They are starting to grow feathers on their cheeks and the younger, at the front of the photo, looks like it's going to have the pearl pattern (I think).

Feathers soon!

That's NZD, which converts to $8,646 USD with todays exchange rate. There's one person that has recently started importing them which is why they are so expensive. Maybe one day the price will come down, but I just love the Nubians. Thankfully they are a lot more common here!

Import a few breeding pairs, sell the offspring for $2K. You''l make a ton of money and the other guy will have to bring his prices down to "still stupid high" (your price).

morning everyone48*, thank goodness husband has his pellet stove going, i know, i know, if i was in pa that would seem like a heat wave

Those temp swings can do it to you. 22°F seems pretty warm when its been down near 0 or lower for weeks. 2 days in the mid 40's and 22° feels really cold!

Oh, and Debby. I just learned last night that they are closing the Proud Cut down.

They can't do that to you!!!!

Seems like we still have a ton of stuff to do and time is getting tight. I think DH & I are both looking forward to being finished.

Yep when there is that much to get done especially on a time line, it wears thin.

How's the DD liking NS Bruce? Is she doing well?

Well, she's not QUITE in N.S. you have to go another 10 km east to get there
She's doing OK, swapped out one class early on. Figured it would be good to know something about "Canadian History" but the teacher passed out NO notes and there was no book. The students were supposed to listen to her talk (if they could hear her). We pick he up on April 18th.

Nope, not living in it yet.

I think you made a good decision on those floors, they look nice even through the plastic, they'll look fantastic when they have been urethaned.

Eta: one of the reasons I want partridge chanteclers is that they are great brooders.

That's what I DIDN'T like about mine! They were decent layers WHEN they weren't broody. No rooster, no reason to glue their tail feathers in a nest box. Other than that they were nice birds, friendly enough, not flighty.

So, I'm back in retail, working in the yard at a hardware store.

No more cooking??

So i want a small shelter out there for them.

I know who you DON'T want to build it. Break DH's fingers if he tries to call Larry, Darryl and Darryl

If I can get my drug test scheduled for sometime this week, guess I'll start the 25th. I could use the pay check and he is in desperate need of someone on site to get things started up for the season.

P.S. Don't want anyone getting the wrong idea about the test...everyone has to have one. I do NOT have a problem

Get you working so he can keep on the house!!
I guess you are the one out of 5 that don't have a drug problem? Seems like from what you've said in the past there aren't a whole lot of "clean" people to hire up your way.

Our first drink of our very own water!

Careful, you might get used to the common luxuries of modern life

First days are rough. Hopefully things will smooth out. Hang in there for a little bit to see if it gets any better.

Yeah, "read" the first 3 chapters before you decide the "book" is no good. I sure hope it works out but if not, you gave it a shot and will find something more suitable.

Hi all! Today sucked! I cannot say anything good about it. Talk about getting thrown right into the fire. I don’t think this will be the job for me. It is most definitely not how it was when I went to school. I don’t want to write a book so I’ll just leave it at that.

Sorry DMC.

I will be building the goat shelter myself.

Cool! And in fancy glasses no less!

So sorry DMC Give it a bit more time and see if it doesn't get better.

That's the idea anyway...me at the golf course and him on the house. He likes to micromanage so we'll see how that works out.

I think drinking is a bigger problem here, although there are plenty of drugs to go around too. They ought to do alcohol testing and drug testing...that would sure put a dent in the job pool.

and I know you will do a beautiful job, as always

You're getting there a little at a time...

Good morning all and thank you I will do my best. I was told to come 15 minutes early and noone there to help me. The Special Education teacher gave me the wrong lunch time and one of the teachers missed his lunch due to that to help me. The whole day was kind of like that. Hopefully today is better. Have a good day all.
