Well, here we are at the last day of March. The calendar says it is spring, so I suppose it’s safe to officially declare it.
A lot going on here and I haven’t been as great about updates I would really like to be, but here I am getting one in before March is over.
Bundle is doing well. He has grown tremendously. Since we intend to keep him, unfortunately, he had to go from being a bull to a steer and he still hasn’t forgiven us for that. He doesn’t trust us the way he did, but hopefully that will change. For now, I can tell you he seems very happy running and playing napping out in the fields. That can be enough.
There are more chicks in my life now. I didn’t know I was going to get them, but they left the feed store with me one day. There were twelve, but right away one already looked to be sick. Sure enough, the little one didn’t make it more than a day. I named him Terrence before we buried him. That was the first chick I lost and it was depressing. You want to see them grow and become what they are. The remaining eleven are doing really well, and growing fast. They were an unknown bunch, so only time will tell what we have, but I’m sure well know soon enough. Until they are closer to grown, Terrence will be the only one named.
We have also added two little goats. They’re funny little things. Curious and playful. Devilish little creatures really. Boots and Buffalo are their names.
And in other news, I managed to set a field on fire. I’m nothing if I’m not trouble. It all turned out fine. The fire department came and put it out. But it certainly was frightening. All that burned was dried up scrub grass and now it’s all coming back in greener than ever. Which is good, since it wasn’t my property…
I hope everyone has a beautiful April.
