Working the Plan

So all the animals are moved, yayyyyyyyyyyy!  The plan is falling into place with time to spare before the new births.  Ducks are doing well.  Chickens have stopped laying, so going to have to have the talk with them.  It goes like this, ladies everyone here produces, you will produce one way or another.  Not that it works but it makes me feel better lol.  The reality is, chickens don't lay everyday.  There are breeds that lay most days but still not everyday.  The turkeys are fattening up nicely so that's good.  Rabbits are being bred today.  All in all the freezer will be filled soon.

So moving on to next stage of the plan.  Fix up the birthing stall.  We have four does that are pregnant so it will be well used in a month or so.  We also will be laying in plenty of hay and straw.  Then make sure the milking stands are in good shape.  We haven't had goat milk in a while so I'm really looking forward to having some again.  Just a side note, goat milk makes great pudding, it's so creamy.  Like I said always something to do.

It's important to set a goal and then work it.  Sure I would have liked to have had all this done earlier, but life happened.  So we took our time and still worked the plan.  Too many times folks are willing to give up at the first sign of adversity.  True character shows itself when adversity presents.  Will you say well I can't do this or that because of this or that or will you find a way around this or that?  Will you step back momentarily and look for another way to complete your goal? 

Too many of us want to travel the road of least resistance.  The problem with this is you will never find a road without any bumps and turns.  Sooner or later you will run out of straight highway.

UPDATE:  Chickens are laying

Have a great and blessed day.
