I busted up so much ice last year. It's only November 19th, and I'm finding iced over water troughs already!! I am NOT ready to start busting up ice with a pickaxe again ALREADY! This is solid ice about 1/2" thick except around the very edges. Grrrrrr.....

Sadness is…
... going out to feed everybody, and finding one of the turkeys died in the night. It's doubly sad because that was the one for Thanksgiving dinner! I have no idea what happened to it. It seemed perfectly healthy yesterday afternoon when I checked on everybody. Happier times......

These were killed … Continue reading They’re back

Somebody missed me!
I was out of my office last week all week for testing, and I was gone all day yesterday for a staff meeting. Puppers will not leave my side today. It's all I can do to keep her off my lap so I can get a little work done with my online students! Lol

Fixing fences …
...again. We have one goat who gets out a LOT. Luckily, it's the friendly one who thinks all people have snacks just for her so she's easy to put back in.
