Checking on the remaining mama turkey. She has taken up residence behind our A/C compressor. I’ve been checking on her the past few days. I haven’t seen any eggs hatch, a couple have popped (gone bad). And at this point, I’m not confident any of these eggs are viable any longer.

The loaves from yesterday’s post all done! I have two basic sourdough loaves, one jalapeno cheddar, and a sourdough rye loaf.

Today started early. Arya’s volleyball practice started up today, which of course runs from 0600 – 0800, which means we (well, one of us and Arya anyway) are up at 0500 to get her there.
A happy, but sleepy Arya, is ready to go to practice!

Another soccer practice. Randal enjoys being a big kid and playing as the goalie, just like big brother Evan!

Smolder started out the day, as he usually does, by laying in the middle of the nearest walkway that he can find. He likes to ambush feet that are coming by.

Arya has been doing try out for the last three days, being called back each time. She found out she made the middle school team! This is a big deal for her, as last year they only took two sixth graders! Quite the accomplishment for her! This also means early practices, 5 days a week. So we will see how it goes!
Congratulations, Arya!

Randal helps carry some fresh branches to the goats. They love the tasty fresh oak branches.

Today was a pretty chill day. The kids did their history lesson, as well as some typing lessons. They have been very into that lately.

I managed to grab the other two turkey poults that were finally out and about. Here they are, chilling in a pot until I got their new living area set up in the chicken tractor.
We have another hen who is sitting on a clutch, hiding behind our A/C compressor. We will keep an eye on her, I expect they should be hatching any time now!
Light Brown mama hen is on patrol. She isn’t very happy with us at the moment, and will rush the kids if they get too close to her.
Garrett is all packed up and ready for one of his journeys!
Arya was at volleyball tryouts, so I dragged the littles to Scouts with me. Garrett and Randal had a great time in the play kitchen area. Evan was less than thrilled, but he got to play chess, so partial win for him.
Goats gonna goat. Baby goats hanging out in their play house because they can.
