Hi
I know its been awhile. Took time off for Lent. Afterward I have been so busy I haven't had time to do much of anything online except pay bills. Those never stop.
Catch up time. I have three hives of bees going with one ready to have the honey harvested. One goat is hugely pregnant and should pop any day. All told I have ten at the moment.
Bought some ducks and more chickens. Older new chickens moved from the house to the small coop to the larger chicken area. Came across some Amercaunas. Had to have some so I have four small ones still in the house until they are large enough to go outside. They need feathers to be fully formed. Once they reach that stage they will go outside to the small coop.
Youngest grandson turns one this weekend.
Camper is prepped to be towed to my river property for the summer. Boat prep is next on the "to do" list.
Got in some turkey hunting, notice I said hunting, not killing. Called some up close enough to hear them gobble, but never close enough to see them.
Thought checking my bees while decked out in turkey hunting attire would be a good idea since I was covered head to toe and had netting over my face and neck. One little stinger found its way in between net and face so suffered an above the eye sting that made me look like I had gone a few rounds with Mr. Ali. Another life lesson learned. They can see you in camo and they can find the smallest opening to let you know to leave them alone.
We had a long wet spell that has now turned into a long dry spell.
Kids in northwest Arkansas and I have an agreement that I visit once a month. So far in the past four weeks I have been there twice and going again this weekend. We see how well that plan has been working.....
Next weekend two of the kids and their families are joining me in St. Louis for a Cardinals baseball game and a weekend of activities in the area.
Son's football team has made the playoffs. Traveled to Mississippi, Arkansas and Louisiana to watch him play this year.
So, how has everyone been doing?

Good to see you back susie! I live my life through others adventures these days and just have to tell you I got winded just reading about what you have been up to!! 😊
Great to see you....what a wonderful update.....baby goats, I'm so jealous. We will need pics when that happens!
I've been busy as usual. I have an upcoming run to Lexington planned in the near future, maybe next weekend. After that, I'm going to try to head toward Virginia for a few people.
I've got a new guy starting Monday....I hope he is as promising as he sounds. We will see.
We got a new kitten. My husband has named him "Meatloaf"....he is a Maine *. I expect he will be a monster once he is grown. Murder Mittens is NOT a fan....but Pissy wants to play with him sooooo bad.
My middle child is dating a guy that has a pontoon boat....so I see some water adventures coming this summer.
Welcome back Susie. We've been wondering what happened to you.
