I still can't get over how good Momma, Lou Lou, is doing for such an unsocial butterfly. She still doesn't like us real close and she has to be the one to touch us.
My daughter came over today to check on them. Being my first time with babies, it's nice to have some support.
My daughter went down to the barn to visit her horse, Summer, and I watched my 7 month old grandson....such a rough task to do. 💕😊 I was wondering what she was doing down there for so long. I figured it out when I went down later to feed the goats. She cleaned the barn for me! What a wonderful surprise. It had gotten quite messy, specially in this cold weather we had. None of us wanted to be down there any longer then we had to be. I will try to do a better job.
We are once again trying to sell my granddaughter's pony, Sonny. Sonny and my granddaughter do not get along very well. Poor kid. She wants to love that pony but Sonny just doesn't want it. She has kicked her, tried biting her and tried double barrel kicking my husband. One day we were feeding and I grabbed my granddaughter's snow suit and flung her across the paddock. lol My GD looked at me and said "Grammy, why did you do that?!" I said, "cause Sonny was getting ready to kick you!" With training I think she would be a great little pony. I just don't have the time or knowledge needed to train her and my granddaughter is a tad bit too timid to get after her.
We had a death in the chicken coop today too. Bertha, the lone meat bird, passed away. A friend of mine bought her along with 5 other chickens. We were kind of hoping that she would be able to live a longer life. My friend was going to process her but again with this COLD snap we had, it just wasn't possible. This past fall we processed 12 meat birds. My freezer is full. We actually just cooked one up last week. Amazing how good fresh meat tastes and the knowledge of where that meat came from is worth it. We also have fresh pork and beef in the freezers.
Fresh and local is best!
