Only for a little bit longer. As soon as the townsend house goes...
It was nice hearing the hay guy I was working with talk about running his 24/7 farm stand on the honor system and when my mom asked about theft (she works at hardware stores) he said theft of food is between them and the guy upstairs. And if they need food, then he's happy to help...Yeah, different world. I've missed it. (not everyone is that way, but it's more common)
I'm excited to sell this house and be done with up here and go back down there. I'm so blessed to be able to move back at all and have my family happy and in the "getting there" of being in good shape again.

Everything looks great.

I’m so happy for you!

Bailey, Mr. Tank, and the goats left today with Blarney Heights transport. We took down the water buckets and electric goat fence. Three ducks left yesterday. The other three are going tomorrow night. Tomorrow the hired movers start. Baby has a cold so I was dead on my feet from the time I woke up for the last time and got up, but things are rolling. Tomorrow I clean the last two freezers. One was just a bonus that came with the house that we don't use much, the other is my precious chest freezer. The normal food goes to the in laws over by Boston. Any how, I'm in splatty shape and we're trying not to make dishes, so it's the start of probably a week of "eating out" as we travel out of here. Eating out sometimes means going to the grocery store and getting a pre made salad or cooked dinner, not just fast food for me, so yeah.

...Good night. Hopefully tonight I have better luck with sleep. Bad at being decisive or proactive when very tired.


I'm going to miss my ducks and I already miss my goats and cloud puppy.

It has begun. It won’t be long and you and family will be in your new home.

The goats and Bailey arrived safely and were received by my mother who is taking good care of them. Stay tuned to find out if WE get out of there as the well connected yet dumb as rocks with no boundaries neighbors or empathy call the police who declare the strip in front of our house a new no parking zone to us only so our moving truck has no where to park (and the driver does not feel comfortable turning down our narrowish driveway with his truck even if it is a loop). Pouring rain and wind at the time. I think I'd rather not talk about this too much and just try to let it become a distant memory. I wonder how else they are going to kick us on the way out today.

But the beasties are safe.

Our 6 and 8 year old got their first vaccines yesterday in preparation for a new school. No side effects this round. They are just as high energy and crazy annoying as before. The mRNA will be broken down and out of their system in 5 days at the latest if my memory of basic cellular biology holds. Man, if that messenger RNA could pass the message onto one of them to simmer down while in inside spaces...I haven't pulled it off yet

Escape. Run. Run far far away from this place. A real home awaits.

who declare the strip in front of our house a new no parking zone to us only

That just seems illegal on the part of the police.

That is ridiculous. OK, tell the driver to park in front of the @ssh01es' property instead.

You would be rich if you could figure that one out!!

Zoom in to see racing dogs on a "potty" break.

Yesterday we got here. The movers unloaded and now we have lots of work to do.

Townsend house is ready to list.

Today I pounded in a quick breeding pen for the open and in doubt dwarf and mini does and put the buck I have that is out of Dawnland Little Bee and by AMETHYST ACRES BELLE-FIORELLO (which is copy pasted because I can never remember the spelling). I'd like them to stay there for a good while.

Anyway, talk to you later. I've got a "husband sized" house to put in order and a me sized property to think about.

Someone's dogs look very happy at the new house!
