Finally...I saw my Orthopedist last week & my Neurosurgeon yesterday & received clearance from both. No more trips to UVA for a few months. I feel just a little free, I must say. I'm also exhausted, so now I can rest up a bit.

Painted my rusty trash can holder this afternoon. Wasn't easy with the chickens checking things out. They tracked things up a bit but none of them are wearing war paint. The goats came by & I had to take some time for them. They're shedding their winter fuzz. That didn't help my painting either, let me tell ya. I discovered Feisty had lost most of her left ear. It was all healed but I have no idea what happened to it. I never noticed this winter because it was always twisted & hung goofy anyway. I believe I know when it happened because there was a time in the cold winter when I was recovering from neck surgery when she wouldn't come close. I thought her behavior odd at the time. Now I have my answer.

I never thought I would have a one eared goat. Never thought I would have lots of things I have for that matter. Oh well.... My road is washing badly with all the torrential downpours we have been having. At least we didn't have tornadoes or much damage from all the violent storms. I am grateful for that. I did have to drive to UVA with almost no sleep because the storms kept the dogs & I awake most of Wednesday night. And I was running in & out of storms all the way to UVA. The afternoon was beautiful though. Traffic was a bear.

So I guess things are fine on the farm, all things considered. Maybe tomorrow I'll get to try the bubble stick on the chickens. I anticipate interesting reactions!
