I Love, love, love the black and white spotted goat! Thinking how in the world I could have one or two since I live in town. Cry cry!!
This is so excited to see!! We are reno-ing our new farm house also! We have 11 acres and I am drawing much inspiration from you!!!
You're glowing Jess! ❤
The kitchen is beautiful! Love the color schemes!
Shower curtain rings work really well and then you won't have to take the pipe off.
I found an article on using dill (or basil or marigolds) planted by tomatoes to help keep horned worms away. Dill is working good at my house, not at my friend's 70 miles away. I'd rather not fo marigolds due to bad allergy. What do you use?
You can make tabs for curtains and use velcro so you dont have to take pipe down
How many Alpacas do you have. I've only ever seen Manny and what do you do with them?
Love the sunflower picture idea
Oooo that watermelon looks awesome Jess! Unfortunately my growing season is coming to an end here in Central Florida. The garden looks great as always! I think the photo idea is great! I'm printing a lot of my garden pictures out to hang them on the wall this yr..
Walmart has rings that have clips on them so you don’t have to remove the rings, you can just re clip! They actually look nice! Maybe something like that so you don’t have to unhook the rings everytime! Plus they would match really well with your kitchen I think!
Do you sell your goat milk & veggies?
You can actually just use Velcro on the tops of the curtains so you can remove them really easily
Asthmatics around the world are appreciating the thought of pollen-less flowers. Side note, but lilies are fatally toxic to cats.
I love the farmer type of sink! You are going to have so much fun in the kitchen!!
Did you build your own house?
My papa used to say you had to feed the pecan trees red devil lye but I don’t even know what that is…
Do you guys breed your alpaca
Jess, lilies are toxic to cats! I'm so glad you never brought any indoors 🙂
You can cut the stamens out of lilies. It helps them last longer as cut flowers. More importantly for me, I can have them inside without an asthma attack.
I really hope you don’t get many messages calling you a monster because you cut off your goats’ ears. People can do a little googling before putting THAT out into the world.
My cat is so used to your voice because I watch as many of your videos as I can. Grayson (He is gray, and my son) says "Brrimp" and jumps up to see the video when I have my laptop open.
Love your goaties! I’ve always thought Nestle was the cutest, I love her spots! I noticed that you don’t disbud/dehorn them. Other goat owners say that this has caused issues for them because the goats will be destructive with their horns; to fences, to each other, etc. I’ve watched the disbudding process and it breaks my heart, but I understand why people do it. Do you find there are advantages to leaving their horns, or do you just not care to go through the disbudding process? (Totally understandable, I wouldn’t want to either). I hope to own goats one day when we have property. Blessings to you ❤️
Regarding your pecan problem – pecans need lots and lots of water. Even flooding the area. The reason for the water is that the tree sucks it up and the water goes into the forming shells. The water in the shells forms the pecans. So if the trees do not get enough water the pecans will be puny. When I lived in Arizona our neighbors would flood their trees. It might be that you could get away without flooding in your rain climate. I'm not sure about that, but I do know that you have a water problem.
Where do you get your meat? Or are you vegetarian?
Your such a blessing! I so wish you lived closer
