Random Monday Thoughts

Another weekend has passed. Fall is here and the weather is beautiful, we still need a ton of rain to catch up on our yearly requirements, but we have to trust in the Lord to care for us in His time, not ours.  Had to spend the day indoors teaching school.  Still finding it hard to be motivated applying ourselves to school since we've recently had so many exciting outside adventures.  The boys and I spent some time talking about our favorite vacation memories, reliving the moments and planning on next year's trip.  If we decide to go away from the farm for a long visit, we'll have to limit our does in milk and/or plan on drying animals up before we leave.  That is something we will really need to think about as we were going to try to bottle feed more bucket calves this spring, and had planned on having 8 does in milk.  Hmm, we may have to sit out in some 4H projects, glad we have another week to decide on projects for the new year.

Happy Fall!

Today promises to be a great one!  The weather should be perfect, the morning started out with the slight nip of fall and already it is warming up nicely.  Once our school day is finished, we are planning for a nice relaxing rdie through the woods....... where the sounds of leather, horse and kids will break the silence.
After the ride, reality will come rushing back and it will be time to hit the chores...... we'll need to haul some hay bales to the pastures and this weekend will be full of animal maintainence.  It is time to worm, trim hooves and do the fall-checks on the goats and cattle.  We'll be starting our breeding season in a few weeks and need to be sure all are in peak condition.
Back to school for now!

Just Starting Out

This is my first attempt at blogging....... who said you can't teach an old dog a new trick?  Well, it sure is tougher than with a young pup!

I already know that I'll not blog frequently or on a regular basis, 'cause like this blog is called........ around here, there is Always Something Going On!!! 

Enjoy the last day of summer and I'll try to post on the first day of fall!

Sandy :)
