IMPATIENT

Look at this awesome thrift store find I found yesterday!  I paid only 2.75 for this 3 tube bird feeder.  I was very excited! I still have to fill it and put it outside.  Tomorrow hopefully.

This tree is in my yard in front of where I park my car.  I had never seen anything like this before.  The tree has this big icicle hanging off of it.  It's a little bit of frozen sap from a maple tree coming out of this knotty hole.  A sign of spring?  Sure do hope so!

Anyone else play around with Snapchat?  haahaa.  I was playing around the other day with it.  Some times my granddaughter and I have fun with it.  Besides, have to do something while I'm impatiently waiting for these baby goats to be born!
I took this just about an hour ago.  Hope is getting so close.  How many do you think she'll have?  I think maybe triplets.  If it's twins, they are going to be huge.
Both Hope and Penny went for another walk today and checked out the chickens and turkeys.  I went in the house for my jacket and I could hear Penny scratching at the door to come in.  lol  Nope, I didn't let her in tonight.  I had a hard time getting her back to the barn.  She didn't want to go back to the stall.  She was blatting and blatting away.  I had to go get the grain scoop and of course then she came back.
Daisy, on the left, finally has started to like being patted.  Today she let me rub her neck.  That is a big step for us.  I think having Bo and Luke in there with them is really helping.  The girls see how much the boys love getting attention so they are starting to warm up to us.  Lou Lou, on the right, actually jumped up on me as I was walking in with the grain tonight to feed them.  These are big steps for us and I am so hopeful that I can get them to trust people and actually enjoy being loved.

These are my stow away hens that sleep down at the barn.  The other 50+ birds sleep up in the chicken coop where they belong!  lol  They have been down there all winter long.  Some of the other chickens come down every day to visit, including one rooster.  They spend the whole day down there and then they go back up to the coop.  These girls eat with the goats or I'll drop down some goat feed for them in the barn.  Guess they don't like drama so they stay to themselves.

Today I stepped in a mud puddle while wearing my boots.  I realized my foot was getting wet.  When I got back to the house I showed my son.  He said "ah, mom, those boots have to be pushing 15 years old"!  LOL  I guess I've done pretty good with them then.  Hubby will get some boot gunk and fix them back up for me though.  There's still way too much wear left in them to get rid of them yet.

                       Well, here's to hoping there are some baby goats in the morning!
