A couple of videos for today. We start with goat shenanigans of a seemingly stuck Zanzi.
A rainy birthday party!

Checking on the crumb of my jalapeno cheddar loaf. I see that the inclusions were all grouped toward one end, which looks to me to be an artifact of my shaping process. So, I will adjust that the next time!.
More goat shelter, bread, and dinner!

In all its glory, here is a completed goat shelter! I had dragged it over in a rush yesterday afternoon as a storm was rolling through. The goats in this pen were already moved to a sheltered spot, so much ado about nothing. Anywho, it was staged and ready for use the next day!

Checking on the remaining mama turkey. She has taken up residence behind our A/C compressor. I’ve been checking on her the past few days. I haven’t seen any eggs hatch, a couple have popped (gone bad). And at this point, I’m not confident any of these eggs are viable any longer.
Bread! and a dead microwave!

The loaves from yesterday’s post all done! I have two basic sourdough loaves, one jalapeno cheddar, and a sourdough rye loaf.
Early Monday Practice!

Today started early. Arya’s volleyball practice started up today, which of course runs from 0600 – 0800, which means we (well, one of us and Arya anyway) are up at 0500 to get her there.
A happy, but sleepy Arya, is ready to go to practice!
Soccer & Blimp Sunday

Another soccer practice. Randal enjoys being a big kid and playing as the goalie, just like big brother Evan!
Morning chicken video!

Smolder started out the day, as he usually does, by laying in the middle of the nearest walkway that he can find. He likes to ambush feet that are coming by.
