Any place for a good design?<br /><br />Hey Karen! We're not sure when we're coming into town...I'll let you know when we decide something.

I love how the goats thought they were hidden cuz they couldn't see you! Typical reaction for children too, huh?! Is Bob actually considering an eleventh kittie?!!! Wow! I agree though that orange tabbies are fabulous! Matthew has been the best cat ever for all of us! Very affectionate and goofy (which was his original name when we adopted him from the shelter!). When are you guys coming into town next month?<br /><br />KarenKarennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2838004838772936244.post-38809139282672491022010-05-23T11:52:17.431-05:002010-05-23T11:52:17.431-05:00I'm still setting out seedlings, too - also go...I'm still setting out seedlings, too - also got my potatoes planted just yesterday, got them in the mail from the Wood Prairie folks up in Maine.<br /><br />To-do lists are a blessing and a curse in my book.

Until he decided he wanted to water Mom instead of the plants. :)<br /><br />Hi Mama Pea -- My hubby asked me if we were raising goats or ostriches. Haha!<br /><br />Hello Tammy -- Thanks! Yes, it's hard to be angry or sad when your little ones are smiling and giggling. As long as they are not giggling because they just put mud down their brother's pants ... ;)<br /><br />Hey Leigh -- Thanks for the comfrey info. Maybe I'll try splitting my plants early next spring. And thanks for the scythe info. We've got a lot of alfalfa, and a scythe would certainly come in handy.<br /><br />Hi Bob! That's great news. We will try our darndest to spend time with the kitties. It may be difficult because Pepper likes to move her litters around a lot. When they get old enough (4 or 5 weeks) we can try to steal him away. Let us know what Brenda decides. Have fun moving all your stuff to your new home!Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09941280453570504094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2838004838772936244.post-47984889441470505292010-05-22T21:44:41.357-05:002010-05-22T21:44:41.357-05:00We may have a home for the orange tabby.

Any chance we could talk you guys into handling that one as much as you can to get it comfy with people?Bobnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2838004838772936244.post-17999570296367175412010-05-22T11:48:07.915-05:002010-05-22T11:48:07.915-05:00Your helper is sooo cute!!!
About my comfrey, I o...Your helper is sooo cute!!!<br /><br />About my comfrey, I ordered 25 crowns from a small family business. The were very generous and sent 5 extras. I understand that common comfrey spreads almost too well. I have the Russian variety, which is less prone to spreading. I believe though, that the roots can be divided, so that may be your best bet. <br /><br />I appreciate your comment about my grass problem too. It's comforting to know that mine isn't a common problem!<br /><br />What I can tell you about the snath & scythe, is to not get the American style. In order to cut properly, the blade angle has to be parallel to the ground. That can't be done with an American snath unless one is very short. Dan is 5'9" and since the handles aren't adjustable, he can't get the blade at the proper angle. We just ordered a European model from <a href="http://www.mysticprairie.net/index.php" rel="nofollow">Mystic Prairie</a>, though there are other sellers for these out there. The European style is sized according to one's height, has a straighter snath, and adjustable handles. Mystic Prairie has quite a few good video demonstrations on YouTube. I'll have to report on how well he likes this one, but he's definitely convinced that the American snath isn't all that great to work with.

The kid goats . . . omigosh! What a picture! "We can't see you so you can't see us!"<br /><br />It's always amazing that we eventually get our gardens in each spring. What a gargantuan chore! But worth every ache and pain. And bug bite. And sweat soaked set of underwear. ;o)Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2838004838772936244.post-64551342477959008782010-05-21T08:40:19.507-05:002010-05-21T08:40:19.507-05:00Cute, cute, CUTE!
