Webster...

"Willow & Webster"

This is Webbie when he was cute, and little, and sweet....

"Webbie"

The now two months older, juvenile delinquent, holy terror kitten. 

He's nuts I tell you. He has this toy, it's a blue/silver ball with feathers on a elastic cord, tied to a stick that is the bee's knee's of kitty toys. This toy was lovingly put right above my pillow. Needless to say at about midnight last night Webster was playing between the pillows, pounced up and out to get the ball and landed on my face. :-/ You'll all be relieved to know he got the ball and wasn't hurt... trust me... I was tempted to do a little harm to Webbie...

Here's to a good nights rest with out a kitten, thumping, bumping, and making flying leaps on to my head.

"Phoenix" 

She had just taken her bottle.

"Lavender (foreground) & Brin (Besty Rose's little doeling"

As I type Lavender is on my lap. She was cold, hungry and a weeeee bit stressed out. So in the house she came. You all knew it was going to happen... Right? *BG*

New Babies

A new bull calf (whom I'm naming "Wished you were a heifer"), 3 new goats who have managed to get out more times than they have been in, and snow falling. Right now I'm hoping for a early spring, that Lavender eats well in the morning, an WYWH will even try to take his bottle (stubborn little $%%^#@@!), and so forth and so on.

Tomorrow I will post pictures, but they are on the P&S and it won't download onto my laptop. But it will on the desktop. I don't understand and I don't even try to anymore. Just go with the flow.

I've been reading blogs on the NAIS (so glad they are dropping it for now), HSUS (no comment), and family life in general. Right now I'm tired and just want to hit the hay... and maybe just maybe get some sleep.

All in all this month just has me in a funk. AND NO it's not for the normal reason that most single women can be depressed for this month. That doesn't bother me... other things do though... memories of years ago. Amazing how one person can affect your life. All while being lonely, depressed and insecure... not me another person. Some day I will go more into this. Right now... he's, they, them slash slash aren't worth the time.

Winter mix...

Does that not sound so much better than... snow, sleet, rain all mixed and coming down at once? Sigh... I firmly believe that the weather people do not know what is really going on out there until they look out a window. One says...Winter mix with no accumulations, another station says... 1-3 inches are possible. An inch here, an inch there... here a inch, there a inch, everywhere a inch inch... Old McDonald had a farm E I E I O.

On a more happy note: Tomorrow we pick up Betsy and baby and another little Alpine baby. *happy face* Don't you just love little baby goats?! Who doesn't?! Cute little, perky eared, white and black, nibble monsters :) And their girls... Pictures to come.

Must do chores... and I don't want to go out and do it. Oh well calves, goats, and cows need water and feed. Toodles from the corner of a semi warm, old rock house.

Good hay

It takes so little to make me a happy person. Good hay is one of them. Today we got some good hay... fall cut fescue, that's green. Sigh... it's a good feeling... I could cry. I know it's silly to cry over hay, but when it seems that people just want to always pull a fast one or not want to be stuck with bad hay at your expense, or sell you over priced hay. It's just a relief to have hay in the yard that you don't have to worry about your cows getting sick over.

All in all I'm fairly easy to keep happy, good hay, good milk prices, good cows, good sewing machine, good equipment, and life is good :) What more could I ask for... WELL I could go on, but why push it. lol

Dreaming of Spring days here... also... off subject, but when is someone going to get that glorious groundhog some sunglasses? :-/ Seed catalogs online and in paper form are my new best friends these days.

Monday...

Today is over with... THANK GOODNESS. It's been a busy one and thankfully it was a nice day out, chilly but nice. We went and looked at two goats and their kids, bought one of them and a doe kid. :) The older doe comes with a doe kid and we are getting another doe kid. They are SOOOOO sweet! But then what baby animal isn't cute? :)

Pictures to come after their arrival.

So nothing much new is happening around here. Snow is melting and making mud, hose has sprung a leak, we can't find anyone who will deliver any DRY wood so we have been about freezing. Thankfully a friend of the family gave us a little that is dry to get us by until we can hopefully find seasoned, dried, non GREEN, split, NON GREEN, burnable wood.

It's days when it's cold and your cold, and you have to look at a house that is going on the THIRD year of you not being able to live in it all because of greed and a STUPID contractor... not saying he is literally stupid, just stupid in the way of dang his sorry hide. How can ANY one do this to people? I just don't know. But after all he did say... Bad things happen to good people and it's a good thing you have that old house, and if you ever want or need to sell the farm I want first chance at it. Sigh... I'm not bitter about it... today it's just hard not to think about it. WHY, I don't know.

On to happier things...hay is coming tomorrow... woo hoo!!!!! :) Wish is was alfalfa but OH WELL... I'll be happy with anything at this point... as long as it's not rotten. :)

Nite all...
