From One Chick to Another..

Yesterday morning started off pretty normal. Tuesday mornings I have to drop my daughter at her bus stop in town. My hubby has a meeting every Tues. Anyhow...I played around on my blog sites for a bit then decided I was gonna get some housework done. I stepped out into the shoe room (lots of windows)...and noticed that Gypsy & Luigi were out in the yard. Crap! I quickly got my boots and coat on and ran outside. I gently coralled the two naughty horses back into the open field. Peter forgot to secure the gate. Double crap! So...I go to look for the goats & llama since they are now missing. I was nearly nauseated at the thought of them gone. I don't really know why I panicked, they wouldn't go too far...but I just worried about predators and I didn't know how much of a help Felix (llama) was to the goats out in the bush. Anyhow...I called for them over and over, "Babies!!" "Nanee's!!!" (don't ask) Finally I saw Felix..then 7 goats. PHEW!!! I got the goats into the other door in the barn..but Felix was another story. The horses hate him..so, I had to put Gypsy in her stall and I locked Luigi out. I then coaxed the silly Llama in with sweet feed...in the meanwhile, I had to pick up my goose, who somehow got into the main barn with the goats and nearly got stomped on by Gypsy. SO, a goose under the arm, feed bucket in the other hand...door held open with a foot....I managed to coax the llama in, and shut the door!! YAY for ME!!! I caught some pics of these 2 on the deck...their new favorite spot. Not a good spot in our eyes as they coat the deck in goose poop. But aren't they adorable??? Anyhow...I am off to start baking. I have a cake order for Saturday..and so far, 6 orders for Dec. 6th...more coming. (my son is having a cake decorating lesson in his class...and I put my name out there to bake and ice cakes for a small amount of $$ since the parents would more than likely not feel like..or not have the time to do it... I met with his teacher last night, who made up a note for me and my offer...I didn't realize I would have this much response!..But I am very glad. ) Have a great day! I couldn't resist this...lol, thanks Issy.

That geese like carrots?

Well, I sure didn't! I should have taken a hint when I was down in the garden digging up the last of my carrots and the geese were on the other side of the fence honking at me.

Then, with my little red wagon loaded up with freshly picked carrots, I toddled up to the house...pulled up a chair, sat down and picked the tops off. The geese joined me...

"Whacha doin? Hmmm...that looks nummy!!"

"That IS nummy!

"Wait-a-minute!! The orange stuff is nummy too!"

"Quick Matilda...c'mon & eat, them hoover-like chickens are coming!!"


"Aren't I cute?"

"Awww CRAP! More Competition!!"
Cletus the cat: "What's so thrilling about this stuff??"

"Hmmmm...I don't think we've been formally introduced yet...lemme introduce myself..Mah name is Cletus...(sounds like 'Clay'-tus)"


"What do you mean, I am sitting on your dinner?"


Waste not, Want not...

"Doncha know that carrots are FULL of beta carotene and that is sooooo good for the eyesight?? I think I can see better already!"


I actually managed to get some myself before Lucy & Matilda came to help me!
Have a honking great day!!
