Tomorrow is Back to the Grind Stone but Today it is About Reminiscing

     We go back to school tomorrow to get ready for the students on Friday. Oh how I wish that day would not come. I have so much to do on the farm and it is just mid-summer.  The things I need done can’t get done on their own now. I still need to get this house in order. Glad we have one end of our build started. Now if we can just move on and just get it all done. 

     I sat with all my babies for a long time watching them eat. Jacob and I have become close. He is the sweetest goat I have had since Marshmallow, Moonglow and Cinnamon. They were my first babies from Dolly and they were triplets. I miss them. We spent hours together when they were still here. I hope I have some more kids to fill in the gap. I wonder how Dolly and Calico are these days and if they ever had any more babies. She had 8 kids when she was here.

      I will have to get a new pen ready for Jacob here soon, he and Chloe are still not warming up to one another. She loves to butt heads with him.

I have been collecting eggs for a week or so now and today the girls got them back. I hope that one of my hens sit on them. I could use to have some birds come spring for meat. I may have a Rhode Island Rooster coming. Our friend has found he ended up with one and he doesn't
want him. This means one more pen will have to be done up for them too. I want to keep my heritage birds all separate as one breed so I have true birds. I really need two more hen pens and one goat pen. I still need to move a rabbit hutch closer to the house too. See there are a lot of things I need to do and the house project is the biggest one yet. My garden gets worked on too. I guess I better ask God for the strength to get it all done on top of going back to school.
