back at cha AP

Been quiet this week . . . got to real job , come home feed critters, milk goats, water plants, get supper, rest a few, go to bed so I can get up and do it all again tomorrow :/

It is definetly time to clip wings again because I was buzzed by one of my ducks a couple nights ago and a few days ago one of them couldn't make it over Cowboy and landed on Cowboys but and kinda slid off I found it very amusing, Cowboy however didn't think it was very funny.

Found out this morning that I didn't get the other job upstairs that I interviewed for - they promoted from with in so it's cool, but I just really would like a raise

Was gonna take some pics last night to update Stella's kidding thread, but it was raining maybe tonight

Sorry you didn't get the job . I hope you get a raise. I have been doing about the same. I am redoing the inside of my barn I will post pics tomorrow

Thanks AP - I figure God has a plan and I of course can't figure it out yet

I forgot the camera, but took a few pics with my cell phone so I updated Stella's kidding thread.

I believe my goose has decided to set a nest

I have a sickly looking meat bird I separated him with some food and water, will see what happens.

Checked the electric fence and it wasn't working so I had to walk the fence which I don't mind except the mosquitos just about toted me through the woods I hate mosquitos and I don't see any purpose for them other than to suck my blood. Found the short and fixed the fence.

After I ate supper I went out to check my raised beds and found a cute little black dog on the road. Telling him to go home in my listen up doggie voice, stomping at him neither worked He came to me and wanted to play Called up the road and found out where he lived and took him home.

Another busy day today, got lots accomplished. Went to town this morning got Easter basket stuff for the boys, picked up a few groceries. Washed a couple loads of clothes. We had some fence that had been rerouted and needed to come down - got it down. We had wood, tin and brick scattered - got most of that picked up, organized, and stacked

I took some pics - wish I had a picture of the mess before, you can see some of it

DH starting to stack the wood in its new home

Stacks and brush cleaned up

We had a lot of old wood that wasn't good for anything but the dump. It was windy so DH found a redneck burn barrel

DH controlling the burn

The goats were happy that we cut some small trees and limbs

Jake watched over them like a good boy

Found this really pretty catepillar

I have peas starting to come up

Youngest DS and I colored some eggs for tomorrow.

I am tired and sunrise service is gonna come early so I'm headed for bed.

Happy Easter ya'll. Hope you have a safe and blessed day.

Thanks Ya'll

So I'm at work about 3:30 this afternoon and my cellphone rings . . it's the oldest DS. I answer the phone and he says "hey Mom, what are the chances you would want some deer meat?" My first thought was they had hit a deer Someone (thankfully not my child) had hit a deer and broke its back legs. It was thrashing around in the ditch.

The oldest DS ended its suffering and they loaded it up in the truck. My brother helped them clean it. So now I have a cooler full of ice and deer meat to cut up and get in the freezer I love free meat

Got most of the meat cut up last night a lot will become burger because of being hit, but we like deer burger.

I need to rant . . . . .

For the first time in a long time I hate my job! There was a re-org and my current supervisor begged for me to come to his section. I can't figure out why because he doesn't have work for me to do . . . I spend 2 hours a day driving to/from work and most of the time I don't have anything to do so I sit here most of my day playing on the computer and thinking about my problems and what I could accomplish if I were home. I have begged for work, I have talked to his supervisor (not in a rat him out kinda way) and I am so fed up I want to quit. I make pretty good money to do nothing, but doing nothing is not my style. I'm so frustrated it ain't funny and there isn't a thing I can do about it!

Thanks for listening and Sorry - but I don't have anybody else to rant to :/

Its a problem you got there but a nice one in the current employment climate
Bet you get a sigh of relief as the car turns onto the final stretch of road home. I used to get that sigh so I went full time farmer
Now I'm happy and broke
