All is well

Things have been going well.

Many kidds have been place in pet homes and the Does are milking well with only two now had to be dried off. They are both single milkers and were having problems with their udders.

Lovely went to live on a farm in Vermont. The people kept asking what was wrong with her since she was priced to "sell". I told them the truth, that we wanted her to go to a home. That I encourage farming and Lovely will make a great family cow. They said the deal was too good to be true.

"Welcome to my vortex" I said and I'm sure they will call frequently to update her life. That is fine with me.

Now I will be forced to pick up the pony in Maine for my daughter. I told the person who owns the horse that if my daughter doesn't work with the horse or is frightened of it the horse will go home at the end of the summer.
Since I haven't heard back perhaps they don't like the conditions. At this point I am happy with one less mouth to feed.

We only have a handful of Does to kidd and on to start the gardening season.
Looking forward to grubby nails again.

I am going to have a meeting of "natural mom's of New London". People who are interested in raising their children closer to the earth. Well our farm is a good place to start.

I will have to ask Amy how to handle the whole project.

Second set of chickens and duck have arrived and all are doing well. I am going to purchase a plucker to make my life a bit easier. I so love being in debt. With any luck the birds of this year (in the hundreds) will pay it off.

Still working on the Farmers Market and what I will have available to sell.
Well there are always my children......
