I have been trying to write this post now for a few weeks, maybe even a month. It’s hard for me to admit failure and this post is going to be partly about my failure, but also my sanity.

We’ve all been rethinking our views on farming. It’s getting to be too much. We have no time for anything other than the animals and our fulltime jobs.

One of my favourite pastimes is beach glass hunting. I used to go at least twice a month in the summer. I haven’t been in over a year and a half. I’m constantly frazzled, I never have time for J., my garden is over run by weeds and the summer is just started! I could go on and on and on,but I’ll stop here.

I’m selling two goats. I don’t need Esme and Whisper. J. was upset at first, but then he realizes that it’s for the best. He realizes that mommy is just a few straws short of having the proverbial back broken.

I mean honestly, I need one goat, not 4! But you can’t just have one because they get lonely. So that’s why I’m keeping Febe and Cindi Lou. I’m also going to try having a buck. It’s going to save a lot time and money. We got Tommy a few weeks ago. He looks almost identical the Cindi Lou. It must sound like I’m contradicting myself, getting rid of 2 goats and buying another one. But I think I know what I’m doing. (I hope.)
