Here’s to You and the Poll Results

Jul
23

It’s that time again, when I randomly poke my finger at the calendar to select a day (since the last time I did it), then input the number of comments on that day’s post in Random.org’s Integer Generator to choose the recipient of a $50 Amazon gift certificate. And so I poked my finger, eyes closed, at the calendar and came up with July 17th, which was the day I talked about my camera. There were 53 comments (as of this writing) on that post, and when I inputted that range online, I came up with:

Here are your random numbers:

And that comment belongs to….

“You’ve inspired me to get my camera out and start snappin’ away!”

Bertie, email me! (There is a Contact Me link at the top of the sidebar.)

I’ll be doing this again. All you have to do is comment on daily posts to be in the drawing. Thank you for being here and for keeping me company!

I’m also sending a big thank-you to my recent sponsors. Please pay them a visit! (Please? Without them, I could not do giveaways and I could not pay my hosting costs. Please take a moment to visit each one and see the valuable things they have to offer.)

And now announcing….

Nutmeg and Honey are the doeling and buckling names that won, hands down, in the poll! Thank you all for helping me name the babies! It’s a good thing Honey’s going to be wethered because nobody would take a buck named Honey seriously. But Honey is going to be my sweet boy, my wether, and when we get our buck and he goes to the buck pen, I think it would be funny to pair Honey up with a buck named something tough like Bruiser.

Clover and the two babies are scheduled to arrive on Friday evening. We have fencing, goat food (sweet mule feed), and goat treats (animal crackers). I have no idea what I’m doing. I don’t know how to milk. I don’t know how to make cheese. I don’t know how to take care of goats. I went into the little store in town to buy the sweet mule feed and Faye was manning the counter. I said, “What do I need for milking?” She held up her hand and said, “This.” She is so practical. Apparently, they weren’t selling magic knowledge and experience at the little store this week.

I wonder if I can get Georgia to do it…. She could come over every day. Except for the thing about how she can’t drive down our road.

I’M ON MY OWN.

This is going to be an adventure!! Come along with me?

The Slanted Little House

"It was a cold wintry day when I brought my children to live in rural West Virginia. The farmhouse was one hundred years old, there was already snow on the ground, and the heat was sparse-—as was the insulation. The floors weren’t even, either. My then-twelve-year-old son walked in the door and said, “You’ve brought us to this slanted little house to die." Keep reading our story....
