Almost forgot...

I (sort of) complained about being stresssssed...well I forgot the most stressing thing of all...helping my goater friend dehorn a new batch of babies--no pictures. It takes her 10 seconds per horn, and the kid doe or kid buck do not experience discomfort by that...but they sure don't like to be held tightly. Although she had a box made for that specific procedure, I had to hold their heads (one-at-a-time) from the up and down, and, side to side jerky motions.

One Momma


Since it was the first time I helped, and had never seen it done, she told me exactly what to do and how to do it...and she encouraged me by saying that I did very well. Nevertheless, it was much, much more different than anything else, that I've helped her with.

I was the one stressed, not the goats, and not the goater...who laughed--kindly--at me. I was most concerned with hurting the baby goats than anything else.


It all finished well, even, holding each one of them in my arms while she gave them their tetanus shots.
Another Momma and two kids...in the back is the goat's 'igloo'


And Papa...his name is Snickers...such a gentle, gentle buck...relaxing and eating his alfalfa hay.
He produces very gentle offspring.


I'll leave you with this:

Good morning, Girlies!

Started to download pictures and camera ran out of 'juice'...hold on while it recharges...




If I were to say 'I've been busy' it would not be so very accurate. I've been BUSY, and the resulting 'stress' caused to be 'under the weather' ...but now I'm on my way back to being my regular, impossible-to-get-a-word-in, self. So...there. All's well, getting busy again.



Here is a summary:



Helped my Mom pack/re-pack/un-pack/re-pack for her trip with her friends. She'll be gone until the middle of October. (She is having a great time, thank you, Lord)







Finished/completed the alterations for Mrs.#4's dress and jacket, for her sister's wedding. Mrs.#4 was the Maid-of-Honour. She looked beautiful, and the baby-girl-4b, said she was the most beautiful one in the whole wedding (in my opinion, she probably was, but...don't ask me)








"Almost finished" (three seams to go, and pressing) working on Mrs. #5's Mom's courtain/valances. The color that came out violet is actually more wine/berry color. They are 65" wide, and about 25" long...Mrs. #5 picked the fabric. She is a good colorist.




While resting to recover from being 'under the weather' I read several books...actually finished a couple and started three more...and...I always have those books, that take me forever, to read, they usuall average 4. [they are either booooring, or more boring, but I like to read]



The Genesis Factor reveals the Hand of God in the Hebrew Text, very cool!





Showtime For The Sheep is very booooring. I did not see the movie, I will not! see such Romish trash, it deceives the untaught, but T.A. McMahon gives his opinion--he can have it.










Hazardous Materials--Wow-o-wow. This one will blow you out of the water!




Getting close to completing the making of that 'mile-a-minute' (not really) baby blue afghan for a customer. What I appreciate about this 'mile-a-minute' method is that it can be done in hot weather. Once it is put together, then it becomes a 'blanket' which would be too hot to work with in 90F--even with the AC on.






And working on a snowman vey slowly.






Planning more interesting meals for the cooler weather. It seems that summer does not inspire me to make delicious meals, and since Fall is here...better stuff is coming.




I'll leave you with this:
