mamas and the buck and will breed them again when it is cooler. when its just you it doesn't take long to get covered up with bunnys. I love rabbit but honestly enough is enough. first two rabbits I took to the sale brought $23 and $16 respectively so I thought ok, good outlet, i'll take more. nope next two brought $2. each. not enough to bother with in time and trouble so freezer camp it is. and @Baymule remember how I liked having the big totes under the cages to catch the poo and piddle. worked like a charm until we had those big early summer rains and the totes blew full of water from the roof runoff. liquid cow pie consistently bunny poo is not easy to work with. imagine little old "fluffy" woman scooping liquid poo out with shovels into 5 gallon buckets. so totally gross. who knew so few rabbits could produce so much poop. garden tubs love it tho.
youall take care

So nice to hear from you!

I was so excited to see you had the opportunity to drop in.
I have missed you!
I think of you often and wonder how things are going, knowing you don't have a computer right now.

You are so right... ups and downs and everything in between... but God IS our constant.

I have wondered how the family is doing and the farm.

Going to pm you... don't know when you will see it but that's ok.

Miss you my friend!

Haha, I always just let the poo fall to the ground. The chickens kept it stirred up and ate the fly larva. Poo-Goo in a tub?

How do you cook your rabbit? Fried? Let's see, I used to have lots of recipes. I ground it up and made burger. Sometimes I ground bacon with it for the fat and made Bunny Burgers.
