FRANKLY , I AM OPPOSED TO ANYONE GOING TO SCHOOL THIS FALL MOST ESPECIALLY LAURA WHO FOR SOME UNKNOWN REASON THINKS NURSING WOULD BE A BETTER LIFE CHOICE THAN DOG TRAINING... HER SCHOOL IS "OPENING" -- WHATEVER THAT MEANS--- THAT DOES MEAN TO US THAT HER LAST SCHEDULED DAY WILL BE 8/8 AND AFTER THAT SHE WILL BE AROUND ON AN "AS AVAILABLE " BASIS.. SHE HAS BEEN AROUND HERE FOR 10 YEARS.. AND KNOWS LOTS OIF "THINGS" .. AND MORE IMPORTANT, SHE NOTICES THINGS LIKE " WHEN YOU CAN'T FIND YOUR PHONE IT IS ON THE TABLE IN THE T TENT" -- AS A NATION , I AM SURE WE WILL TRY AND KEEP TEH NURSING SCHOOLS OPEN AND FUNCTIONING.. DAMMIT. --- NOTICING IS SO CRITICAL IN ANIMAL MANAGEMENT-- AND Farm life in general-- i found a nut in the driveway ( the metal kind... not a person) and i still have it as i wonder what is about to fall apart for lack of.... ---- new aniamls arrived maryanne driving janine's truck delivered a cute 32" tall buckskin mini horse (fyi..buckskin is a brown/tan horse with black legs etc, but noteably a black line down the spine like teh donkeys...) -- a mare ?pony? with a very young foal nursing -- and a donkey.... a pathetic looking scraggly messy looking donk....however... he /?she? looks like a poitou donkey-- a french breed-- with dredlocks.. it is also a very large breed.. like "pockets "or larger... if thaat is true it is a very young one because those are big.. and are used to breeed to draft horses to produce the draft mules in france. you never know t the auction what you are gettijng....... like the 5 white goats that had someting beside an udder between ther hind legs i wonder about that cute little buckskin.. he is too low to the ground for me to get out and get under to see just what is there. hopeflly we find out before we have a bunch of mini mules running around.... --- a "happening" re:GUINNEA HENS... i like guinnea hens... they are comical.. very impressed with themselves plus they eat ticks. the fact that i am nearly deaf may be the reason i like them.. == WE HAD 8 two YEARS AGO... THIS SPRING WE HAD 4... THEY DO AGE YOU KNOW-- AND HAWKS SOMETIMES STOP THE AGING PROCESS... HOWEVER... THEN WE HAD 3 .. ALL OVER WE HAD 3.... TIL PAM TOLD ME SHE HAD seen 4 all at one time.. 4 -- DOESN'T SOIUND LIKE MUCH DOES IT?/ EXCEPT THAT MEANS THT THE 4TH IS SITTING ON EGGS--- LOTS EGGS... LAST TIME ABOUT 20 EGGS... DOESN'T SOUND LIKE AANYTHING REMARKABLE.... HOWEVER --- TODAY AUG 5TH IS THEDAY WE ARE SUPPOSED TO GET 15 GUNIEA HEN CHICKS FROM ? MININESOTTA? SAM K ORDERED THEM FOR US. THOS E WILL GO INTo THE ICU HOUSE... THEY AHVE TO BE KEPT AT 95 DEGREES FOR A STArt which goes down 5 degrees every few days. and i don't even know where the 4th is sitting.. hopefully graduating to the new chicken house... which is almost ready for them .. needs minor detail... a roof. |
