Sunday

We had a beautiful day today. Church was great. I'm loving this Sunday school thing. I'm really loving our church. I'm learning so much and really feel like it's where the Lord has led us. A good feeling. Not comfortable all of the time, but I don't expect that anymore. I don't need to be patted on the head and told what a good little girl I'm being, I need to be challenged and not necessarily confronted, that's the wrong word, but guided.. I've lost the right word tonight.. from the pulpit. Church doesn't need to always be comfortable. Today it was good and I can't wait to get strength together to get started working with the young'uns That will be a blessing and a definite challenge.

Then we came home and moved cows. Rob is convinced my horses are spawns of satan.. we go through this every winter. His cow gets skinny because my fat horses won't let her eat. My fat horses probably don't let anyone eat. We need to put more hay down there than we do, but I can't say anything right at this moment. His cow is skinny. And that stupid calf is still nursing. I think that's a big part of why she's not gaining, but .. well .. my fat horses... But we got her and the calf up here. Almost got Callie moved up too. That's the other cow. She looks good. But she was also being a toad. So she is now a funny looking horse that's hanging with Sonny, my big fat paint horse. When Rob went down there she was sharing a bale of hay with him. We have 4 cows and a bull.. three wild unsociable cows; Gladys, Callie, and Coco (Gladys and Coco are the mother/daughter team that moved up here now and are in the emu pen terrorizing the poor emu) and then we have Daphne, the sweet, beautiful, brown eyed strange looking goat that lives in the goat pen... she's a holstein calf. Actually she has been off her feed a bit the past couple of days. We've been starting to wean her off her bottle and I think we need to put her back on it with straight goat's milk to get her gut back in order.

Speaking of goats.. no babies. Sigh. I'm ready for babies. Andi thinks that Sadie may have twins.. that would be so, so awesome. I'm not wild about the buck that I had. He was a lamancha cross and kind of a brat. Heavy built, but short.  Sades is big and long enough to compensate for it, so I'm hoping for a couple of doelings out of her. That would rock. Andi thinks Sher is also bred, but may only be carrying a singleton, wouldn't surprise me. Same with Izzy, Iz is a first freshener, so that's what I expect. I don't really think that Jesse is pregnant, but if she is, I only expect one out of her too. She's not sure about Sassy. I don't think that she's pregnant and if she isn't, I think I'm going to end up selling her. I've had her out there with three bucks and she hasn't taken with any of them :(

Well the dogs are being obnoxious. and I have to clean out the shower before I can take a shower. I used some deep conditioner the other night, olive oil, and it made the bottom of the shower super slippery; so I have to clean it off before I take a shower. Then I gotta hit the bed. Tomorrow's band day. I'm ready :)
