Mid September Already?

Mmm. Alright Bambi how many kids are you hiding in there and when are you going to let them out???? I thought it would have happened by now….

Found some cute new signs for my market table. I have had to increase my prices a bit….. soap is now $6

A sugar scrub is this month’s new product 

The lilac soap was ready to package. Mmmm. Smells heavenly 

Picked up an awesome solar light for the Patchwork Shed. 

Digger sniffing around in the car. 

Digger went to the veterinarian for his rabies shot and other vaccines. At 5 months he weighs 62 pounds. 

Digger digs. That hole is knee high on me. 


Mmmm. Looks like some chickens need a new roof pretty soon. 

These four little bucklings will soon be wethers. They are all still available and if not sold will go in my freezer when the weather cools off. They are already eating almost as much as adults and the price of hay is going up. 

Well I’ve been a bit lazy today.  Did chores and cleaned pens until it got too hot. Came in and had some lunch and played on the computer some. And now it’s time to do afternoon chores. One of the reasons I haven’t been posting a lot is my phone battery seems to be dying. Of course it’s only 6 years old….  

The Rest of August

Thought I’d catch you up on some things that happened in the rest of August. I pulled a chain link panel out from Bambi’s pen. 

I replaced it with a gate panel. 

I added more panels and made a little pen to separate the bottle baby and his brother from Storm during the day. So there is a gate on the outside of the little pen and then a gate into the big pen. A small tarp on top to help keep off rain and shade cloth on the outside. 

Then last week Midnight looked like she was coming into heat and I decided it was time to wean everyone. So all four boys are together now. 

We’ve had some crazy monsoon storms but nowhere near the amount of rain as last year. 

One day I milked in a drizzle with thunder, lightening and sunshine all at the same time!

The flies have been crazy. This giant fly paper has made the most difference of everything I’ve tried. I’ve been putting it on old tomato cages, buckets, just anything handy. 

Digger is getting big. Still getting in trouble but sometimes he is good. 

Storm has a better rear udder attachment than her mom Bambi. 

Midnight also has a nice attachment although her tiny sideways pointing teats are hard to milk. 

First day of weaning all the boys I got two gallons plus a pint of milk. That may go down a bit as the girls adjust to the lower demand. 

Tobacco Bay is a new soap scent. 

There have been a few cucumbers, peppers and tomatoes in the garden but not huge amounts of any one thing. 

I don’t know exactly what happened but Digger managed to break the front door. 

He’s watching an ant. 0.0  Check out how long his tail is, it’s almost touching the ground!

Monsoon sunsets are the bomb. 

I was hoping September would be cooler but it’s actually hotter. I can’t wait for fall.
