The First Hour of My Morning
|
The first hour of my day was like this- our oldest son goes to the barn to feed the goats and announces that one of our does is in heat, he thinks. I send him back out to look a little closer at the doe. He comes running back in to tell me what he sees. I won't go into detail here, but the way he described it from a nine year old's viewpoint did not sound like she was in heat!!! So, I quickly put my boots on and left my four youngest to read stories with the baby in his crib. I get to the barn and discover that yes, the doe is in heat. Immediately, my son asks if we are going to put her in with Laser, our buck. Then in about the same breath he tells me that he has dumped all the water buckets/troughs and now realizes the hose is frozen!!! NO WATER!!! We don't have water in our barn and use a hose run from the house. This hose freezes when it is cold and we had frost last night! So, there we sit without any water for the goats and horses! Then I glance over at the horses and see that Buddy, our Tennessee Walker, has decided to kick the wall between him and Hershey, our Appaloosa/Paint half over. He literally had kicked the wall off the outside walls into Hershey's stall!!! The wall was only hanging by one side!!! So, there begins my day!!! A doe in heat, no water, and a wall kicked into another stall!!! Now I need to go in a cook breakfast and do some table time! |
