@uchytil Here is the doe we purchased from you last year.
She gave birth to twin does but one was stillborn. There's not much of anything cuter than a healthy spry newborn goat kid.
She is an excellent producer of milk as well.

John has good looking Goats! And that goatlette is darling.

I saw robins yesterday. When I was a kid, we NEVER saw them this time of year.

Dreamz, what gives, lady! You're not supposed to be a poster child for side effects!

Well, it's a hard job and I guess it was my turn. Still swollen legs and I am done with the diuretic.

I had a few Robin's visiting on Wednesday. Yesterday it rained all day so everyone was inside. Today, everyone was outside for at least 4 hours. They all get so excited to be out especially the quackies.

We lost another Chantie hen Tuesday, found her dead and partially eaten, probably by a hawk. One of our younger birds, of course. I think likely that Cooper's hawk who killed another Chantie hen about a month ago. Birds all locked in AGAIN, for weeks.
Our new dog Taylor is getting better, finally, and plan to have him done with leash walking in another week or two. I'm over it! He will need to learn the IF boundaries, haven't started training him for that yet either. Plan to Xray his chest next week, and rerun labs. He's not actually 'healthy' yet...

Sorry to hear that Mrs Mary. I guess my girls are divinely protected because they were all outside today while working on putting wood posts around the garden. They retire early,lol so I am inside too.

Today got up and all numbers were off again and still swollen ankles. So, gave it all to God and went about business like normal. Went to HD, got wood and began putting posts around the garden. Italian parsley and oregano are still alive after the snow melt,lol The gathered some tables and laid them with cells and all the seeds. Trying to be ready this season,lol

Sometimes my feet get swollen, so I make this drink. It really makes me pee and takes away the swollen feet.
I don't know if it will work the same for you, but you could try it.

1 quart water
1 Tablespoon raw honey
2 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 Tablespoon lemon juice, it can be a lemon juiced or the lemon juice concentrate.
If this recipe doesn't seem strong enough in flavor you can always add more of each to your quart.

I hardly ever make just one quart. I usually make a gallon and drink all of it in a day, plus water as well.

Thank you Mr. Troyer. Will et ingredients tomorrow. Best to Mrs. Edna.

Wish I'd had that recipe a couple years ago. I'm going to file it away for future use. Thanks!
