I almost forgot my password for this blog. Good golly it's been a long while since I've blogged. OH! Speaking of golly (that was our goat's name, Golly), all of our goats FINALLY had their babies. And now we recently found out that another one of our goat's are pregnant. I'd be a lot more excited about this, but I'm not a goat lover. However, soon enough we'll be selling goats milk and I'll be getting paid for the milking! WOOHOO! (no, that's not a sneeze, that's a way to say "I'm excited") Speaking of getting payed, I've started my own business. I now own all of the chickens and I sell eggs $2.00 a dozen. I get a little over 105 eggs a week, and I've found enough people to sell all of those eggs to. That pays for their own feed and I get enough profit for myself, so I'm satasfied. :-D I know how to butcher chickens on my own, so I can also sell chicken (Haven't gotten that far yet). On Tuesday I had to butcher 2 chickens for dinner because mom wanted to make something but we didn't have chicken. Tomorrow I have to butcher 3 more. I don't really like butchering chickens. It's a pretty nasty job. I especially hate it when the flies find the chicken and the 'Unwanted For Cooking" pile. They drive me nuts. One thing that I really don't like is eating the chicken. I'm the only one in the family that doesn't like eating my chickens (or the eggs). So I do all that butchering and don't eat ANY of it. But sometimes I have to. I get really lucky if Mom doesn't have me eat everything on my plate. So far I haven't had to eat either John or Mark. Poor fellas. I'm that way about the goats milk, too. I do the milking but I HATE HATE HATE the milk. Why does it have to be this way? Maybe I should stop being so picky. Oh, one more thing, we may be butchering one or two of our goats this Sunday (no, not as a sacrifice). I am SO happy happy happy. I told you I wasn't a goat lover. But hopefully I don't have to eat any of it. Maybe I can skip dinner for the next 5 years...
I have more to say, but I don't have time to type it all out right now...maybe I will next year...:-P
