Just another blog in bloggity blog land.


So yeah, I'm going to do my very bestest to keep up with my blogs. :)

Yesterday evening we trimmed the little turkey's wings. Might I add the little tom needs an attitude adjustment! True story. He hissed at us and puffed his little feathers all up. I must make it a point to handle him every chance I get b/c I don't want him doing that when he is full grown. Mean little devil. They are growing like weeds in a fertile garden! Plus, little V's chicken whom she is yet to name (surprised it's not Chica b/c everything is Chica or Blanca baby). I'm ready to put them in the chicken tractor but this odd cold snap is preventing that. We are due to get a set of 10 turkeys next week sometime. :) Super excited! We plan to enclose a stall in chicken wire for them. Did I mention how much I hate the smell of poultry manure? Well I really hate/dislike that smell. Any manure for that matter but poultry manure is the most hated/disliked! I'll deal with for the sake of fertilizer though. ;) Crazy how much the sense of smell changes when you work around smelly animals. I can no longer tell if I smell like poo! Not funny btw.

This weather has the goats acting like goof balls. I tell ya the truth goats trip me out! I love them. Like I mentioned previous blog some days I dread going out to the farm but once I'm there in my routine I'm glad I came. The farm is a place I can surprisingly relax, not physically relax but mentally relax. I love petting the goats and loving on them even if they arent having it that day..I'm like Elvira I do it anyways..I think the goats expect it from me now b/c they all flock when I'm petting one! It's hard not to pet them all. There is not enough time in a day for all that now. I do have my favorites, but as new goats start milking I usually get a new favorite everyday. Before long they will all be my favorites. I'm a sucker what can I say?!

Well I plan to work all day at the farm Monday. Hopefully I'll have something to blog about. I really hope I don't see any large spiders or snakes :( Until then I'm 'Knee Deep In'.
