More This and That











My son in law Brannon has a friend going through a divorce. The friend would be leaving the home and couldn't take his sheep so was looking for a good home for them. Yes, we brought them home with us from the Christmas weekend. Poor sheep had to ride 6 hours in the back of our pickup. It has a camper shell so they stayed warm and dry, just a long strange ride for them. When we got home Molly got loose before we got her to the pen and has been hiding in the woods until today. This morning she came in the backyard and followed me to the pen. I opened the pen and she followed me in. Molly spent the day in the pen with Charlie and Missy. When the sun started going down she went under the fence and went back to the woods. I think she will do this for a couple of days till she gets use to us and the pen. At least she is spending her days with us now. They are soay sheep and don't get very big. You don't shear them either. They shed their wool in the spring. Never thought I would have sheep but they are actually very sweet.We now have the new dog pen finished. They are loving it. And we moved some of the chickens into 3 of the new chicken pens. They are having a ball scratching around in a new area. We are going to tear down the old big chicken pen and build more of the smaller so we can separate breeds, hens sitting, sick, etc.

Philip has tagged me for a meme. I am suppose to list 8 random things about myself.




1. I get overwhelmed a lot but am blessed to have a husband I can vent with. He gives me suggestions and helps me work things out.




2. I love to read and use to read every night and spare minute. Lately I just listen to books on tapes while I do chores, etc.




3. I am a loner. I don't like shopping trips and lunches. I prefer being here with the animals.




4. I would love to go on survivor. I wouldn't last very long as I would be bossy with the lazy ones and get voted off. I don't understand how anyone would go on survivor not knowing how to build a shelter or a fire or what plants are edible.




5. I use to be a speed demon. Always in a rush driving but now I am one of those little old ladies on the road. The only difference is I can see over the steering wheel and my hair isn't blue.




6. I tend to sting with my words. Someone wants a pity party but hasn't done anything to help themselves gets stung by me. Lazy but complaining...sting. Well, you get my drift. I am too fast with words when I should just bite my tongue.




7. I love riding roller coasters but they terrify me. I am hoping William will ride one with me someday.




8. I have started reading more frugal articles and want to see how inexpensive William and I can live and how much we can save. There is more work involved but its more rewarding.




I am suppose to tag 8 others but I am not sure who has or hasn't been tagged. Feel free to count yourself tagged and let me know so I can read your random things.
