Day 17

Saturday, it's raining a bit today. We have some good news for the farm, and we are going to start going to a (for now) fee-free farmer's market. That'll help us sell our fruits and veggies and chickens.

Still looking for a job. We had another dog surgery to deal with last night, and I want to make sure we can pay for it, as well as put money aside for the future, inevitable vet issues we are likely to have on the farm - from doggie injuries, to problematic sheep pregnancies - whatever it takes. I won't let an animal die on my watch unless it truly is their time. Last night's issue was no fault of anyone's, it's a common large breed dog issue - and it wasn't his time. But Murphy's law does dictate that if an animal of ours is going to have serious issues, it's going to be after the regular vet is closed, and we have to pay the extra special emergency vet fees. He's going to be fine, by the way, and we should be bringing him home tonight or tomorrow morning.

Aside from that, holiday weekends mean it's project time on the farm. It's hotter than blazes out here, and hopefully I'll see some more job posting activities on indeed.com net week!
