Life was quiet on the farm this week. Preston was here from Weds afternoon until this morning and he kept me busy, first with being sick and then with all the energy he needed to burn off after he got well!
The rams are busy breeding the ewes as they come in season. I can see them from the window by my computer and make a note of who is being bred by whom with a pop up calendar reminder set for their due date. Its going to be a very very busy January lambing season this year! I'll be praying for a mild January!
The goats have settled nicely back into a twice a day milking pattern. I LOVE my milk machine. It makes milking soo much faster and easier! I still need to get the little goat house cleaned out so that I can start seperating the mini togg kids and get their mom trained to the milk stand. I had hoped to get that done today, but it just didn't happen!
With all the rain we've had lately my pastures are still green and lush and my horses are fat and shiny. Not a bit of winter coat to be seen out there yet! My garden is totally confused. Its not cold enough for it to die..but not warm enough for it to really grow either sigh. Its been a weird year for growing things thats for sure!
