For being princess in my all-male household. I think you do more to earn yours than I. Since Darling Husband won't let me keep goats, I merely shop, cook and clean. And give quiet advice on the occasional school project. And mind the woodstove. And plan for the weekly excursions afar. And, and and... But none of these activities require puncturing any skin so I think - know - I have it far easier than you. Congratulations, Farmer Jen!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01470834171872730413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884610467022224157.post-83406787778953561062013-02-15T22:19:21.433-08:002013-02-15T22:19:21.433-08:00That is one pretty smart tiara Jen.

On a commerical farm (at least 500 sheep), shepherds don't minister to the sick the way a hobby farmer can. <br /><br />I hate when my sheep are poorly, but get the most tremendous feeling of satisfaction if I can put it right. IF. I lose at least as many battles as I win. <br /><br />But, what other job comes with a tiara that matches one's overalls?

And, from where I sit (a comfortable chair, across the ocean, with only chickens for livestock), it looks like you are supremely in charge. You always seem to know what's wrong and what to do about it, and your animals seem to have the pleasant habit of recovering.<br /><br />Also, nice feeder!Tamar@StarvingofftheLandhttp://www.starvingofftheland.comnoreply@blogger.com
