A basement....I am sooooooooo jealous; but if I can't have it at least it is going to be used by a really nice family 
Congrats on the first part of your new home.

Thanks! It is moving along now. We have a very high water table so we are putting in perimeter drains outside and inside the basement walls along with two sump pumps in case one fails. We should be nice and dry and now, we have a place for kids to run around and play during the cold weather, storage, or a safe spot when storms come through.

School is out!! This was an incredibly hard year of teaching, probably amplified but the selling of our home/living with my parents/building a house. Summer is here!
The house is getting along nicely. Framed and sheeted and the roof is going on next week.
In animal news, we will be picking up several new bucklings next week. I am so excited I can barely stand it. Pictures will be coming

I am taking a quick break from packing to do coffee! I could not function without it. 
Started my day with a no call/no show who was supposed to pick up a rabbit. Super duper pet peeve of mine, especially when I made it clear that I had several errands I had to do and was setting aside the time for them. They will be going on my NO SALES list.
I have two more sales today--a batch of chickies and two ducks, and then possibly a sale of our two bucks. We studded our a few of our does to our senior buck so they kid in the fall but it is time for some new bloodlines. My kids are going to be upset, I just know it. My oldest loves our stinky fella to pieces. It is just part of the game though. The couple that are coming may end up taking him and our little Geronimo. I was going to keep him but even though he is very nice, I really don't need 7 bucks here at the moment. Maybe once the house and pasture are done.
We will leave early tomorrow for Ohio on our little family vacation and will come home with 3 (or 4) bucklings.
