Hoping for goats

Here Chick Chick Chick

Hunter and I got busy first thing in the morning clearing more tall weeds beside the house and continued working on the “creek”. My mom and Payton went to work on laundry and my dad was working on fixing the waterline to the barn. The weed eater and I had finally decided to get along and we were making pretty good progress. Hunter was cutting down pokey milk weed that was too big for the weed eater to cut down and was not having much luck. He would clip the, and they would fall on top of him. Those plants are the worst, they sprayed everything when the weed eater cut through them.

The new electrician we had contacted came buy to take a look about getting it hooked up and gave us a quote right away. It would be another couple weeks before it would be hooked up since they are so booked. I was very impressed with him and called Chad with an update on that. We were hoping for electric to be hooked up while I was there but it is what it is. 

Mom and Payton got back from doing laundry and going to the grocery store. Then Payton and Papa (my dad) hopped in the truck and headed to the stock sale. Hunter opted to stay and help me out. We continued working on clearing the fence line from a rocky trail down to the fence. This is when I think I was exposed to poison ivy but did not know quite yet. We weren’t quite sure what Payton and Papa would show up with from the sale but at this point I was hoping for a hundred goats. To clear all this brush. LOL. They did come home with 9 Ayman Cemani silkie mix chicks. Dad was very surprised at the cost of livestock now. They are definitely not 1990 prices anymore.

Payton got put to work when she got back to the farm since she was out having “fun” all morning. She started hauling the brush to a pile down by the front of the house. And We continued on the “creek.” We had made quite the progress but still hadn’t quite completed it. We were only about half way done but we were exhausted. It was quitting time for Hunter and I. Payton went up to start working on clearing out the 3-inch layer of chicken feces off the floor of the chicken coop. I’m sure she just wanted to hang out with the new chicks.
