Maddy is definitely done with surgeries, and doing great. She's having an issue with allergies, though. She's going through testing to determine what she's allergic to. Poor bit broke out in hives last month and we couldn't figure out why. The day it happened she had peanut butter for lunch and catfish for dinner. Two of her favorite foods. She'd had both before with no hives, so we're not sure what caused it. I guess the tests will tell.

Got a busy day today. Delivering ten hens and two roosters to a buyer. Then processing a hog for the freezer.

Yummy... hog for freezer.


Allergies...sucks.... hope it all works out.

I'm gonna have to cook a big ham overnight tonight...it wouldn't fit in the freezer. Darn.

maybe you will need to grow out smaller hogs

Our boar, Pumba is a Berkshire and the mamas are hampshire/Berkshire and hampshire/red wattle. Pumba weighs about 1000-1200 lbs. They are HUGE!

SCG.. you piece all of that together first right? I don't make these, I have only done the tie quilts. Just used the rack. My daughter just made a really cute one for my little sis that is mantally handicapped..soo, I got to watch her do some. She sent photos to me as she cut out the pieces, then sewed them together. Man, looks like a lot of work. I love that horse one! I love horses! I love the colors she chose!

Will find a photo of the quilt my daughter just made. I only wanted the squares. She offered to do other things, but I just wanted a very colorful but simple quilt. My sister loves color!!

Can't find one..will have to go get a photo from our messages. In the meantime, here is an afghan that she made for her for Christmas. Told you..she loves colors!

Well then, guess I'll have to take another photo of it. I just got a new phone, thought I had put all of the photos on my pc. :/

Just realized that one of my goats is due on Tuesday.... (knew it had to be soon...just looked it up)


She DOES NOT LOOK PREGNANT!!!!!


Kids tried to be positive...said maybe it is just one tiny one. Humpf.

I guess we will "feel her up" today and tomorrow... ..... and then keep our fingers crossed. Stupid seasonal breeding goats...if she isn't bred...that means no milk from her until Christmas at the earliest. Who wants kids at Christmas? I do NOT have a heated barn....can't even get the blasted doors to close all of the way. And dang will I be upset...feeding a non-producing animal......



Luckily the goat due the 20th is clearly pregnant...getting round....bagging up.....hurrah.

Me too. What's the use of having chickens if you can't talk to and enjoy others who love their flocks? People whose eyes don't glaze over when you try to tell them what hen is doing what.
