Well, finally! I was wishing for the day when I would catch a doe in heat and actually breed her to the planned buck. For whatever reason, this breeding season has been tricky. Well, take a step further and have a friend's bucks temporarily stay here and have a full on buckscapade with 8 bucks loose with all the does (Lamanchas and Nigerians included).

It's been a lot of work and time testing/ultrasounding/luting to clean up that mess. But, we do now have some confirmed intentional breedings!!

Now to get everyone back on track to finish our plans!

Why is there always one extra difficult one?!

Just trying to ultrasound her, and she is the biggest drama queen.

What's your favorite thing or things to can?

My favorites are spiced figs, apple butter, stewed tomatoes, zucchini relish, pickled okra, and I'd like to retry a batch of giardinara salad (it wasn't crispy enough for me last time).

Waking up my sourdough starter!

I have been working hard to lose weight, and with the heat during the summer, I wasn't into baking. BUT, when a friend brings you some lovely French butter straight off the plane from Paris, you must have fresh bread! ❤

We know we were very fortunate to avoid what could've been after Helene's Wrath. We spent hours doing things to prepare for that storm, knowing that we could have been in her direct path. We had a little bit of flooding in our basement, some debris down, but very minor in comparison to so many. Our animals sure are happy to be out helping clean up debris in sunshine and blue skies.

Our hearts go out to those that were hit much harder. I know of several farms in North Georgia, Tennessee, and North Carolina that are still assessing and processing everything that happened. We send our thoughts and prayers to the communities that will be rebuilding for the forseeable future.

I am always in awe when the cardoon blooms. Just amazing!

It's getting hot! But, the animals are happy to keep me extra busy. Two little helpers have been out of school for a week, and my other not-so-little have their last day of school today.

Something is on the road north right now, and I can't wait to lay my eyes on her!

It always feels good to get back to the white tile in the doe house! Nova was thoroughly inspecting my job.

We had a great weekend enjoying lunch at one of our favorite spots, picking up 2 new Nucs of bees, giving a couple of does a prefreshening trim, and spending time outside. #bees #nucs #honeybees #rumiskitchen #thistles #thistlewoodacres #thistlewoodacresfarm #nigeriandwarfgoats #prefresheningprep #dairygoats #dairygoatsofgeorgia #goatkids

We enjoyed spending the day outside cleaning up our woods, burning, roasting marshmallows, and admiring our animals. All was fun in games until Rev decided to steal the baby's sock right off of her foot and eat it! 😳 He is fine, but he was rewarded with a big dose of Milk of Magnesia to help push things along! #socktheif #burn #fire #brushpile #kubota #roastingmarshmallows #kids #goats #thegreatoutdoors #homesteading #thewoods #yardcleanup

Of course this stuff happens when Todd is gone. #timber #treesdown #fenceisdown #buckshavesnacksfordays #hopefullytheydecideitsgreenerinsidetheirfence #darnstorms #whyisitalwaysthroughthenight #uprooted #nigeriandwarfgoats #poordudes #premier1fencing #thistlewoodacresfarm

This girl was AI'd 24 days ago, and was supposed to get an ultrasound this Sunday, to show me her prized possessions. As I take Thorne out to have a date with Stella (still open, and obviously in heat), he runs over to the doe pen. Annnnnnd here is Olive--ready for her own date! 🙄 #thirdwheel #notcoololive #nigeriandwarfgoats #thornehadagoodday 😂 #quitetheladiesman #blubberingfool
