It's pretty decent outside. It's been much warmer, a ton of rain, a little flooding and everything is a muddy mess. I finally got some seed started. Just a dozen cherry tomatoes. The big toms will get started tomorrow while I'm off work. I'll probably make 3 or 4 batches of soap with all the goats milk I have in the fridge.
Baby goat is currently working on gifting me with a kid and Goober cow is still in her holding pattern. Got a call last night while I was at work, Daisy cow had her calf. I sold her a couple weeks ago to pay the past due on the LP bill. I just owed way too much money and it's been hanging over me for more than a year. I was never going to get it paid off with $30 a paycheck. The late fee was more than that! So, I did what I had to do and sold one of my herd. Actually, sold 3 of my herd! Daisy, her unborn calf and the bull. Yep, I owed the LP company that much money! Anyway, Daisy had a heifer calf. No problems, both Momma and the calf are good last time I heard. Hope to see some pictures soon.
I've finished 5 throw blankets so far this year, all 3x5 (mostly 40x65) and I've got a few bird houses in the works. Extra things to offer on the market table along with the soap and the fruits and veges. I also got a promotion at work and a small raise.
On the downside- my new farm tenant is turning out to be a fruit loop. Lots of big promises, no follow thru. Story of my life tho, I always seem to find the winners.
Eh, time to head for the off farm job!
