Hey everybody sorry I haven't posted in awhile. It has been crazy, my grandpa died at he beginning of the month and then Ricky's grandpa died just the other day. I have been getting my garden ready to plant and I just can't wait. built another pen for my boars so my sows don't get pregnant right away. My goat had her two babies that was exciting but of course it was when I had to be out of town.
Now my little brother is coming to stay with me for a week for spring break. I also finished my first short story that hopefully I can get published it is off being edited right now and I think it turned out really well. It is titled 'A New Day' , It is abought a couple kids whos mom died and they had nobody to care for them so they got put in foster care. Laura is an agry teen and her younger bro is happy to have sombody there. At the end of the story there is a big change in Laura, and she sees what her foster dad has been trying to show her for 10 months. That even though you have had a tragedy and everything seems terrible, there is still beauty in the world. You can be happy. I hope that I can get it published so that everybody can read it.
Just learned that my ponies are due anyday too, I was thinking the end of the month but I was just told they were bred the 7th and 11th of May so we should have one baby at least this week. Oh my I hope everything works out and slows down. I finaly started shearing my sheep it is no easy task when you are the only one doing it. I use the milking stand until I have to do the neck then I have to hold them the traditional way and I have to say the sure flail around alot when they have never been shorn before. Next is to get some carders so I can start making yarn. I decided not to dye the yarn this year because its my first year doing it and I don't want to over whelm myself.
We have been doing our Foster care classes and man are they long and informative. I am so excited that we are almost done though. we have had our paperwork in three times now and it seems like every time we get close something happens, like today I have a class but can not go becasue nobody would babysit for me. now I have to wait for the next class in a couple months, and hopefully I can get someone then. Then we have Adoption classes in May and a Homestudy to do then we will be placed with a child for 6 months and then we can adopt that child.
well so much stuff to do and so little time so I will write again soon.
