Innocent? I Think Not!

Innocent and sweet looking faces? Perhaps......... However, apparently these two decided to make a break for it. Naturally, I was at work.

Well, I came home from work Saturday morning to discover a patched together barricade in front of what's left of the small portion of electric fence in the paddock and arena. Recently, I've been working on fixing the pasture fence because I have caught Kola leaning over it and since she breached the portion of the AC electric fence that also manages the pasture, I haven't been able to electrify the fence, so consequently I have locked them out of the pasture for now less than a week to work on it. I have bought a solar electric fence charger. Have the two grounds in. And have been attempting to charge the thing. I should have it completed by tomorrow.

So, onto what had happened. These "innocent" looking girls broke out at about 8pm on Friday night. Of course our neighbor called Stephen to let him know. They were found feasting on our garden boxes and when Zoe and Stephen attempted to catch them, they gave chase. All over the back yard. Hoof prints! Various sliding stops on Misty's behalf and so many hoof prints I cannot count them all. They eventually got them in and Steve made the barricade. Saturday morning, Stephen and I managed to fix the small area of electric together and it's been on ever since.

Another Busy Week.................

Jeremiah will here on Wednesday to trim these girls, a long time coming...........They definitely need it. And of course the weather is finally nice, not too hot, not cold and rainy, but now I'm sick with some sort of respiratory virus.........figures...........And it's time to order hay again.

Stephen and Zoe managed to revive our little backyard pond. I'm not too sure how I feel about the over abundance of gnomes..........

The box gardens are going mad! We've plucked spinach and lettuce already, even having so much spinach, that the goats have gotten a little treat every now and then. I even have a few asparagus sprouts starting. It will about two years to establish those crowns. I miss my asparagus. I used to have a huge bed in the back, but mowed down in frustration because it had gotten so overgrown with brambles and such, so it will nice to have it a bit contained.

Well, the big boat has been sold and Stephen got himself this little 19 footer to replace, only every day we've gone down to the slip, it's been unseasonably HOT! And now we need to take a closer look at the hydraulics. It is a cutie, though and perfect for us, rather than trying to manage the 28 footer.

On a funny note, a question, Has anyone out there seen the movie "Bridesmaids" yet. Zoe & I saw it last week. I must admit, I do not think I've ever laughed that hard and out loud in a theatre in my life. I highly recommend it. It was funny!
