Its finally all done, the farm is still very much the farm but the things that had been getting pushed back and NEEDED to be done, all done now! Awesome.. the grow out rabbits are butchered out, the does to be breed and going to their new homes at Farmer T’s are now, The rabbit hutches are all cleaned out and ready for winter, and we are down to just one grow out pen away from being done, back down to my regular number of does and my buck! no more grow out pens/crates.
the whole one section of fence has been replaced and rebarbwired, Miss Gilt has gone to her new home, the sheep are done, the lambs are tagged and went today to the butcher, and will be in freezer camp and off to their new buyers homes starting after pickup next weekend, the ewe’s have had all their pre-natal care done, and are ready to go on to being fat and sassy momma’s.
The ferrier has come this in this past week and sam got his second foot trimming and is doing well, like I promised, no riding at all till we got the lists done. Garbage bags of things have been taken out, this week a small load of scrap metal will be heading of the farm so that it will be gone before the snow flies.
The house has gotten this and that and all kinds of things done to it, I had a full day off the farm during the week, where I went to a dear friends and taught soap making, in total six different batches were made up and will be come some much adored xmas presents for folks
A dear friend was having a very very rough week and many prayers and time was spent on doing our very best in a number of ways to help as much as we could.. my momma always said, look after yourself, then your family, then your friends, then your community and if we all did that, we would be so much better off for it.
On the diet front, I have done very well this week in terms of keeping to my rules but it was a much slower week on lose, I only went down 2.6 pounds, but a lot of that was because of no riding! for the horses, been taking a bit of extra care in sleeping, trying and getting more solid sleep, a for sure side effect to the changes being made in the food lifestyle. My hormones are all over the place and its having a effect on a number of things, I guess that is because all the herbs and meds I am on!
Picked up Duck the halls, one of the best Xmas cd’s I have heard for a long time. highly recommend it!
Last but not least, I missed you all!!!! and so glad to be back!
Just another Day on the Farm 
Welcome back! So excited for lamb next week!
Thanks Callie,
Had to be done, can’t blog when I am behind, but moving forward! and looking forward to it!
WooHoo! (Glad you’re back too!; )
Doesn’t it just feel great to get things crossed off of the old “To Do” list?
yup, its a good thing, now hear is hoping that todays expected winds don\t do to much damage, the ast big ones, took out my greenhouse
Well, the wind’s been roaring around out there since last night, and there were a few gusts that shook the house, but I haven’t found any damage (yet): Good luck.
Got some panels ripped off the big barn so far, and some minor tree limbs down, we tried to tie things down last night as much as possible. I am hoping that the worst is over now, but we will see if that is the case
Seems to be slowing down here. There haven’t been any “house shakers” since daybreak… Have to go search the hedgerows for deadfall, once the wind dies. I like using it as a little”insurance” when I fire up the stove.
