We take the easy way out for taxes and have an accountant do them for us but we try to make it easy on them and give them an itemized ledger.

We will be escaping the cold and snow here come Christmas time. We'll be in your state, but in San Francisco.

I don't make many pies. I don't mind touching dead bodies or dead vegetables but touching dead fruit just gives me the heebiejeebies.

Dead fruit makes jam and jelly!
Rolling Acres: Come down for a visit! It is only 500 + miles. Less than 7 hours drive, and good freeways. Most of the way on the 5 so not much traffic.

Mike CHS: We use an accountant too, with all the changes in the law and also some investment properties. However, I have to get all the stuff together for him first. He sends us a list of what he will need and I pull everything out of my receipts, compare to checkbook stubs, etc. and type it up. I always did it before when DH dis our taxes and this way I make sure we don't forget tiniest little deduction. 
I hate giving the government money.

Don't we all!I hate giving the government money.
I was just looking at my annual bonus check and comparing it to last year's bonus (because someone mentioned that it's less so I had to compare)...My net pay this year is less than last year's net, even though the gross for this year is more. Not happy!

Weighed the lambs -
Dorper single ewe at 2 weeks of age weighs 17.8 lbs, which is a 5.3 lb. in 10 days from 12.5 at 5 days old.
Dorper X Dorset ram lamb birth weight after nursing is 9.9 lbs.
Dorper X Dorset ewe lamb birth weight after nursing is 12.3 lb.
The ewe is a lot larger than the ram lamb. They are both larger than the single born to the smaller Dorper ewe. However, the Dorper ewe is a first freshener while the Dorset ewe is larger an older. This is her 3rd set of lambs so I would expect them to be larger. In a few weeks, when I have more weights and the lambs in a creep, I will be better able to compare the rate of gain.
All are large healthy lambs and nursing well.
After earlier good behavior, Bubba went back to being a butthead while we were in the barn.
More training is needed.
