Homesteading with children

• Wednesday, April 9, 2008 - Spring time or Summer?

I can't decide if it's spring or summer here! It's HOT here :o)

Any ways it's been exciting here, I was nursing my baby and looked out the window to see my goat was loose. When we first bought her she was a bit wild, so I wasn't sure if I would be able to get her back to the cable. We don't have a fence for her sop we keep her tied. Well I went out and jiggled some food and she came right over and jumped up on the milk stand, whew...... it wasn't hard at all. So I called my husband and asked what to do?... He told me to leave her there and go to wal-mart for a new cable, that made me worry, because I didn't want to come home to a goat with a broken neck if she happened to get spooked, but I took off and as I was looking both ways to pull out, I (duh) happened to remember the feed store less  about a block from our house, so instead of turning right I went left, they had a gadget that pressed the cables together so I didn't have to end up going clear to wal-mart 7miles away and be worried about my poor little milk goat getting strangled while I was out.

Then we were out of hay, so I did end up going into town to get hay any ways.

Yesterday I found a kitten on freecycle, silly me drove one hour to get 1 baby kitten that was free, I wasn't thinking very well about how much that would cost me in gas. So the silly kitten must have cost at least 15.00 in gas money............. So I got a new kitten, and had 3 grumpy children by the time I got home. Now I'm hoping that goat milk will get her by until she can eat food. So I bought a kitten bottle at the feed store to, because the med. dropper didn't go so well. :o)

Last night 2 of my chickens got out and I can't get them back in, grrrrr , and they are tearing up my flowers and strawberry plants. I hope we can think of a way to get them in by tonight, or my honey might get shot gun happy and I don't want that to happen on another hen.

Well I need to go, have a wonderful afternoon, Kim
