From Town to Country: A Wife's Tale

• Monday, May 5, 2008 - Busy Monday

Posted in Farm

Our new boys are doing great and were getting along with Sunny pretty good.. UNTIL.. Rich got the idea to put Blacky into to pasture with Sunny.  Well, Sunny thought it was a great idea so he could go back to hanging out with Jumper and the gang.  Blacky didn't think much of the idea and blasted through the fence.  Poor Rich, so he went sheep chasing for a bit.  He got Blacky rounded up and back in the pen with Buckwheat and Snowman.  Blacky much appreciated it.

I ran errands today.  Sunny got clipped yesterday during his trim job so I picked up some stuff to spray on that along with a few other things.

Our halters arrived today for the llamas.  Madison needs to start training Dolly if she's going to be ready by fair time.  Now the trick is to catch Dolly and get the halter on her without her freaky out.  Sounds like a challenge doesn't it?  LOL  We'll see how that goes.

No new baby goats yet as Jackie contiues to get larger and larger.  Hopefuly soon.  At least its warm now so I don't have to wrry about babies freezing to death.

I'm off to work.  Good Night!

About Me

We've been working on the family farm for 3 years trying to get it back to a working farm. The farm was neglected for 15+ years before we took it on. The summer of 2008 is our family's first experience living in the country, so began our journey from town to country...
