O.k.first off we don't have money to see a vet, so we are do it yourself people. I think our goat has a cyst on her cheek, and it seems to be growing. I wonder what tips any one has to get the infection out and drained well?? I shaved it and stuck a needle in it and got a little to drain, but their is more to get out. And if anyone knows what they are from and how to prevent more from coming any tips are good!!

We are getting things cleaned up after the tornado. My family came out from Ohio. The men and my husband put up a new goat shed/mower shed. We got our garden tilled and re-planted. And we got more trash picked up, trees cut up, really the yard looks lots better.

We went and looked at a mobil home for 9 thousand dollars furnished, but we are trying to weigh out our options, we don't really want to move in another mobil home, but it may be the only way we could afford a home right now. We have also asked our neighbor if we could salvage their lumber from their house that was condimed , we are waiting to hear if they would sell it that way so we could build a small home. Lots of work, but it's a thought so we could start building that way. Alls we know is this RV is getting way small now that we don't have the mobil home to put things in. Somethings going to work out, at this point we're open to about anything.

Rob is putting up new fencing tonight for the goats. The flies have about taken over since the storm. We had about 200 pounds of feed that was spilled all over the yard and the smell and flies have sure moved in. yuck :O(

My baby is eating cereal now, shes almost 5mo.  I also need to sew more nappies, mine were on the line drying when the tornado came , I think I found most of them, but we still need more to get us by with out useing paper diapers.

Here I am with the squrial I shot, Rob bought me a gun so I could shoot the coon that ate 3 layer hens and 5 other chickens, I wasn't very happy with it and had seen it twice, I told Rob if I had a gun I could have shot it. Any ways this little guy was my target practice, I shot and I got him. Rob came home from work and told me squrials are not in season, oops I had no clue their even was a season to shoot them in. I know now! My son Grant was way proud of me, he was like nice shot mom! Too cute, I have to admit it felt good to know I could get something if I need too! We finely did trap that coon and I let Rob finish him off, he was too cute and I seen him up too close to shoot him. Now I hope we have better luck on the chickens now. We've lost over 40 chickens this spring. We are waiting on more to hatch too. We only got 3 to hatch last time out of 12 eggs. Time before was 2 out of 12. Some I hope it's better this time. Last time they got cold when the storm hit for one night.
