Pearce Pastures: Where did I go?

Oh Pearce....I have to comment on HOW AWESOME it is that Santa left tracks in the snow! Oh man! That is SOOOOO cool! (Gus was up at 2 Am barking at Santa....but he didn't leave any tracks!)
That's SOOO much better than the Christmas I woke up and ran into mom and dad's bedroom all worried that Santa had stolen our silverware! I'd heard the drawer opening and closing while my mom was putting the dishes away...and in my little mind, Santa was possibly stealing our silverware (not even the "good" stuff!). I'm a WEIRD one...what can i say.....

Oh Pearce, your story about Santa leaving the tracks just about made me cry with excitement! It gave me a flash from my childhood of the mystique surrounding Santa's arrival. I bet your kids were besides themselves!
Congrats on your LGD puppy, too!

Aww, didn't mean to make you cry. I get really nostalgic this time of year too and watching my kids get all excited, especially over the gifts they made for each others, really makes me teary.Bridgemoof said:

Well, I will be starting to learn to to my own fecals now. Mom gave me microscope, a basic but nice one, that she has had for some time now but doesn't use. I need to get some slides and other supplies, and will probably ask my vet to show me a few things. He is great about teaching us to do things so I am sure he will be glad to do it.
The goats and the kids played in the snow yesterday, and I had to grab my camera. The older does kind of wandered about, while my kids made snowballs, but Din Din, who is very much a kid still, got into the action, running out happily as my kids pelleted each other and him with snowballs. I swear he was grinning. Funny, though, I am not feeling bad at all anymore that he is going into the freezer. I think maybe it is just that I told myself early on and often to not get attached. He is really starting to build some thickness to him and looks longer, if that makes any sense. My uncle is in town and said if I wanted to ever learn how to butcher a goat myself, he would show me how. We will see how it goes with the meat this first time and I will think about it.
I put all the decorations today from Christmas and put the house back together. I love this time of year but it also feels good to have my living room back. Maybe I will use the space to start working out again, LOL. All the goodies are getting to me and after awhile, it doesn't even taste that good. Pass me a salad please.

Pearce... remember all those windows I was dying to have???? Well 
a neighbor that knows a neighbor and so on talked to the people up the road that have a stack of old windows up against and old mini-barn. I was outside working on one of the walls for another shelter when a truck pulled up and this man gets out and introduces himself and said we could have those windows! :bun :bun :bun
I am serious about some windows now! He stayed for a long time...reminiscing of days gone by!
This kinda thing happens often here, usually when we are working and trying to get something done :/ BUT we always love it!
I guess I should have put this on my journal.. but I wanted to let you know I finally got some windows!

That is great! Got plans for them already? I have put some of the ones I wanted to get rid of to work in our poultry barn and think I might just hang onto the rest for redoing some in our main barn. Free is so nice
