I have been trying to get clips of the kids (baby goats) romping around the kitchen, but I end up laughing so hard, the videos end up with headless goats or just feet. Or, as you'll see in the video, the dogs get excited when they hear the pitter patter on the floor.

Hay Day and a "to-do" List ~ Porch Prep
We restocked the hay yesterday. It makes a person wonder where they got the saying "having a hay day" from. Hauling hay is not loose fun.
The truck is back from repairs and in tip top shape now. That's good, because we may need to pick up wood soon. Another tree was offered to us.
What else was on the "to-do" list?

Handiwork Developments ~ New Fruit Plants on the Homestead
The weather is a bit cooler, so I'm tackling the last of the handiwork "to-do" list. Remember my netting? It's next, and last on my old list. There is a new list (new projects) emerging. Isn't there always a new one?
I finished crocheting the 192 yellow and pink flowers for the baby blanket, and have already started to work on the actual granny squares. That means 192 granny squares when I am finished.
The new list (while the baby blanket progresses)?

Repairs ~ Travel Journals
The ladder project(s) are put off for a few days. It's too cold anyway, but Hubby had to take the truck in for a look-see. Let's just say he was sweating it out while waiting for the phone call.
The damage?

Tidbits ~ Curried Cashews ~ Homemade Noodles
Hubby was up very early yesterday. He was already busy working on projects that have loomed over us. One is the trash can. When we moved in here, years ago, it came with a trash compactor. It broke down several years ago, and we did not want to replace it.
The front of the compactor had a cupboard piece to match the kitchen, in which Hubby removed it. He's now putting in a slide rail for the trash can, to fill that space under the cupboard, adding hinges to the cupboard piece, and making it new again. I'll be painting it soon to match the cabinets. For years, the trash can was hand pushed in and out, and often left out. It's a relief to see it get worked on now.
