I have some of the vegetable garden in, we planted pepper plants in the square foot garden and then covered them with milk jugs, good thing it got really cold a few nights after planting.
The tall green stuff is the garlic I planted last fall. The bushy stuff, is basil. |
We now have twins as of Monday May 16, one of each. First time mommy, Mildred kept giving me signs that she was going to deliver on Saturday the 14th, so I stayed home from a bridal shower, but she didn't kid until monday! We have a doeling and buckling each doing well. They already have a future forever home...our friends from Laingsburg are going to take them. This is is good and comical as well...the kids were born on Don's birthday, we call them Don and Betty (the neighbor's names) just for fun.
Here's the crowd, Isabeau, Anya and the twins. Anya is learning how to be a "Mommy Dog", just like Isabeau. |
So far, in the last couple of weeks I have broke both tractors! The Massey's tie rod broke while I was working up the garden area, and Cubby quit running while I was mowing the lawn the last time. Massey is back up and running, but Cubby is taking a bit longer to repair.
Have been thinking alot about Market and when it would be starting up. Found out that St. Johns will start June 18th, so I have a few more weeks before that one. Thought I might like to do Laingsburg's this year, maybe alternate between the two. Found out that Laingsburg is going to do their's on Wednesdays from 4-8. Bad day, already have Meals on Wheels and the Knitting group. Guess Laingsburg will just miss out.
I plan to go to St. Johns all season, with a few exceptions. Like the very first one, that is a goat show. This is the only goat show that I can make it to this year, so goats first, then market.
Anya is growing like a weed. Went to Vet this week for well doggie check and she weighs in at 39 pounds! She is over half the weight of Isabeau, and she is only four month old.
Here is Anya just after we got her in March.
Here is April! |
And here is the most recent...May. |
She is becoming quite the arm full!
Last Friday, we went to Chris's house in the evening for a campfire and cook out. Couldn't stay late, as we have goats to milk and kids to feed, but we had a good time while we were there.
Yesterday, Jenn and I went to Marshall to their May Faire. It is a small Faire, but the price was right...only $10! We had a nice time visiting the vendors and then we walked around Marshall and had lunch at a very nice restaurant next to Shullar's Hotel. Nice day all together.
Greg had recorded the Preakness for me, so we watched that in the evening. Good day all around.
The sun is shinning and it is warm out. Expecting a good day today!
Onward and Upward!
