I made a mistake last night and watched the weather. I was expecting 33 this morning but it was 60 when I went out. I got all the feeding and watering done early to beat the rain. It started to sprinkle just when I came in. I let the goats out this morning to browse and carouse a while. They are so funny. They didn't challenge the fence so I still don't know if it's working. Can't find my meter and I can't risk touching it myself. I have an irregular heart beat from the muscle disorder and getting a jolt could give me problems. It also hurts my muscles bad to get shocked. I walked (crawled) the perimeter and pulled every blade of grass that was anywhere near the fence. I hope it did the trick. I got a tray of various melons and squash seeded yesterday and put in the cellar under the light. Also put 2 dozen bantam eggs in the bator yesterday. I must be nuts! :) Got a ladies meeting at church tonight so I have a pot of beans cooking to take with me. I need to replant my basils. Nothing is coming up. I don't have more seed for some of them so I'll have to get my trading seeds together and head toward the seed trading forum. Wish me luck!

My ponies, Max and Tug. Max pulls my cart and Tug we have raised form a baby. He will be 2 in June and I need to start working with him to break him to ride. He's gentle as a kitten so I'm not expecting any trouble from him. He needs a bath.
