Kidding season is in full swing with a short break now. Count so far is bucks 4, does 1. We start again first week in April. I just love seeing the kids running and bucking around the house. I am a little afraid for them as I walked out to feed the other day and a coyote was standing by my porch. By the time I got my gun, it was gone. I really need to get a handgun to wear around the farm on my hip for those instances. I hate to kill wild animals, but I can't lose my kids or chickens to predators. Once they get one of them, they will be back for more. I had one male coyote that just kept coming in the daytime and was so bold that he would not even run away if yelled at him, waving my arms. He just stood there and scratched the ground, marking his territory! My brother took care of him for me but now he lives too far away :(
Kelsee and I have been very busy with school but we will both be done by next year and we will be Happy! I am finally adjusting to the empty nest since she married and bought a house down the road. I was really sad at first but there are definite advantages to having no kids in the house. Mark and I have more time for each other, and the house is much cleaner. I no longer have to pick up after her, even though she also helped with the housework sometimes. She is finding out now what is like to be responsible for other's messes! I think she finally knows who the house elf is that cleans in the night!
Anyway she was a beautiful bride!
