Miscellaneous busy summer stuff

 


Our black goat died. He didn't come very healthy, thrived on the bottle but not so much when he was on solids, especially after he got bloat.  Sad as he was a really nice goat, never thought I'd say that.

We watched Part I of Mass of the Ages. It was excellent. We are looking forward to Part II. Watch HERE

Congratulations to our niece who was baptized!

Poppy found a monarch caterpillar at Galadriel's house and  decided to bring it home. On the car ride home the caterpillar turned into a crysalis... had has now since hatched into a beautiful butterfly.



BWAHAHAHAHA!!! My kids make really good pancakes from scratch, i found it hilarious that one would buy premade pancakes in a bag imported from France! 😂



We went on a fabulous field trip to the Mackenzie Center. The younger kids did "animal tracks" and various ways to identify what kind of critter has been in the area. The old kids did "fire building". All had a great time! Our leader was spectacular. I didn't get any pictures of the older kids.
































We stopped at the apple orchard afterwards.

Rosie doing some artwork.


I enjoyed a delicious breakfast with Kili. The best part was it had zero calories. 😂



Sanding and refinishing the living room floor.

Open spaces make for a great dojo.


Picking plums which later would be jelly




Went back up to stay with Galadriel a couple days while I did a little visiting.
At Galadriel's we cleaning up one of the upstairs rooms. 
Belated birthday gifts... baby things of course.
Hot air balloon!

Chickens hanging out on the tractor.


Storm following me on the way to Mass up in River Falls...



You can see just how dark an ominous it was behind me by how dark it was in the side mirror. Yikes.

Later we made some freezer meals for Galadriel... I didn't know how many we made but later she said it was 28 meals!  It went so fast. 

Stormy weather and trying to get the windows closed before we were flooded with water inside the house!


A cucumber in our garden.


We have 3 extra goats living with us. The male, Hank, will go up to Galadriel and Celeborn's goat farm. The 2 females Marge and Ash will go to Samwise and Belladonna's (We didn't name them)
