Best laid plans of mice and men....

Yeah, the agenda didn't pan out so well. The scarf took longer to finish up, the weather didn't cooperate, and blahblahblah....

I hate it when that happens, hehe.

Today's agenda...

Clean up from yesterday's agenda. Finish this scarf. Start on the hat I promised to make in hopes of finishing it before Christmas. Trim goat hooves and take pictures of their hoo-hahs so my goatie friends can look at them and give me guesses as to whether or not they are expecting. Get the wind knots out of Grubby Butt's mane and give him nose kisses. Take some non-inappropriate pictures of the animals to post here. Avoid the news. Watch White Christmas and give my annual thanks for the wonder that is Danny Kaye. Possibly then get distracted by my Danny Kaye adoration and watch The Court Jester (OMG, I LOVE THAT MOVIE! "Get it? Got it! GOOD!" "The pellet with the poison's in the flagon with the dragon, the vessel with the pestle is the brew that is true!!") Pick up some 'Tater salad for tomorrow's office party. Possibly nap.

Pictures.

Sorry for my abrupt departure in the last post. The guys had been out hunting during our black powder hunting season and they got a nice big doe for our freezer.

I figured since it has been a while I would post some pictures, the make up of some of the farm has changed and I am far too lazy too go back and see what I have and haven't posted about. So.

Brego, the fat hairball is still a fat hairball.

*happy sigh* I love this horse so much.

POULTRY!!!!

Duck, duck, duck....

ducks

the chicks that hatched this summer, it is obvious now which are roos. They will likely be soup before spring.

Though I may give the one who looks like his daddy a reprieve. Jewels is so pretty, especially now that his moult is over.

The handsome red roo will likely not see the end of the year before he lands in a pot. He is a very sweet kind gentle roo, we just have more roo than we need so.... stew pot.

Look how big and handsome the first kid born here has turned out! Chickory is almost 2 now. I wish I had more time to work him, I really want to get him driving well.

Stoli and Kahlua, my mini nubians.

Rosie and Woodruff. Rosie is mine, Woodruff is the goat i am trading for Stoli, he just needs to head home.

Woodruff goat

Buckthorn and Ivy, Buckthorn is my meat mix buck. All my bucks are young this year and small. Buckthorn is roughly 1/2 Boer, 1/4 Kiko and 1/4 Nubian. Maybe more Nubian and less kiko, his mom looks a LOT more nubian than anything else.

and Sage and Nutmeg.

I wasn't able to breed Sage for a fall kid because I had no buck at that point. So I have NO fresh does. *sob* and probably won't have any kidding until April. *sob*

OK, that should be it for now.
