Here we go again. One of our mamas that we deemed not pregnant surprised us on Sat. Yes, she had a little baby boy. Thankfully he is a healthy little brute.
We lost 2 goats this week past. One sick older one and one of our little baby boys. He was partially bottle fed and soooo cuddly and adorable.
Andrew (Rachel's boyfriend) found an injured baby hawk and he put it in our barn. We've left the pen door open a couple times, but the darn thing won't leave, so either he likes the smorgusboard of mice in our barn or he really is so injured that he can't leave. Here he is.
We've lost 4 chicks out of our 52--This is what they looked like at 5 days old.
Now they are looking like this at 12 days.
I'm still quite nervous about raising chickens so I hope it goes well. If it does, I may have the nerve to do turkeys as well next year.
I usually do my laundry on Monday so of course that is what my second chore of the day was.. Gorgeous day too.. warm and sunny.. I hung the 2 loads of laundry and sure enough, thunder and rain. Now they are on there until tomorrow if it doesn't rain again.
I'm hoping to be refreshed somewhat tomorrow so I can get back into crafting a bit. I've had company for a week, plus trying to recover from my surgery so I haven't been doing much of anything. Now I have a book to finish for my book club meeting and I need to get caught up on my stitching and quilting. More company is expected on the Canada Day weekend as well as the arrival of Brad's mom, niece and nephew. So I have less then 3 weeks to get things done before they are all at a stand still again. I think my life is so boring, but I guess in reality it isn't. It just isn't life like on tv.
Well time to change my clothes for chores again. See you all next time.
