Things are pretty quiet around the little place in the woods. Jeffrey is still collecting poles for building material. We are still trying to get an enclosed porch set up before winter gets here. We have help from a friend and there’s still time to do it.
We’ve got five baby chicks running around. Unfortunately, we lost the two older chicks. They had been nesting in the goat barn and they moved to an unsafe nesting place when we tried to set up a stall for the sick goat. We haven’t seen them since. So far, the new chicks are doing fine and getting their real feathers. If we can get them to move into the chicken house at night, they just might make it.
The goats continue to grow. We are down to four little ones. We are keeping both of Scamp’s kids, now named Pete and Repete. They need to be re-wetherized as it doesn’t seem to have been as successful as with Ragnar. We plan to start training these goats to pull a cart. Jeffrey has visions of having the goats pull us to church in a cart. It will be a sight to see, if it does happen.
No news on Jeffrey’s potential job. He may have a part time lawn care job, which would be okay too. It was sure nice to have the holiday off with him.
