Transplanted City Girl

• Thursday, April 27, 2006 - It's warm again!

Well, I guess I'm a little overdue for another update.  We had a wonderful weekend, and Chris got my milking bench built so I can now milk while sitting down!  He built it right into the ground next to the milking stand so that it won't fall over if I have to kick a goat or two.

We sold one of our little does yesterday: I think we are going to keep the last one.  Now we just have to get rid of the wethers, all but Sprout that is.  I still maintain hopes of keeping him.  He gets cuter and bigger every day, I just love watching him grow.  I have some pictures of him and the other little ones posted in my online photo album.  Speaking of the photo album, I also managed to get a few pictures of the crib my wonderful husband made from pallets.  I am so proud of it, it is super-duper sturdy.

The weather has warmed up a lot, and I think I'm going to get my marigold bed planted today.  This weekend we're planning on setting out a few of the seeds when we get back from our midwife appointment.  I am really enjoying the warmth, that is for sure!

Other then that, I haven't been doing much outside of the ordinary.  Still not sure on the babysitting jobs, and haven't even caught a glimpse of the goose this past week.   No clue what he's up to, I guess he's hiding out in shame that he was bested by a woman or something.  hehehehe.  But anyway.  Just working in my garden, cleaning up after my little animals, waiting for the cow to drop her calf, and trying to get each day's necessary work into something slightly resembling a schedule before the baby gets here.

That's all I can think of at the moment, if I remeber any more breaking news I will be sure to include it.  Until next time...
