The persimmons are turning orange.Okay, it is finally happened. I am so far behind it will now be impossible for me to catch up, much less ever win the race. What race, you say? You name it and I will be behind on it.
Mark and the big boys got the goat fence finished while I was gone on my trip. The gate looks good and we are getting closer to having the goat shed/barn completed. Well, Mark is. My contribution is to go up and look at it. I am so helpful that way. I did stand out in the pasture and measure fence row stuff with him yesterday. I was very helpful as the person who held the end of the measuring tape.
Matt caught this large reptile thing out back. He and James had fun playing around with it. It has been safely released into its natural backyard habitat. My house has all it can hold with unnatural habitats. I officially reached my limit Friday when Matt purchased six fish for his room. No more! cries MamaHen.
Mark had the unfortunate responsiblity of getting rid of four roosters. We had stopped getting eggs and the chickens were beginning to look a little, well, unseemingly. Four roosters are three too many and we just decided to get rid of all of them. The girls must be starting to relax a little bit because this morning we got three huge brown eggs. Its about time because last week I had to buy eggs at the store. I haven't had to do that for a long time.
Now for the little giveaway... I have a package of 12 blank notecards designed by an Amish lady in Lancaster. We stopped at her house where she and her husband have a store behind their house. The cards are so pretty and I really think you will enjoy them. Also included is a bar of Misty Creek Goat Milk Soap. I think I may have a slight obsession with goat soap now. I guess I want to spread the obsession around.
To enter, just leave me a comment telling me a happening that is going on at your house. I 'll draw a winner on Friday!
****Today I am linking up at Raising Homemakers.
The winner of the giveaway is Sarah!
