Oh how cute. I once had a brown and white one. I love skunks.

Well, I had a big long response to the education bull crap system... But I figured I best keep it to myself, so I deleted it. I don't want to be on the HIGH HORSE, podium, soap box...

Daron... She's is just adorable. I love baby cows.

very sweet, to bad they grow up!!

don't remember who was looking for ground cover and walk ons, just saw a cool pic and article in a garden mag. and they used moss, if you have shade and damp it would work well I think

BRRRRRRRR! Had to hook up a heat light in the chick coop. And still haven't finished the roof so we covered it with a tarp just in case it would leak. You can't tell...but there's about 50+ chicks in this picture LOL my big showgirl pullet on the left likes to play momma to the itty-bitty ones and then all cuddle up under her wings.

Snowflake - It was Mom2, I suggested moss, too, I think it looks really pretty in paths or as a groundcover. And it is such squishy happy good times under your toes. I wish I lived closer, I would throw her some.

Raz - It is soooo cute!! Now I really do want to come visit. Ducklings are pretty bloitin cute, but that little skunk...

RIRJen - That is one big chick pile!

Snowflake - thanks for the eggs! I have the clamp to that reptile lamp and I will get it to you.

Daron - glad Bella as plenty of milk! Glad there is enough for you and the calf! Glad you got a pretty girl calf!

RaZ - That is a stinkin cute Skunk!

Nova - Kendall sounds like a good fit for you! You are highly creative!

I haven't had a cigarette for a couple weeks. Staying busy no matter what that means doing.

The tiniest one is getting 4 molars in right now, so it has been a very rough couple weeks. I have had very, very little sleep, and next to no time without her in my arms. I even had her strapped to my back while shoveling woodchips, which was... well, just a lot of work. I am so tired, I hope this passes soon. I feel guilty to say it, because I know she is in pain, but it gets very difficult to remain sympathetic and patient after a couple weeks of no sleep with someone constantly clinging to you, screaming, and sobbing. I know she is not having fun, either, but logic doesn't really come into it... I am just plain stressed out, tired, frustrated, and possessing a very short fuse. These challenges are fleeting in the long run, but they sure seem to drag on forever while you are going through them.

I took the day off from being super productive. I only did normal domestic maintenance today, and brought the kids to Crazy Bounce until I was going to puke, pee my pants, or possibly both. Which was about 2 hours. Fun, though. Really tiring. It's basically a place packed full of all those giant blow up slides / bouncey things / ball pits / obstacle courses / etc. you get at fairs and such. It was a great distraction for everyone right now, especially because it rained all day.
