It's been a tough few days, I have had real trouble talking ( Greg thinks it's great !!!) My Maryln Monroe sexy husky ( early cold) voice turned into a gravely squeak ( Micky Mouse on a really bad day !!), I think my voice box has curled up and died. My nights have been spent sitting up in bed to try and control coughing ( not too successfully, so the bags under my eyes feel like backpacks) My days have been spent trying not to sound like either Marilyn Monroe or Micky Mouse....just get better, so far with no success !!! Today has been the pits ! The rain has become incessant, (the mud intrusive, the water filling our boots and the daily feeding ritual a soggy mess). Yesterday was a LOT of fun, Washington State University used our ranch for a meat goat class and we met the nicest people,... it's strange how total strangers can feel like friends in a few moments and we found out that we were doing things right.....how cool is that !!!smile. This was our first experience working with WSU and we loved it. Now we are faced with a new issue, our farm will be turning into an "x rated" environment. There will be some humping and bumping going on in the next few weeks. I don't hold out too much hope for young Matcho,he has all the right assets, and testosterone is just slow cooking or he seems to be seriously directionaly challenged....he has been trying to "do his thing" on Dollys' head / side so I'm a little bit concerned to say the least that he is going to "get it right " Time will tell. . Rodney is an experienced older ram and when he goes in with the girls, the job may not be done in the fast lane but age and experience will tell !!! Oh well, its 9.15pm and time to send the dog out to meet the nightime monsters. He doesn't seem to realise that when we send him out for his nightime pee in the rain and he comes back dry..there is a problem . Off you go Bran.......! ( If there's a puddle in the morning you're in trouble !!) I'm hoping for a better night and with a bit of luck a voice, not a growl in the morning. Take care, M
