Rainy Day Reprieve

The last couple weeks have went by in a whirlwind of activity! It started out slowly when DH first got home but as the weather decided (finally!) to become springlike, every day got busier and busier. Some of the more noteworthy accomplishments:

Three more goat babies were born! These two little girls came first. The lighter one sold at auction last week. The darker one took longer to get onto a bottle so she went to a private buyer this week. The third one is a little boy who we plan to wether and keep.

 DH and DS1 got the cover for my "milking parlor" installed! Now I don't have to milk in the rain! Milking has begun in earnest- kicking the bucket and all.

They also got a little more done on the kitchen remodel! The window is now replaced and I can see my backyard for the first time since we moved into this house 18 years ago!

We got an order of chicks in from Tractor Supply. More than half of them didn't survive the first day so they sent us a second shipment at no cost to us.

 I found a healthy looking gooseberry bush and DH planted it for me. We chose a spot that is hard to reach with the mower so that's a double blessing!

I looked everywhere I could think of to get a reasonable price on Royal Palm turkey eggs. Can you believe I found them on ebay? And I won!

The grand baby came to visit a few times. We've rediscovered Veggie Tales!

The lettuce beds have started sprouting up. We will be harvesting our own salads before long!

DH got his helper suited up and worked in the bee hives.

And now it's raining. DH is spending the day tinkering on the lawn mower in his workshop. DS1 has closed on his own home and is getting it ready to move into. And I'm sitting with my feet up, trying to mentally organize the next few days' activities. Shew!
