Jumping the Moon Dairy - the next chapter

Funny that you mention arguing, lol. Whenever DH is on the tractor I get nervous, he drops a whole bunch of IQ points and invariably there are "words". I swear I wasn't being mean to him- but asking him to "watch out" right before he ran the FEL into the side if my new barn should make him watch out- right? Instead he turns around and tells me he's being careful- right before the Big Bang. Geeze! But- the last time he moved a round bale we didn't argue at all. It's a miracle!

Us men like to make simple jobs into a complicated thing but we know who are the true heroes.

I am so lucky. My DH is actually really fantastic with tractors, skidders, 4 wheelers, anything with an engine.

Put a FEL on the Deere and the box scraper on her back end and she can get pretty wild; can't take my eyes off of her for a second. I told DH that I want a mirror on her as my old arthritic neck complains about the constantly watching over my shoulder. He said "no".

@frustratedearthmother I did something similar with my car when I was a teenager. Got in a fight with my mom and as I was leaving she said "don't forget that your brother's car is parked in the driveway" (he was visiting). I yelled back " I know", as I backed into his car.

Good job on moving the building. Even better that ya'll did it without a fight. I worked in machine shops and welding shops when I was younger and received the benefit of intensive safety training. DH hasn't the foggiest idea of safety..........

My DH is a Fire and Life Safety Officer, before that he was a Fire Marshal and before that a Fire Engine Operator. Safety is his middle name, almost too a fault at times. But there have been some near misses with the tractor. You are concentrating on one end and forget about the other.

The back bumper on DH's truck has deep dents in it from backing into things. The only light pole in the hospital parking lot--yup--he nailed it, along with other objects that he has found the hard way.

Thought I would share a couple of pictures. This is Mia, she is my "one year old and finally grew up" LGD. She is turning out to be a great dog but the first 8 months were rough. She loves the goats and doesn't want to be far from them.

This is my new girl, Alondra. She and Mia are becoming very good friends which is exactly what I wanted. They play quite a bit and Mia is still all mouth, but Alondra is giving it right back to her. At first she was pretty intimidated by Mia but things are going much better this week. However, poor Alondra has managed to hit the electric fence every time she has been in the field with the goats and now she is terrified to leave the barn. Next week (when it quits raining) I will take her out in the field with a leash on to keep her away from the hot wire; she has to figure out that it is a good place.

And here are some of the "ladies in waiting". Take note of the Cou Clair (black and white) doe standing in the foreground showing us her very obvious baby bump...she is not due until 4/3 ...Oh Oh.

Mia is looking quite grown up! And, Alondra is just precious!

Mia's face is gorgeous!
Alondra

Ummm you sure she is 1 month bred?
