Saturday Farm Report

Correction; She is Dr. Maureen. Mea culpa. Carry on.

Today is cleaning, cleaning, cleaning. Company is coming for dinner, and the living room is still in the dining room. Floors are finished and purty, and furniture needs to be replaced. We've had some interruptions, but that has been Job One today.

The vet was out this morning. Yesterday Bess was in heat, and was, well, lets just say she was confused and became interested in Selena, our older doe. I, for whatever stupid reason, ran into the pasture and got between them, suddenly realizing that that was not a smart place to be. Thankfully, I was able to get the goat out without becoming involved in any cow romance myself. Today, Selena was limping hard on a leg that was injured about 3 years ago, so Dr. Michelle came out to check on things. Two shots and vet wrap later, (bill to come...) Selena feels better, and so does Mary.

Mary had a riding lesson, I've had coffee, and we're waiting for John to come home with lunch. It's a beautiful day, except for having to spend it inside, cleaning! A fall chill in the air, and a heavy breeze; not quite a wind. But bright, warm sunshine everywhere. Hope it is by you, too!

Those floors were already looking mighty nice when I saw them last week! When can we expect pictures of the finished job?

And did you say you laid them yourself???
