Of goats and pumpkins

Sunshine this morning.  But, boy is it cold.  We had another 20 something degree morning.  We covered the tomatoes last night, but I didn't have enough plastic to cover the pumpkins,too.  I hope they survived.  Whatever is still out there has to be picked today.


+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++


Dd3 bought two goats yesterday.  They're Nubian, Oberhaasli, Boer cross.  She hopes to have them bred and milk them.  I don't think they'll be big enough to breed this fall.  They were born June 2.  I'll try and post some pics of our ever increasing herd.


++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 


Today we need to start shearing.  Angoras and Icelandics.  I may post pics of us fighting with sheep, also.


++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++


Lots of jobs today.  Our new furnace isn't in yet, but we got the old wood burner out of the basement.  This involved a couple of chains, a big tractor, a come-along, thick planking and abundant prayer.  God was so good and up the steps and out the front door it was winched.  I didn't think to take pictures.  I did discover that I pray more when I'm scared.  That furnace had to go at least 800 pounds.


+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++


Off to make good use of my time....I hope to be back later with pictures.


Bless the Lord.
