Thanksgiving dinner

Notice the beautiful bird on the table. We're hoping next year we'll be able to raise a couple of turkeys for Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner instead of getting a frozen bird from the grocery store. Something to look forward to and work towards.

Animal Swap Day - again

Today is the animal swap again. We're still looking for sheep and anything else that catches our eye. We arrive again at 8am, but this months venue is even smaller than last. What the heck? Anyway we look around and since we have the two cages we bought last time in tow, we're better prepared.

After we look around a bit, we decide on 4 Californian does and 1 Californian buck. Total cost for all 5 was $40 total. Not too shabby. Also, the nice lady that sold us the buck told us that we need to get there right when they open at 6am to get the best selection. She said some people even arrive early around 5:30am to start looking over the animals. Hmm.... who knew?

We stopped at Buchheits to get rabbit feed, waterer, hutch-building supplies, etc.

Wow! Big week for the girls! 39 eggs!
