Chris and I both enjoyed a long weekend for Easter. We were both able to have Friday off and boy was it a HUGE help around the farm. Friday was the hottest day of the weekend reaching 87 degrees! On this really hot Good Friday we were out in the sun adding new gates and adjusting old fencing. Probably not the best day to do the task, but it needed to get done. Chris also began tilling the garden up for me. Everything was going so great until the tiller broke! At that point it was time to quit.
Saturday we got up early and got to work fixing the tiller at the shop. The bad news is that its still broken. The good news is that its fixable! Now we just need to get the parts and slap it all back together so we can get out there and finish tilling!
Sunday we sold 10 extra roosters! The house has gotten very quiet since then. I was sad to see some of them go. But we are now saving a bunch on our feed costs which is important, especially with the baby chicks that we have been hatching.
With the new pasture done and the goats locked out of the yard we now seem to have a problem more than ever with goats jumping the fence. It used to be just coco and misty romping around, but now its like 10 goats! I am guessing they are not liking the brushy pasture we set up and miss the fresh grass. I am not sure what we are going to do to rectify this problem, but we need to do something. I really do not like the goats outside the fence line. I would also really like to keep them out of my yard!
The pretty trees around the yard are now in bloom and i LOVE it! The dogwood starting flowering today and the pretty purple trees have been showing color for a few days now.
Well it sure is a pretty afternoon, I better get out and get some work done!
