These two keep me young.
On this day 2 years ago, the guy with the self-painted orange hair broke my water after a 4 mile hike in the Eagle Cap wilderness of Northeast Oregon. We ended up in a tiny mountain town hospital where I spent my 41st birthday walking along a path dotted with horses and cattle to get my contractions started. Two days later, Jack arrived. His birthday we will celebrate Saturday. Life has changed, and time flies too fast, but gratitude grows every day. Thanks to all of you who have spent another year with my team!
Did you know that chickens love milk? Whenever our goats knock over a jar while we are milking them, we give the remainder to the chickens as a treat. They go crazy for it. It has a lot of protein, which gives them a boost for winter nutrition, and calcium, which is great for strengthening egg shells. Raw milk is also given to chickens at times to aid with gut disorders because of the beneficial bacteria and enzymes. Plus, our chickens just love it! Anyone else do this?
Our hens decided to take holiday break starting around Halloween. So today I gave them a pep talk and let them know that they may have made it to Thanksgiving but free-loader soup is on the menu for Christmas.
I got a real chuckle out of this one. A sweet 4H teen agreed to help milk our goat while we visit my parents for Thanksgiving. I noticed right away we’d have a bit of a challenge, given the 2 inch long acrylic nails. She just had them done and said, “I haven’t had nails in 3 years!” Perfect timing. 🤣We tested them out. This is why I never have nice nails and had one person comment, “you look like you play hockey.”
This whole show is ridiculous. First a judge RIGHTFULLY told Donald John Trump to get troops off the streets in DC. Less than a week later a shooting odder than anything occurs. Now, it's back to the old blame immigrants, Arabs and Muslims game.
And by the way, Epstein didn't kill himself!!!
