It's been a busy week and a half, with Jamison on vacation. But, it's back to work for him tomorrow :(...we'll all miss him! But he and Uncle Steve got the floor and 3 walls up! We're waiting for a lumber delivery tomorrow so they can put up the last wall and the roof rafters. Then we'll go get the plywood for the walls and hay loft and then the metal roofing...it's so close to being a barn I can't stand it :) I'll post pics tomorrow.

I haven't blogged in almost a month! Since my last blog, Buddy seems to be doing better, I've sold Pablo & Picasso to a nice pet home, Jamison has finished the goat fence and he and my Uncle Steve have started to build my goat barn! Jamison let the baby ducks out with the adult ducks so they can swim and free range. We're just trying to beat the heat at Little Bit Farm and keep the critters as cool as possible. Hope everyone is enjoying their summer :)

So we had some excavation done yesterday, so Jamison can finally finish my goat pasture. Hopefully there are no more goats on the loose anymore! Jamison has vacation in 2 weeks and the goat barn will be built...I can hardly wait!

It's going to be a HOT day at Little Bit Farm with highs in the low 90's! Buddy is still limping but seems to be more comfortable. Heading out to water all of my critters on this hot summer day and then bringing the girls swimming! Enjoy the sun ALL!

I found out yesterday my boy, Buddy, had foundered in both front feet...he's overweight and got too much green grass :( Luckily, my gram & the farrier caught it in time, but he's still in pain...poor boy
:( 22 pills, 2x a day for a week and icing both front feet!

The plans for the goat barn are drawn up and we're getting ready to order the lumber...this is SO exciting! If all goes as planned, we'll have a goat barn built by the middle of July! Time to start looking for more goats to fill it up, right Maggie? J/K...I don't want to be kicking myself this winter when I have more goats to carry water pails out to, etc. :)

Yesterday was a fun day...my pal Meredith, the kids and I went to the TSC swap in Waterville. They brought 3 bantam chickens and sold them and I came home with the 2 bunnies I brought. We were the only ones there, lol. Apparently everyone had sold out early and gone home. It was good because there was no competition and we couldn't come home with any more critters! We hit a few yard sales on the way home, and went home to play with the kids in the SUN!

Oh, I forgot to mention on the way there we stopped by KFC for a little lunch. As we're ordering at the drive through, Meredith's young rooster decides to start crowing in protest of the chicken lunches we were ordering, LOL.
