Lightening, you cant paste an entire article as they are protected by copy right. You can post the first few sentences with a link to the site for people to keep reading though.

I have three geese going to TX, they wont ship until October, it is just not safe before then. You have time to finish up that goose house.


Sue congrats on the rain.

Small-Scale Silage
Your Yard Can Be Your Field
​

Is it possible to make silage in large plastic garbage bags? I see farmers with these long plastic bags that they are putting silage in, so it seems we should be able to do this on a small scale. Also, can we use the grass that is cut out of the yard and does it need to have grain in it?

Yes, you can bag yard clippings and use it as winter silage.

I'm going to give it a try!

OH on a side note ......... we have RAIN

Isaac made it this far north with some rain left ( hard to beleive after all he dumped on Mrs Magoo, Celtic and others)

Excellent news, Paulla!! We are getting much needed rain here too last night/today!! Maybe the worst of summer is behind us??

No rain here. NO rain. NO RAIN.

We are right on the edge of possible rain, wall we're getting is clouds. So, now you have to excuse me why I go enjoy some mixed drinnks.

Blind Girl (BG) showed me a whole new level of trust tonight.

I have a very set routine that she can rely on, which includes evening feeding time. When done filling bowls, I will walk to gate with Spirit and Ember running after me. Then I squat down and chat/hang with them for 5-10 minutes while they nibble on my hair, clothes, bucket. Each day both Gimpy and BG creep closer with curiosity. Tonight, for the first time, BG chatted with me and then nibbled on me, brushing up against me. She did this for quite a while too, as relaxed and playful as Spirit and Ember. She is such an awesome girl!!

Glad to know she can appreciate a good suggestion when she hears one. Spirit no doubt has given her the lowdown on you sensitive nature and giving heart.
