We're working on finding sheep and goats again. No luck so far, but we've found some people to call, and we're running craigslist and Thrifty Nickel ads. This time we're trying to build a herd of purebred Saanens. The sheep'll probably be motley again. Yesterday I did some work on getting fences back up, so that when we do get stock again we'll have somewhere to put them. The basic setup will be the same as last time, but it'll be in somewhat better shape than last time since I'm using different fencing.

Owen's sitting here nagging me to get off. I'm not sure what he thinks he'll be doing, since I don't think he's done with school...

Robin has a new book coming out in September again! Yay! The title's Chalice, and so useful is the whole blog thing that she's already got us looking forward excitedly to September. And I'll actually have money! Mom and Dad are paying me back soon. I'll only get four hundred, since the other four hundred is going into silver ("For Anna's dowry," Dad says) without much choice on my part. I'm not going to argue, though, because for one thing silver's a safer investment than sheep. I mean, it won't up and die on me.
