It’s been a busy week around here. So for a recap:Our one doe’s kidded 2 beautiful little girls, but a coyote broke in and got both of them. We were devastated and heart broken. Farm man(hubby) was able to find where they entered and get it fixed. After that we decided to go ahead and milk her. She is a Nigerian x golden gurnsey. GG’s are phenomenal milkers, giving up yo a gallon a day easily. Nigerians of course don’t give that much. My hope was in crossing them is that the offspring would smaller and give more milk than a typical Nigerian. So far that’s been the case. As time goes on I’ll know more.
The seeds I planted are all germinating and doing great!. I’m very pleased with them all. I’m excited to be able to get outside in the garden and get my hands in the dirt.
I planted far more herbs than my usual ones. Mostly medicinal. I have a lot to learn about medicinal herbs but knowledge is power. And I’m studying as time allows.
I’ll be putting eggs in the incubator soon. Rather than buying chicks I decided to just hatch my own barnyard mix. It’s much cheaper. Purebreds are nice, and I will order some next year probably, but a barnyard mix still lays eggs! I’ve never been so grateful to live the lifestyle we do!
I’ve been trying to keep my focus on our farm and just staying home and quiet rather than focus on current events. I figure the universe will handle it. And I 100% believe in Karma! What you put out there will come back 3 fold. Be it good or bad! Some people will have a really time when karma comes back to them!
My countenance has lifted now that winter is winding down and spring is well on its way.
Spring always brings with renewed hope and joy.
So many plans this spring! I’m eager to get started on them. It will be a busy time but also productive. I’ll post what we’re doing as we go along!
Until next time…
Love & Light
