No more danger tree either.

Going to Florida would be fun. I think I'll have to stick to a closet for now though. I need to help drive to Pennsylvania.

You're probably sick of hearing it by now, but I hope you're recovering okay. Last eye surgery DH had sucked not to mince words, and it was a fairly minor one. I'd bring you dinner and do your chores if I could. Last thing you probably need is stuff to do for the next few days (until it starts to make you crazy, then nice, grounding worries are good).

Oh, mine sucked the juice right outta my eyeball...no need to mince words with me , lol....there are worse surgeries to have, like my next one...total labodamy...should be a quick procedure !
First thing I did was to give Piper a bottle...and that was awesome, all the goats came up and diped their heads to my level and check out the eye bandage ....they were soooo sweet, and the cat and dogs were trying to babysit me...that did not work well at all, lol...have a safe trip and try to enjoy the outlaws and their offspring.... ;)we got em here too, but I have them trained to keep a safe distance from the me;):old
 
Got our last hay delivery for the winter. A few bales split so they got mounded in a pile in the extra space in the loft, and now I am down two guard dogs who refuse to come off their hay nests. Clearly they are broody. I'd take pictures, but I am too sore to climb any more stairs. Before the split bales got mounded Bailey was obsessed with it and wouldn't pull her face out of it while I wheeled it out of the garage. I think she wants to change her name to (Queen) Bale-ley. It smells like candy, and it is her kingdom. Then Badger wised up and he got some kingdom too, much to her royal highness's annoyance.

The kids are also sore and the older one has already dropped for the night. DH came home late, so they spent an hour or two jumping around the bale stacks in the stuffed loft and hanging off the rafters while I moved hay from garage. Healthy little kids.

More chicken free ranging today. The rooster is going to get himself killed. He flew out of the yard on his own this evening and ran around the woods like a dummy, not able to figure out how to fly back into the fence(???), cocky as you please, until I herded his smug, hysterical self back through the gate. He can fly like a songbird, but doesn't seem to have the brains. We are drawing in more raptors than I realized we had, so the chance of him getting killed outside of the dogs' protection is fairly high. (One of these days I hope to write about the dogs terminating one of them. ) Also, coyotes are out as usual (but I'm not worried about it now, because we have our compound) and would probably love a rooster snack. Goofy rooster's going to make Mr. Baby Teddy the winkie silkie king of the chicken coop via taking himself out. Rooster politics are sure amusing. I don't even think the silkie could handle those fourteen(ish) feisty, flighty hens.

Tomorrow after the older kid comes home from a half day we leave for vacation. I'm almost ready. Life is good.

If it were Bailey, she'd listen to verbal corrections. She's great. Badger the puppy is the kid eater. He's been a giant 45 lbs biting mouth lately(darn puppies) I'm hoping he'll grow out of it as we're consistent. If he doesn't soon, i may consider a shock collar for long distance corrections. That's a good idea. He'd like it better than the "cool down tether".
