Zootown trip again today, cubbie will go, Poppie will have the day off with Boy.

Mokie, Cubbie and I are going to the Zoo today. I hope it doesn't take all day. I would really like to shop and get home. I have to pick up some things to make more soap and some cheese. We are no longer bottle feeding the two bum, they are both 2 months old this week, so will  have lots more milk to use. They are not happy about the change but then again no baby likes it when you take his bottle or teat away, human or animal. Poppie is going to change the tiller motor to the big tiller for the little tractor, he and Boy are going to get the garden ready of planting soon. The green house is coming along and will be ready, we hope, to plant. Still the problem of the roof to solve but it will be solved one way or the other soon.

I will be making cheese regularly real soon so have to get the kinds and what I want to do with them set in my mind. Yogie loves to make soap and Booboo bread and they both help with cheese. They have 5 more weeks of school, when they participate in the libraries reading program, they were first and second in their category last year so that was great and they had lots of fun. We will be weaning baby goats starting in the next few week from their mommas so that will be something the girls will get to help with and enjoy, the babies will be moved to a weaning pen until the are a little older then returned to the doe pen once they are not wanting to nurse. The kids will all get to play with the babies more and it helps the babies be much more friendly, they are actually very friendly this year already. We spend alot of time with them so they are used to coming up for attention. Two will go to Morgans, one to the Herbalists, and one is sold so I will be down to four baby does, and two withers, one lamb and one new buckling, that I am trading for. The bucking won't go into the weaning pen as they are viable bucks as young as 6 weeks and don't want any babies having babies a bad thing.

Well I will be off soon so have to get the girls ready for school will drop them off on the way to Zootown, Poppie will enjoy his time with Boy. We may have Bug and Daughters kids alot of the summer and Curious on Tuesday's so we will see how it goes. It is nice to have the little ones around but sometimes it makes wood getting hard to schedule. Looking forward to the warm days of summer since the lovely mild days of spring have yet to appear. Have a nice day, I know mine will be busy if Cubbie has her say.. tomorrow.
