Good Morning! Well, I must say, you just never know what will come in a day. I grew up about 40 or so miles from where I currently live and have spent my whole life (from about age 3) in this area. I remember when the northern limits of the city were at the college and Shipyard Blvd. was the last interesting thing to see going south. Monkey Junction used to be this weird intersection in the middle of nowhere that only those going to Carolina Beach would actually see. I remember when they built 90% of the malls and shopping centers currently in existence. I remember when Laney High School came into being. Forty-some years of watching a quiet southern town degenerate into a large, bustling, mock-up of a northern metropolis.
But the one thing that has remained relatively constant has been the climate. Oh yes, some years were colder or warmer than others. I remember big snow, little snow, and no snow years......the certainty of the humidity during the summer......and the possibility of ice storms in the winter and hurricanes in the summer. I've seen a lot of both.
Hurricane Irene's current threat to make landfall in our vicinity is leading to the inevitable clearing of shelves of water, batteries, and bread. The fact that I've become a "prepper" has made Irene's forecasted appearance much less stressful since most of what I need is already on hand. There is the "battening down of the hatches" which will need to be completed by Friday AM at the latest, but even most of those supplies are already on hand and simply require installing. As I said, most of this is "old hat" to me, having grown up here and experienced quite a few hurricanes.
Tornadoes are a different story altogether. The only time that I can remember tornado threats being issued was in conjunction with a hurricane's landfall. We grew up making jokes about not wanting to live in the midwest because of the tornadoes and how at least with a hurricane you had plenty of warning. But as of about 5 years ago, the possibility of a tornado accompanying a thunder storm has become more of a recurring reality. And one for which my area is woefully unprepared.
The first problem is that our abundance of trees makes the sighting of a tornado almost impossible. We can only depend on the appearance of effects (such as wind, hail, and debris) to give us warning that one is imminent. There are also no sirens in place to sound. If you are not glued to your television in the first place or have a weather radio, you are unlikely to know that there is any possibility of severe weather. And finally, no one around here has a basement or underground storm shelter. There is, of course, a good reason for this. Our water table is so high that any attempt at building a basement or storm shelter would lead to a very muddy swimming pool. (I remember when my parents put in an in-ground swimming pool and the contractor had to spend a couple of weeks pumping water out of the hole before they could install the lining). We are looking at building a concrete block building and covering it with earth which would serve as a type of storm shelter/root cellar, if we can figure out how to keep out the snakes and fire ants. But, while less so than with a hurricane, our area is still capable of the basics in dealing with the results of tornadoes such as power outages, downed trees, etc.
Today, however, we experienced something which I have never been through before........an earthquake! A friend had come to visit and we were sharing a moment of quiet conversation when my house began to.......wobble. Sort of like when my washing machine is on spin with a large load.......only much stronger. At first neither of us said anything and then she asked if I was washing clothes. When I replied no, we both just kind of stared at each other. Finally we decided to get up and go outside. The fact that my house is 100 years old and had weathered numerous hurricanes and storms made the shaking, seeming from out of the blue, extremely unnerving. The fact that my house is built on brick pillars that are also 100 years old just added to the uneasiness of the situation. We did return to the house after a few minutes, but it wasn't until one of my daughters found out from facebook that a 5.8 earthquake had occurred in Virginia that we both relaxed. While the occurrence of the earthquake itself was a new and unsettling experience, it at least made the fact that my house had shaken a little easier to take. Trust me, any logical reason for your house to suddenly begin shaking is welcome.
So, another thing has been crossed off my bucket list. Of course, experiencing an earthquake was never on my bucket list, but (as with my to do list) adding it was easy and immediately crossing it off gave a sense of satisfaction which comes from having completed a job.
Well, it's time to start another day. Life here is never boring.
May Yahweh bless you in this new day!

Feeling Better
Good Morning! Oh my, the cooler temps are helping so much. Even though we remain in the high 80's the humidity level has decreased dramatically and once again we are all enjoying the farm. Things seem to get done so much quicker when you aren't weighed down by the heat. We've also had several storms which delivered 2-3 inches of rain each, so the grass and plants are perking up.
Yesterday I finally had a chance to make some more soap. I'm working on some of the fall scents hoping to have 5 different kinds available by October 1st. The smell of fall in the my kitchen just seems to lighten my mood. To me, creating things, whether it be crochet, knit, soap, sewing, etc., is so relaxing and gives me such a sense of accomplishment. I'm also hoping to get everything up on ebay, including some gift baskets.
It is so easy for me to get distracted by things. I'm one of those people who finds learning anything new to be fascinating. I'm always ready to say "That looks neat. Let's try that!" Unfortunately that usually requires me to drop something that I have already been developing and trying to get up and running. I must have 100+ projects that are 70% done. Recently I've been thinking about getting my Ham Radio Technician's License and have been studying a little whenever I had the chance. Then a good friend informed me that they were giving the test this Saturday and immediately my mind says "I can study all week and be ready". However, this would mean putting other projects on hold, some of them longstanding projects in the Making Money category. Fortunately for me, Ray has a firm hold on what is important and can be accomplished in a day, unlike myself who thinks that I can always cram just a little more in. His suggestion is to put that on hold and work on it during the less busy winter months. He's so wise.
Well, the sun is up and the chores are waiting. I'm also hoping to get some Sunflower soap made and maybe even some more cleaning and organizing done.
May Yahweh bless you in this new day!

Cleaning and Inspiration for More
Good Morning! Once again a long time between posts. I wish I could say that I've been too busy and I should have been, but to be honest the unrelenting hot weather has finally gotten to most of the family. We are so tired of walking out at 6AM and being hit with the warm damp air, of having wringing wet clothes by 7AM, of not being able to get outside and DO anything after about noon,........you get the picture. The warmer it is, the longer the morning chores seem to take, which pushes back other jobs, so that before you know it the morning is shot and there's really nothing to show for it. The afternoon is even worse sometimes as, after battling the heat all morning, no one feels like doing anything and we retreat into a dark room and nap. Lower temperatures and some cloudy days are in the forecast for the coming week, so I'm hoping this will break the cloud of depression and laziness which seems to be hanging over us all.
I don't know about you, but my kitchen is work central. It's where everything gets done......and dropped. During canning season I put up an extra long table to hold the canned goods to cool before putting them inwhatever vacant spot I can find the pantry. Of course, being a flat surface, this table seems to attract all manner of other things like a magnet. It also blocks a good portion of the kitchen from cleaning, so dust has a tendency to collect for the summer awhile before I get a chance to clean it. Well, this is the week. I started by putting away everything that had collected on the table. When I took down the table it actually fell apart, so out it went. Then I cleaned off and dusted the shelf above the windows which holds my stained glass house collection (purchased before children) as well as various and sundry knickknacks deemed necessary for decor. Since I am currently in a purging fit, I got rid of everything except my houses and a cookie jar my sister had given me. The openness of the shelves looks so much simpler and lighter. I also know that cleaning it will take a lot less time, so maybe I'll be able to get someone to do it more often.
Yesterday, I cleaned both ceiling fans in the kitchen. I'm ashamed to say that the dust had gotten so bad on them that, occasionally, they would throw large hunks of dust off everywhere. They look so much better.
Today, my goal is to take down the curtains and air them out while I clean the windows. I used to put my curtains in the dryer on air fluff to remove the dust, but since that broke at the beginning of the year, I suppose I will need to pray for a good breeze to do the same thing. I also want to clean the one remaining light fixture in the kitchen.
I can already feel my spirit and mood lifting.
I found a new blog the other day, Life at Providence Lodge (http://providencelodge.blogspot.com/). What an awesome, inspiring blog!!!! One post had a thought which I think will stay with me all of my life: "In a large family, the mama either has to be a slave to her family, or teach them how to work together to make home a nice place to be, which takes management skills. Her other option, is to live in a hovel where nobody wants to be, in unorganized chaos, feeling depressed." This has been me for the last 12 years. When we first moved into this house, my children (aged 11,6,6, and 4) were well trained in keeping a house by virtue of having one on the market. We all pitched in and were actually a happy lot. But somewhere along the line I dropped the ball. I like to blame it on the fact that my mother-in-law's things were everywhere in this house and I didn't want the children to break anything, or that with 10 people (two families) with all of their belongings piled into the house, there was really no where to put anything, so cleaning was too difficult for the children to handle, etc. While they sound nice these are in fact just excuses which I have used to lower my standards to levels unheard of except in the government. The above quote has challenged me to make the changes necessary to make my home a "nice place to be", hence the cleaning up and cleaning out. I can't do it by myself. I will need the cooperation of everyone, even if it is only the having the willingness to accept some retraining. But I at least feel as if I have a direction and a goal to attain, not to mention the feeling that the goal is attainable.
May Yahweh bless you in this new day!

I Won........a Gun?!
Good Morning! Yesterday was like a sign from Yahweh that fall will indeed come. At least for the first part of the day it was cooler, there was a wind blowing, and the air felt much better. In the latter half of the day it did warm up but was cloudy and breezy. After Saturday and Sunday's 100+ temperatures it was very welcome.
Unfortunately it was also one of those days where it felt like you struggled to get nothing done. The morning chores were late getting started and so didn't get finished until almost noon. Some schoolwork with the youngers came next, but was interrupted by lunch. My goals of finishing the laundry and making tomato sauce went unaccomplished. Before I knew it, the supper hour had rolled around and it was time to do chores again. Days like that have a tendency to leave me feeling drained and depressed.
The business side of life did well as I made quite a few sales. That always tends to brighten up things.
On another note, I was notified last week that I had won a Mossburg 12 gauge shotgun in a raffle. Last May Ray, several of the children, and I attended a local gun and knife show. They were raffling off several items, including an awesome crossbow. Ray and I had been wanting to get a crossbow for some time, but the expense had held us back. So, on a whim, I bought several tickets. Last Thursday they did the actual drawing and I got the shotgun. It must be a nice gun, since several male friends are envious, but honestly you can put what I know about guns themselves into a thimble and still have room for your finger. I do know how to fire and am a pretty good shot, if I do say so myself, but just looking at guns I couldn't tell a 30/30 from a .22. And, since the crossbow was what I was really interested in, I can't even tell you what the gun looks like. But now I at least have my own gun and can join the family hunts this fall. Maybe I'll even be able to put some deer in the freezer..............I hope they won't make me dress it out.
May Yahweh bless you in this new day!

New Experiences
Good Morning! The heat here has been extreme to say the least. Temperatures in the 100+ range are very hard to deal with, especially when the humidity makes the air difficult to breathe. Getting up early and getting the outside work done quickly has become of paramount importance. After that we only venture outside to check the stock and give fresh water. There is a lot of outdoor work just sitting waiting for cooler temperatures. Afternoons have become indoor work time, so you would think that some would actually be getting accomplished. But way too often the morning work in the heat has wiped us out and a nap becomes a necessity.
The Boer kids, Danielle and Bounder, are spending their last night with their mom. Today they will officially be put with the other kids full time. This was the first time that we have had Boer kids that we have kept until weaning. Several years ago we had a couple who purchased our brand new kids with the promise that they would come get milk from us and bottle feed. After about 3 weeks they quit showing up and informed us that they had weaned the kids. These kids later died from various problems. Now we do not sell any kids before weaning.
This week I will be clipping hooves, deworming, and grooming the cashmeres and Boers. Next week I hope to begin breeding. My plan is to leave the bucks in with the does August and September. The heat, however, may greatly affect my plans. Most of the goats do not begin cycling until we begin to get cold fronts moving through that drastically lower the temperature. So, depending on how it goes, I may have to leave the bucks in an extra month.
This year is the first year that we have actually had our own bucks. Before we have always used other people's bucks. This had it's own set of problems, since it is sometimes difficult to catch a doe in heat. If you did, then you had to drop everything (and hope the other person could, too) and take the doe over to the other farm. Sometimes the trip alone was enough to throw the doe out of heat. All of this hauling back and forth made the fall extremely hectic. Keeping a buck comes with downsides also. The biggest ones being housing and feeding, but we think that the convenience and control will more that offset that.
We have finally gotten at least our sow, Penelope, home. We are struggling to get a pen up for the boar, however. The temperatures make it impossible for Ray to get much done when he gets home, so it is mostly his projects that are sitting. I don't blame him one bit. It just looks like it may be closer to fall before we can get it done. Penelope is due to farrow in mid-August. That will certainly be a new experience. While we've raised several pigs for meat, this marks the first time we've actually had pigs for breeding. I can't wait to get see the baby pigs!!! Penelope is so much different from the pigs we've had before. Our main source for pigs has been the local contract hog farmers, who would donate one to various events and then not be able to take it back. We've even raised one who was found on the side of the road after having fallen off a nursery truck. They tended to be difficult to handle and less than personable. Penelope always comes up to the fence if I am close by. Since the milking stand is close to her pen, we carry on long conversations during milkings. She loves to be brushed and absolutely adores cold milk. Right now we have her in the small, off-the-ground pen that we have used previously for raising pigs, but we hope to have her in a larger area on the ground as soon as the weather permits more outside work.
So, this year is full of new experiences for us. But for now, the sun is lighting the sky and I had better get to work if I don't want to get caught out in the heat.
May Yahweh bless you in this new day!

Quiet Country - Not Today
Good Morning! My goodness! I knew that the Boer kids weren't going to like being separated from mom and each other. After all they had always been together. I just didn't expect it to be so loud so long. After they had had their grain for the morning, I put Bounder on a lead and headed for the buck pen. He was fine until he realized I was leading him out of the goat pen and then he started up. Which, of course, brought mom rushing away from the hay to check things out. Their cries blended together for most of the trip. Mom quieted down when she realized that she could still hear him. The other bucks tried to play with him, but he just stood at the gate and cried all day. Danielle, who is always ready for adventure, went to visit the other doe kids with hardly a sound. About lunchtime, though, she was ready for a good nap with momma and began to register her complaints. The rest of the day was somewhat loud. Who knew that 2 little kids could make so much noise. Poor Bounder was so hoarse he could barely make a sound when he got back to his mom. Both of them rushed to their mom and tried to nurse, but she pushed them away until she got her food. It's nice to know that mom and I are on the same page. But, somehow, I don't think they will be as easy to catch tomorrow.
May Yahweh bless you in this new day!

Preparing for a New Season
Good Morning! The heat in our area continues. After a brief respite today's high is supposed to be back in the 90's and an increase in humidity. This is really hard on us, but especially hard on the animals. We will be going out and spraying down some of the animals at about 1-2 PM. With the high heat we may be having to do it sooner and several times. It's also important to check water supplies and even dump warm water and replace with fresh, cool water. The Alpines and Pashminas are especially affected by the high heat. Their small ears do not allow much heat transfer, as opposed to Nubians and Boers. My Black Angus calves also will probably be appreciative of a good spray down.
Faline, the new Jersey calf continues to grow, which is a wonder considering she thinks Maggie only has one teat. She seems to be getting enough, however, since she is up romping around and playing with the Boer kids.
It is now weaning season here on the farm. I have finally convinced Li'l Bit, the steer, that he can get by without a bottle. It was a somewhat loud process, with him voicing his disapproval every time he heard my voice near the pen. The Boer kids, Danielle and Bounder, are ready to be weaned. That's my judgment call. I doubt they would agree, especially Bounder who is somewhat of a momma's boy. So this week I will be removing them from their momma during the day, putting Danielle with the doe kids and Bounder in with the bucks. I suppose I will feel somewhat like I am dropping them each at separate daycares. Then at night I will put them back with their momma. But next Monday, look out! They will be permanently removed from momma and in with the kids. The last of the Alpine kids will be weaned in the next two weeks, also.
The last two weeks of July will be spent preparing my does for breeding season. Deworming is done, hooves are trimmed up, the cashmeres are combed out well one last time. The plan is to put the bucks in with the Boers and Cashmeres for August and September for kidding in January/February. Believe it or not, this is the first year I actually have a breeding plan written down (for the next five years!). Last year I had a plan, but wasn't in control of the buck, so it kind of fell apart. This year I feel much more in control and I don't have to run all over southeastern NC to accomplish it. Michaela will not start breeding the Alpines until a little later, shooting for March/April kids. We would both like to avoid the May/June kids since we are so busy with other things by then.
Well, the day is calling so I had better run. As usual I am starting the day off behind.
May Yahweh bless you in this new day!
