Read this and though it was worth repeating

Because as I see it, we all have a choice: You can wake up pissed off or you can focus on everything you’re grateful for. You have to open your mind and your heart and accept everything that is happening to you, good and bad. Right now, I’m the happiest I’ve ever been. I’m living a no-bullshit kind of life. Just waking up every day is an orgasm — an emotional orgasm. I know there are more ahead of me. I live for that.

Death

Sadness
Despair
Blackness
Scary
Dark
Gone
Tears
Broken
Silence
Relief
Remembered
Free

There were many a good times that I will remember because only in memory can the order and goodness that you were prevail.

Rest well, Hook!!!

Catch up

A month and a half and no posts most mean that nothing is happening at the farm. Au contraire!!!

Goats - Added two more goats for a total of 5 or is that 7. Yes, one of the goats has twins and is due December 29. Christmas goats. On a sadder note, Papa George restaurant closed. Now who to sell goats too?

Dogs - Saint is getting big. 57.5 lbs this week and still growing. Another 50 pounds to go. Bogey is bogey, small and always cold.

Kitchen - about 90% done. Cabinet baseboard, window/door trim and some type of back splash yet. And the shelf unit idea I have for over the brick chimney.

Attic Room - Got some of the pine planking going up on the walls. Already three quarts of stain - unbelievable. I thought two cans would do all of it and not even half way done. Most of the electrical is done - just one more track light, a few outlets and switches to add. Ceiling fan eventually when I get that high. I'll have to think about what to do with the floor. Sand and stain or cover it. Hmmm.

Man Cave - made a small seating and TV area. It works great for having the guys over to watch a game. Starting to get chilly now and I will have to look at heating options. Maybe those bar type patio heaters or a kerosene heater. Right now I got a torpedo but the burning kerosene tends to get obnoxious.

Chickens - Yes, chickens are coming. They should have been here this week but the hatchery had an issue. They should be here on Tuesday or Wednesday of next week. I will have to create a coop for them. Or simply let them live with the goats. Anyway, I have to keep them at 95 degrees for a few weeks.

Well, there is the catch up.
