Has it really ben a month since I last posted !?!

Wow, I haven't posted in quite a while I guess. Here's some picture updates:

Billy is growing fast and SO spoiled. He gets to come out of the pasture and wander around the yard with us. He just follows us around, content as can be. He's so sweet.
Mabel has turned out to be the most mischievous of our goats. We still have a bit to learn apparently...she ate the rope off the gate and had a party out in the barn. When I found her, she had her head buried in the goat food bag which was pretty ripped open. Half eaten paper everywhere. Things knocked over. She had a good time. She gets jealous easily too. I really love their personalities.
We also got some sheep. Our first two, Earl and Pearl are seen here on their first day. This is the pasture they are to eat. Start mowing!!!!
Another pic of Earl and Pearl.
A close up of Earl (our ONLY boy-lucky guy). They have the SWEETEST faces. Long eyelashes and soft features.
Then we got ten more...have only named a few. The all brown one is Cinnamon. There's a Freckles and a Gretchen out there too. They are skiddish so I haven't had a chance to get really good pics yet. They have really done a job on our pasture since we've had them! They are Katahdin/Dorper crosses. Considered "hair sheep," which means their fleece will shed off naturally-no shearing. I am told I will not be able to spin any of it because it is too short but I'm thinking-don't they spin dog fur and similar shorter stapled stuff. I'll just have to check into it or look into some other sheep or goats. We have another pasture they haven't even touched yet! I hope they are hungry.
Ella's first last day of school...Field Day with her friends Victoria and Kaitlyn. They are so cute!
Allie and Ella on the four wheeler. She loves being on this. And she's always saying go faster, go faster. Scary, she's a little daredevil. We went to the Bullitt County Fair tonight. Ella got on every big ride she could. I thought she looked as though she were going to throw up on one or two of them but she didn't. She told us as were leaving that she did throw up but swallowed it. Yeah, gross thought, sorry. I guess she wasn't about to let any puke spoil her fun cause she was non stop all night. She's a tough little girl. I really wish she wouldn't have done that though. I guess it wouldn't have been cool for her to throw up on herself and everyone else on the rides either. It's a toss up unfortunately. I wish I could have known what was going through her head.

I'm still working on my classes. Headed for 3 or 4 midterms all at once. Getting a TON of stuff done on the barn and house. I've repaired boards on the outside of the barn, made two stalls, fixed the outer animal shelter and added a loft to it, landscaped the front of the house, painted the foundation of the house, painted our living room, changed our sunroom into another bedroom, and my garden is just growing like crazy. Nothing has gotten into it cause it's surrounded by dogs. It's still early though, I could end up killing a few plants. We have one peach and two apples on our trees, the frost really did a number on them. We have a ton of grapes showing up on our vines too.

I have been looming a little. I feel guilty when I do though cause I know I should be working on my schoolwork. So when I finish an assignment I allow myself to knit a while. I still very much want to get the website back up and everything else but I haven't figured out to manage my time in a way that I can fit everything in. I have started making some stuff for baskets my Gma's Homemaker's Club will raffle off this winter. A little at a time. Be thankful for what you can do when you can...
