This past week was a difficult roller coaster kind of week. Unfortunately it seems as though the ups and downs aren’t quite over yet. I tend to get very wordy when I write, so I decided to go for short and sweet this time and see if I could pull it off.
This week:
We started back […]

Why is it that this sweet little goat, who is sooooo incredibly picky about what she’ll eat, (she turns up her nose at apples, potato peels, carrots, and her mineral block… and doesn’t even especially like hay!)…..
…has somehow decided that black trash bags are delicious?!

About a year ago I posted on my previous blog (and copied it here: http://woodstone.homeschooljournal.net/2005/08/) about some things…country living things…that perplexed me. Seeing as how I’ve lived in the city most of my life, there were (are) lots of things about living in the country that I’m still trying to figure out (Like why […]

Horse camp is over for another year, and R is sad… She’d be happy riding all day, every day!…but I’m ready for it to be over. I was getting tired of all the driving back and forth!

It’s been really hot here lately (yesterday… 102!) and I don’t feel like cooking. In fact, I don’t feel much like eating, either. Unfortunately, regardless of the weather, my family still comes in the house at dinnertime expecting to find something on the table for them to eat.
Lately I find myself trying to think of […]

After lots of thought, I decided to trade Rosie the goat back to the man we got her from. I was […]

I keep meaning to sit down and write a little about our homeschooling… Unfortunately my intentions about getting back to the homeschool schedule we had before dh came home from the hospital aren’t translating well into action. In other words, I can’t write about homeschooling because we still haven’t gotten back in a routine (even […]

Since my last post, we’ve added to the barnyard with a friend for Betty (our kid). Goats are herd animals, and don’t do well alone so as soon as Betty was settled in I started looking for a friend for her.
And I found Rosie…
Rosie is a four month old nubian/alpine cross (Betty is a pure-bred […]
