Newest additions to the farm! I had told hubs I didn't really need anything for Mother's Day, but then we stopped at the feed store on the way home, and I decided 3 goslings and 6 guineas were the perfect presents 😁

Make it make sense!! The one on the left is AFTER they applied my insurance. So basically the self-pay discount was better than my insurance but if I didn't have them bill the insurance, it wouldn't go towards my deductible 🤬🤬🤬

Another new baby! Fai kidded with this sweet little girl. Anyone want to make name suggestions? My oldest is looking for an Arthurian name for her, so bonus points for anything like that😁

Haven't been on here in forever. Who knows if anyone will even see this, but I thought I'd provide proof of life with pics of our newest baby goats: Connemara, Boba & Clyde😊

Got my vehicle registration renewal notice in the mail today, and I immediately went online and completed it! Please clap 😂 This was quite the achievement considering last year hubs had to pay a huge fine because I had forgotten to renew it for almost a year😬

How do you pronounce the spice "anise"?? I've always pronounced it with the "I" making a long E sound, but I was just listening to an audiobook and was thrown when they did not. I had no idea people were walking around saying an-iss.

And once again I'm asking myself, why can't Amazon get packages to me in less than a week when I can make a purchase from AUSTRALIA and it gets here faster???? I placed an order from Walmart this week & had it the next day 🙃 Amazon is just getting worse.

It's been a bit of a rollercoaster day: started with finding out I'm going to be a great aunt (how is that possible? I'm too young!) then found out my sister just passed away. I should feel something more, but it merely felt like hearing some friendly acquaintance had died.

I had nothing against my sister: we just weren't close. When I came along, she was out of the house w/ a toddler of her own. We exchanged pleasantries at family gatherings twice a year until our family as a whole stopped getting together. I haven't seen her in a few years now.

Thought I saw a frog jump in the grass in front of me...it was not a frog.

Big scare with Jellybean last week: we had only had her less than a week before we found out she had parvo😭 But I'm happy to report she has fully recovered and is back her her cheerful puppy self! 🎉 And she's now had her first round of puppy shots to avoid any more scares.

PLEASE take a moment to research things you don't know before writing about them. Having a hard time listening to my current audiobook because there's a goat farm, and they keep referring to a goat giving birth as "whelping." Goats kid: they don't whelp (dogs do).

I spend hours down research rabbit holes for single sentences to feel authentic, but this person couldn't manage a 10 second google search to confirm they knew the right term?

I don't think Libby understands how percentages work... Also, I've only listened to the first chapter of this one 🤷‍♂️

Hit the "gym" today. I've never liked working out for the sake of working out, but I've found a way for me to get a workout & feel like I've accomplished something at the same time: cutting grass with a scythe. The goats get fresh grass & I get hot & sweaty😂

Anyone need to watch some bunnies munching on sweet potatoes this morning? I am so happy these little ones are doing so well! We just weaned them off their milk!
