Reed Ranch- Cute & Tasty

MONDAY September 4, 2006

We have a shower! Yeah! We also have a washing machine! Yippie! It only took a couple of weeks but the shower is working great. We can even shower and flush the toilet at the same time. We can also shower and run a load of clothes. However, we havent been so adventurous as to run whites in the laundry machine. We are afraid they will come out a little yellow. But it is so nice to be able to run the bulk of our clothes at home and hang them on the line. Hurray! And to be able to take a shower in our own home it is fabulous. Grandma sprung for the curved shower curtain rod. It is worth every penny. We love it. Our shower is so much better now than when we moved in. It is all new and with the bent shower curtain rod it is great. I love not having to fight with the curtain sticking to me.

Asa also finished the pen for the goat so she is banned to it. We no longer have live entertainment on the porch. We miss her being there and she definately miss us. She is very lonely in her pen. We tried this last few days to get her a friend but it didnt work out. However, not having her on the porch also means no poop every where. Those goat pellet poops go everywhere. I think her favorite place to poop was on the porch. So Happy Birthday is in her pen and tonight with the full moon we heard the Coyotes howling. They were very close. So Close we were worried for Happy Birthday's safety so we sent Asa outside to check on her and to look to see if he could see any coyotes. She was ok but they are close.

Since the pen is finish and it seems to be containing her ok, we are ready to get a heard of goats. Yeah! we spent the last two days trying to find someone who has the goats we want for sale. But the ones that were close enough only had bucks right now. There are a few sales coming up we are going to try. Asa just needs to finish the chicken coop and we will be set.

Our three year old started preschool this week and really likes it. She came home the first day and was very tired. However she wouldnt take a nap and her behavior was extremely irritating. Thankfully today after preschool she took a nap and was much better. She is making some friends and she really likes interacting with the other kids.
