Alright, so we have been having some problems, mostly due to me being incredibly unorganized and self-sabotaging. So, today, on the way to clean out the chicken's water, and give them feed, I realized that hey, the scratch we use to help the chickens like us is essentially cracked corn. Hmmm. Goats LOVE corn. So we took some scratch down to the goats.
Now, Deer has been in the kennel for almost 2 weeks now, and every other day, I open the front, pitch it out, open the side, pitch it out, put in new in the back, then open the front, put in new and give her fresh water. Well, today, I get to the barn, and the kennel is standing open. I have to smile, because damn, they weren't kidding. Goats are smart. Anyway, she's limping around, so I need to talk to the vet about what we can do. The leg did not heal cleanly, so I need to figure out what to do next for her. In the meantime, we sat down on the ground with our leaves and water, and handfuls of scratch. Oh, yea, they LOVED it. They are still skittish around us, so we just sat, and talked while we held out our hands. YEA!! This is a major victory for us. They ate out of Ben's hand, too!!! I think he makes them nervous. Hey, it's just plain fun to chase the goats, alright?
Ack, I have to get...
Have a fabulous weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey- It's Sunday night, I just got home. You woke us up this morning, but only like 10 minutes before the alarm - we had to meet someone for breakfast. So, I still love you. :)
Maybe this is a journal, but I read it damn it! :)
Don't feel too bad about being overwhelmed... you are doing a lot on your own. You get done 10x what I get done in a day. I'd be pretty stinkin proud of myself, if I were you. {{{LORI}}}
