Repeat after me- No goats, no goats

Yes!  Winds howling, snow blowing, drifts forming, this is a blizzard.  We finally got some snow.  Our OLD farmhouse isn't really snug.  Sitting in the kitchen yesterday, the wind coming out of the east at 35 mph, snow was actually coming through the window by the table and building up inside the screen.  I have a window full of snow this morning!


 


I'm on my own for most of the day today.  Honey is working, driving.  All of the children are gone, so I have this time.  I'm wishing I was going to church, but with the blizzard, I think I'll stay put.  So what to do?  Seems like when the children are gone I don't do much of anything.  I always think that I'll get so much done, but here I am at the computer and making plans to do....I could mud the livingroom walls.  Put the border up around the kitchen.(brrr)  Try spinning some more of the roving I have.  Start some long overdue sewing projects.  Whew!  I'm tired already.  Time for a cup of coffee and a break. 


 


Well, it is out to feed the horses, donkeys and chickens.  Also, a couple of dogs and cats and some poor little finches that keep getting blown out of the feeder.


 


Can I share something with you?  I have this terrible urge to get some more goats.  I had to get rid of the last ones because they liked my neighbor more than they liked me.  He wasn't too fond of them, though.  But the urge is so great and unless I get some serious prayer, I may give into it.  I would love to make cheese again and goats' milk soap.  It must be spring fever.  Cuz a few new chickens sounds really good too.  How about an Angora goat or two?  Okay, I'd better stop.  My dh better get home before the barn is full.


 


Have a blessed sabbath.  Spend it with Him.

Its time to get some goats, sorry, Im not going to try to talk you out of it... why not a cashmere or two and a couple dairy goats (I'm partial to my nubian girls) ... just make up a good pen before you get them... Enjoy your alone time.. I know with youngsters that can be a rare commodity.. do something you want to do and relax. Take care and stay warm
