Goober Died

Little Goober was looking stronger and stronger but this weekend he just died. We have no idea why. Now Ray is upset his companion is missing. We are hoping to release Ray soon. Jeff just worries with him blind in one eye how he will take care of himself. Jean came and went. We canned large amounts. 30 jars of blackberry and black raspberry, 12 apple, 24 peach preserves, 24 stewed tomatos, 48 green beans, 36 candied carrots, 12 lime pickles, 24 bread and butter pickles, and 24 sweet pickles. It was alot of work but worth it.

This is my milk goat. I haven't named her yet but, was thinking along the lines of nanny. W#e decided to get her to nurse the goober. Josh Cooper up in Meadow Bridge sold her to me. I meet him and his wife at the poultry auction.

Little Goober was happy we got him the goat. He is nursing well and growing everyday. I thought he might die but, here's to determination. I went and picked about a gallon of blackberries before work this morning. Now I am picking thorns from my fingers and trying to remove the stains.

Janice's mom came in and brought one of her dinner plate dahlia's. Isn't it beautiful. Her mother Shirley just like my mom's name loves to grow her flowers. She should get some sort of blue ribbon for this beauty.

Lisa's wedding was wonderful on Friday night. She was beautiful and Jason and his kids were great fun. They make a really good couple. I hope they have many many wonderful years together. Jeff spent some time talking with someone else about some piercings Glad they didn't play show and tell. We jump up Saturday and clean up the house some, picked some berries, feed everything and off to the poultry sale. I refrained greatly an only bought 8 little bannies. Then we headed to Jeff's brother's house. Garland and Sharon are really nice to spend time with. We all discussed why his pond in leaking and trying to figure out ways to make it stop. I made the kids chicken wings and hot potato salad for there return home lunch Sunday. I am so glad they are back. I missed them greatly. Then we were off to Josh Coopers farm and bought a milking goat to feed the baby deer. She is able to nurse right from the goat. We need to build a milking station pretty quick.

Well I have to work tomorrow. It sucks. My boss thinks I need to be here even though everyone else is off. We need it off for the 4th and I need time to get ready for the wedding. Lisa is taking the plunge maybe I can get a pic for you of the party. Black Knight Country Club. Were going with Paige and Robert and my buddy Sally.

The little goober is still making it. I am getting about 4 eggs a day right now. When my others get old enough I should have about 60 a day.
