We have 5 baby goats. Goats are fun, but baby goats are the most fun!!<br>
First our Bonnie delivered 2, a sweet set of boy/girl twins...Ragnar & Lagetha on Sunday, Jan 29th.<br>
Then Riser delivered a singleton named Ivar on Wed, Feb 1st. He is my personal favorite because he is jet black with one white spot on the top of his head. Also his front hooves are ever so slightly turned in...which everything Im reading says that will correct itself.<br>
Then Annie gave birth to a set of boy/girl twins; Olaf and Elsa, on Thurs, Feb 2nd. Ruth named those as she has claimed Annie as her goat and insist that the babies of Annie are hers as well. If you have ever known an insistent 4 year old, then you understand why we adhere to her logic. There is no denying Ruthie her claim or hell will be paid.<br>
Anyway, poor Riser was really too young to be bred but it happened...she thankfully survived as well as Ivar. But Riser isnt the best mom, plus her milk isnt enough to sustain Ivar. Yesterday we went out to check in the goats to find Ivar laying, unresponsive on the ground inside his and Riser's pen. Basically he had been out in the cold all night with no warmth from his mother. Thankfully I had put a sweater on him that night because of the cold and I think it kept him warm enough to keep him alive.<br>
Thankfully he was still alive. Thankfully the internet has a lot of information on caring for baby goats that have hypothermia. I acted quickly. I knew I had to warm him up. I submerged him in a warm..almost hot..bath..keeping his head up out of the water of course. After about 45 mins of the bath, I blow dried him and held him under my warming blanket. Meanwhile I was intermittently putting Karo syrup under his tongue to quickly absorb into his system to bring his blood sugar back up...which I would bet had plummeted due to not being fed by his mother as he lay dying in the cold. <br>
After about 4 hours the little guy was like new...ready to eat. So I milked his mother....which to my dismay, she really doesnt have much milk..and I milked one of thr other does. He will take his milkie from a bottle but he also doesnt mind when we lock a doe on the milk stand. He gets in there and nurses like a champ. <br>
Either way, Ivar is getting fed.<br>
And the bad news is Riser has rejected him all together at this point. I have them combined and Im making her feed him but this morning her milk output was so dismal and she is so miserable I think Im going to just put Riser back in the general population and keep Ivar as a bottle baby. <br>
So yep, thats been my week in a nutshell.</p>

<p dir="ltr">So we watched Gladiator last night at Levi's asking. Its a favorite..always brings tears....but last night was super crazy tears.</p>
<p dir="ltr">As Maximus lies dying, and all of Rome is being encouraged to honor him...the boys melted down into tears. Asher is always tenderhearted over the end. Levi has never really watched it to recognize what happens...but last night was different. This boy took to crying, wailing, gnashing of teeth like a pro. I thought the sack cloth and ashes were a nice point....but after 20 minutes I will admit...annoyance had sank in majorly for me. The cries of "Oh poor Maximus, why did you have to die?" really was beginning to annoy me. It wasnt sweet, cute or endearing...it was straight up attention seeking, overly-tired, craziness showing itself. <br>
I sent them to bed. The girls, however, were in the bathroom brushing their teeth. Esther, who is 7, is as cold-hearted as a 43 year old, thrice divorced, liberal woman and hilarious....she <u>says</u>, "what are these boys blubbering about? Maximus died...Maximus died...who cares. Its just a movie.....blah....blah....blah." <br>
She was "geez" this and "geez" that. It was quite a contrast I might add..between my sweet, tender boys and my hard cold girls. Its not always like that but it was funny.<br>
So during the movie and after I was working on Esther's baby quilt. She has had this quilt since she was a baby. It wasnt new when she received it. A friend of ours was taking it to the thrift store and I freaked and she let me have it. It has been Esther's favorite to the point the binding is worn out completely. I replaced it with a silky binding. She was thrilled. </p>

"Long time, no see. Its probably incorrect or offensive to blind people or Indians now...and I mean the feather wearing, war paint, shirtless Indians...not the curry eating, red dot on the forehead Indians. (Talk about politically incorrect 😂.)</p>
<p dir="ltr">Anyway life has been crazy busy. I feel that since Ruth was born I have been in the pit of chaos. Trying to claw my way out. She is 4 now. She has been worth it but boy howdy she was a surprise that has kept on giving.<br>
Hopefully I will use this space for good...not for evil. It was originally intended to be a journal of sorts for my family and our every day escapades. My friend, well my cooler BFF, Jenny, was asking me today if this space was even up still. It is.<br>
Im finding that since I am medication free (antidepressants....dont go calling DSS) my energy level has plummeted. I barely want to get dressed....but Im trying to be healthier, lose weight, eat better...and in time I am hoping my energy level and desire to accomplish minimal task will return....so with that said....Im trying to refocus, regroup, reblog. Time will tell.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Happy Thanksgiving.<br><br></p>

He made a 100%........A+. He is taking off with his reading finally.... as he should be considering he is almost 7 & in 1st Grade.<br>
He said this morning while I was working with him......"Mama I can read!" He is finally at the point where reading a word isn't that painfully drawn out torturous exercise in utmost patience for any parent helping an emergent reader.<br>
I'm so proud of him! His excitement over his accomplishment is contagious!!<span id="goog_544341748"></span><span id="goog_544341749"></span><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCYR4Xd2eGstUleS5ev8UsAzRfBIY8gwuhCDlhyHy3xwtkWq5GEme_XAy2b1bDBGeEU9f95uIkTXu4ULG0LQkMerP_KwqOrdI6sEbGEpQ9G443BBgE6gLj4imKPN60vgWG9QgVpvkUaYDX/s640/blogger-image-99651106.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCYR4Xd2eGstUleS5ev8UsAzRfBIY8gwuhCDlhyHy3xwtkWq5GEme_XAy2b1bDBGeEU9f95uIkTXu4ULG0LQkMerP_KwqOrdI6sEbGEpQ9G443BBgE6gLj4imKPN60vgWG9QgVpvkUaYDX/s640/blogger-image-99651106.jpg"></a></div>On A Hot Tin Roofhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05302692829810205652noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3451934771910950308.post-6592326107560636782013-09-22T17:40:00.001-04:002013-09-22T17:44:15.106-04:00Esther the Olympian in training<p dir="ltr">Today was a first in parenting for me. We all were outside moving chickens around & Esther was mad because she couldn't sit in the house & play electronics. <br>
I had asked her to walk 3 small pieces of wood back to the burn pile with Rachel and she refused. <br>
I told her if she didnt take it I would have to spank her. She dropped the wood when I handed it to her & took off running from me, screaming. <br>
I was completely caught off guard. My children dont run from me when faced with punishment. It just doesn't happen. I was a bit dumbfounded but shook myself & chased that future olympic sprinter down. She is fast & I actually was surprised I caught her with my arthritic bones acting up. She was wearing a maxi skirt...which benefited me.<br>
I caught up with her, popped her plump bottom & told her to go get the wood & take it to the burn pile.<br>
She did....screaming the whole way. When she got to the burn pile she threw that wood in with all of the force she could muster. <br>
Then she turned & crossed her arms over her chest & stood there. It took her a few minutes to swallow her little pride & join me again in the yard..but all was well now.</p>
<p dir="ltr">This picture that our friend took at her daughter's 3rd birthday photo shoot sums up Esther with all her attitude perfectly. This girl will give me a run for my money....more so than she already had done. </p>

<br />
yes it's true, Rachel graduated high school on Friday, May 24th, 2013.<br />
we are beyond thrilled for her and excited to see what God has for her future. because she graduated thru a homeschool co-op, they leave the "charge" to the graduate to that graduate's parents. maybe i'm biased, but Clayton did an amazing job writing a charge that fit Rachel to a tee. It is typed in its entirety below the pictures.<br />

<br />
<br />
"Lamentations 3:22<br />
"Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed for His compassion never fails. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness."<br />
<br />
Rachel, you have not been consumed, you have reached the finish line & your Mom & I love you & we are extremely proud of you.<br />
<br />
One of my earliest memories of your education takes place in a small bedroom made into a class room at our house on Frosty Road. One day your mom presents you a question & it goes something like this.....Rachel, today is Friday, yesterday was Thursday, tomorrow will be Saturday, Rachel what is today?<br />
With confidence in your big blue eyes you stated your reply.....Tuesday!<br />
<br />
Zechariah 4:10 says "Do not despise these small beginnings for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin...."<br />
<br />
Wow - look what you have accomplished with the Lord's help!<br />
<br />
Your mother & I are extremely blessed and count it a privilege to be your parents. we love you.<br />
<br />
If you will allow me to add to that question presented to you 12 years ago:<br />
<br />
<u>YESTERDAY</u> is your past - look back as needed to learn from your mistakes, but dont live there.<br />
<u>TOMORROW</u> is your future - dream God-filled dreams; run & chase after them all of your days.<br />
<u>TODAY</u> is your present - embrace it, live and breath in the mercy of the Lord.<br />
<br />
Rachel....what is your tomorrow? It's another day of small beginnings - walk it out with the Lord at your side & in your heart."<br />
<br />
<br />
I guess it seems so good to me because I know the struggles Rachel has everyday trying to figure out her future. I also see how busy Clayton is...he was actually out of town up until 3 hours before Rachel walked across the stage to graduate....and it doesnt always feel as if he is paying attention. this was an example of how much he is paying attention & how good God is at providing just the words Rachel needed to hear. It was perfect.<br />

i know i'm biased but i think these girls are pretty special!! it has been so much fun coaching them. it's been a unique experience being called "coach wendy" but one i wouldnt trade for any thing. the crazy thing is...as long as abigail is in this division I will probably be called on to continue to coach this league....and it seems that she will remain in this division for the fall of 2013 & the spring of 2014. we will see.<br />

<br />
so no pictures of the garden yet but this year it is slammed full:<br />
<br />
potatoes<br />
onions<br />
okra<br />
squash<br />
zucchini<br />
field peas<br />
4 varieties of garden beans<br />
2 types of green beans<br />
lima beans<br />
butter beans<br />
5 different varieties of sweet corn (3 heirloom/2 hybrid)<br />
10 different variety of tomatoes (about 36 plants so far, but i have 36 more still sprouting & growing...staggering my harvest)<br />
cucumbers<br />
cantaloupe<br />
honeydew melons<br />
watermelon (this year i have some from Africa & some Armenian variety of melons...all heirloom)<br />
Sweet Peppers<br />
Hot peppers<br />
pumpkins<br />
carrots<br />
lettuce (2 varieties)<br />
herbs<br />
broccoli<br />
cauliflower<br />
kale<br />
asparagus<br />
<br />
it's so exciting!!! i actually ran out of room in the garden. i still want to do some radishes & some turnips, but those can wait until the squash & zucchini are done for the year. then i can put those in the ground.<br />
<br />
i still didnt get to do as much as i wanted to. but i'm excited.<br />
i did what i could. i started seeds...patiently attended them...planted them. now i trust that God will be faithful to grow it all. He is so good.<br />
<br />
<br />
and this is a funny picture of my beautiful Essie. she is so much fun!<br />

<br />
we also have a duck that has ended up with the name "the phone". we had 3 runner ducks....ducklings. we had them set up in a pen in the yard like we have done many times before, but it seems some varmit (probably a possum) decided to find a way into the pen & eat 2 of the baby ducklings.<br />
so at night we bring the lone duckling inside in a cage at night to keep him safe.<br />
<br />
well levi hears the duck quacking (really at 2 weeks old its more of a cheep)....and he goes up to elizabeth (who cares for this particular duck) & says "duck calling you". and the duck is in a cage upstairs....but it doesnt matter. if the duck is cheeping then its calling elizabeth according to levi. 2 1/2 is such a fun age....at least with him it is very fun. (there are a few of my "goslings" in there also!<br />

<br />
the remaining 2 are doing fine. esther & asher have named them sleepy (asher's) & thumper (esther's). tonight sleepy decided to start biting so he became chomper.<br />
<br />

<br />
regardless, i am not going back to fix it.<br />
<br />
i felt the need to throw that out there considering i am vicious when it comes to bad grammar in certain situations....blogs, newspapers, & facebook statuses are just a few of those situations. by vicious i mean i shred the author in my brain....well not with the newspaper....dont they have editors who should be correcting grammar? i say that viciousness out loud!On A Hot Tin Roofhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05302692829810205652noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3451934771910950308.post-68837401258393984852013-05-02T22:22:00.000-04:002013-05-02T22:22:03.998-04:00weed maintenancesince we have built this big deck on the back of the house.....6 years ago....i have wanted to surround it with flower beds. clay has never been a fan of it because unfortunately i havent had a great track record of weed maintenance in flower beds.<br />
but i am getting better & he finally gave in and I tilled up some flower beds this spring. i split my hostas and put them on the shady side of the deck & put perennial bulbs behind them that will come up towards them summer with pretty purple flowers on them. i then found a great deal at Walmart. they had 4" pots (i think they were 4"...i just call them medium!) with perennials in them for $4.77 a piece. And they were a decent enough size that with some of them I was able to cut them in half to make them go further.<br />
I have been working on these flower beds for about 2 weeks now. i told Clay tonight after i was done that i wanted a yard of mulch for mother's day. he laughed and said "did you say you wanted mulch for mother's day?" why yes i did!<br />
plus we are having a drop in gathering for Rachel's graduation and I would like the mulch by then. it will just make the yard (and deck area) look so nice. now I want to paint the deck...white. give it that beachy feel to it..i like the chipped paint look. the wood now just looks....plain. add a little something to it...give it some umph! then once it's painted i would love to paint a faux rug on the floor of the deck. then it would be nice to get a pergola on it with a sun shade & some nice deck chairs & patio table. in time....it will come together.<br />
<br />
but here is a look at my hard work. i'm happy. it was starting to get dark when i finished. Asher had t-ball so Clay helped handle that. it was a busy afternoon. supposedly the repair man fixed our fridge but it still doesnt seem to be cooling. we will see.<br />
we missed piano i am just overwhelmed. i have been making them practice....they have recital on the 16th. just could not make it over to VA Beach today. the 2 hours time I would have to sacrifice for piano tonight were too valuable for what i needed to do at home, plus life is on full tilt at the moment & my health isnt (asthma , allergies & arthritis). i'm thankful our piano teacher is so understanding.<br />
rachel made supper (spaghetti). she did an awesome job. elizabeth helped keep a lid on everything else. Clay got home in enough time to dig the last 5 holes and he even pulled the laundry in off of the line that i was unable to get to.<br />
unlike last night (because i dug up 3 trees...a dogwood, a peach tree & a pine tree seedling), i am much more able to move. 800mg Ibuprofins are a wonderful thing for those of us who suffer arthritis irritated by wielding a pick ax to dig up a tree.<br />
<br />
oh, all of the flowers are perennials and i am starting seeds on some blue fescue evergreen plants to put in around all of them. behind most of the plants on all sides of the deck are either peony roots or dahia bulbs...with some holly hocks mixed in. i despise the work of annuals. i wont plant annuals ever again...unless it's a vegetable plant. as for the flowering plants i want them to come back year after year & even multiply...which perennials do. i will take pictures this summer when it's all in full bloom and fuller. the plants i put in over the last 2 weeks will get fuller. they are white, red, purple and pink.<br />

ok we have had issues with a possum eating our helpless animals. we have lost an almost laying silkie chicken that i had hatched out of my incubator. this possom climbed in the coop...ate the silkie, minus it's wings & left. but it also hurt my leghorn (who is recuperating nicely).<br />
so we moved everyone around so we wouldnt lose anymore of our chickens to the wild night life.<br />
well sadly, the possom came back & ate one of our baby runner ducks THRU the cage bars. i was so mad!!! so we went to tractor supply and bought a "catch & release" trap. there wont be any releasing! if we actually catch the critter it's a dead critter.<br />
<br />
anyway, we were testing the trap out.... notice rachel's face in the back ground. we have laughed so much over it. she said "maybe we can catch an armadillo" in her best "target lady" from SNL voice. it's pretty funny. i made this picture larger than the others so you can see rachel's face. makes me laugh.<br />

abigail turned 8 on the 20th of April. i cant say enough good things about her. she is so encouraging, probably the most of anyone i know. she always has an encouraging word for one of her siblings or her father & i..."good job," "way to go," "i knew you could do it." "i love you".....etc. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
she is also waaaaaayyyyyy to smart for her own good. her reading level is off the charts. she can read between the lines better than a lot of adults. she is also very good at reading people. i think she might have a career in the investigative field. if not that, then her children wont get by with much. </div>

Anyway, Abigail Grace....you are loved & adored. 8 years have flown by & we are so proud of the girl you are & the young lady you are becoming. Thankful that you love the Lord first and share His love every chance you get with others. </div>

we have started a new tradition of taking the birthday child out by themselves with mom & dad. Abigail wanted a good grilled cheese sandwich for her birthday dinner so she decided on Cracker Barrel. It was between Cracker Barrel & IHOP. I was happy with the choice of Cracker Barrel.</div>

Also, Abigail being a bit different than most kids her age, she only wants cheesecake for her birthday cake. For as long as she could decide what cake she wanted it has been cheesecake. Rachel actually made them this year & Abigail said they were the best she had ever had.</div>

<br />
here are some pictures of the little guys playing with their bubbles. needless to say it's been 2 days & i believe all 4 of the little ones have used (or poured out on accident) all of their bubbles at this point. but they were fun while they lasted.<br />

clayton actually hid the eggs while i was inside finishing up easter dinner.last year because liberty likes chocolate filled easter eggs, that we kept her & flashy penned up during the hunt. clay didnt remember that last year, even tho liberty was penned up, she still tried to steal eggs......we hid them too close to her pen & she would stick out her paw & pull the egg into the kennel. she was able to score 2 eggs this way & she busted them open & promptly ate the candy inside. she's a smart dog...too smart sometimes. she and flashy also got the ham bone & cut off fat pieces from the ham as well as the turkey gizzard & liver. they were treated well for easter.<br />

i said this last year & i will say it again, i love that rachel & elizabeth get out there & enjoy the egg hunt as much as the little kids do. elizabeth didnt allow for pictures....she shies away from them, but you see glimpses of her in the edges of the pictures.<br />
needless to say, they have all had enough chocolate to eat to last a lifetime.<br />
thrown in are some pictures of a couple of animals enjoying us being out & around on sunday. they like it when their humans come out to play.<br />

this rooster is "Gaffigan". I originally thought he was a she but he started crowing and I knew he wouldnt be giving me any eggs. i hatched him out in our incubator from a set of eggs that i collected last year. he was 1 of the 2 chicks that hatched out of that batch. he is a leghorn/americana (easter egger) mix. basically a barnyard mutt. as far as roosters go he is very docile and he looks so funny with that floppy leghorn comb he is sporting - that is why we named him "Gaffigan" - after Jim Gaffigan, the comedian...."hot pocket". if you dont know who he is, look him up on netflix or youtube. he is hilarious. be prepared tho, on occasion he will throw out a curse word or a vulgar phrase, but they are few & far between from what we have seen of him.<br />
anyway elizabeth, who feeds him, thought something was wrong with this rooster because of his comb.also, there are a few of his fertilized eggs in my incubator as i type, growing & hopefully set to hatch on or around April 11th-14th.<br />

these were the only children that allowed for pictures so early in the morning.<br />

It was a good time had by all. The eggs turned our really pretty & they made great potato salad, went in the cornbread stuffing i made, as well as were chopped up & topped a romaine lettuce salad. the kids also had a good time peeling the eggs, salting them & eating them also.<br />
