What a boring entry title!  The gray morning is keeping me from waking up enough to give it a better one though.

 

Still working on the to-do list.  Yesterday we got the goat fence taken care of and that was the biggest item on the list so I'm very happy about that.  The goats are even happier than I am since they have a larger area to graze with nice fresh grass to munch.  I got the dogs' yearly boosters taken care of except for the rabies and they are scheduled to go in at 11:00 for those.  In KS you can give your dogs all their shots *except* for rabies - a vet has to do that one.  Today when we're at the vet's office we'll be setting up our two pups for their spay and neuter -- don't need any more of the critters than we already have, no matter how much my oldest daughter wants puppies! 

 

You can save a good amount of money giving your dogs their vaccinations yourself, especially if you have a puppy that needs its puppy shots every four weeks or if you have quite a few dogs like we do.  I can buy the yearly booster shots at the local co-op for about $6.50 each.  The vet charges $35 to give the same shot.  With five dogs, two of them young-uns who needed their puppy shots over the summer, that adds up to a pretty decent savings!  Giving vaccination shots is super-easy, even for someone who hates needles as much as I do. 

 

The weather is colder now - no more 60 degree weather.  Yesterday was on the 40's and today looks the same, except for today is very foggy and looks like rain.  I'm sure glad we're done with that fence and don't have to tromp around in the cold and wet today!  Today is a day for hot chocolate, seed catalogs, and graph paper!

Just had to comment on your gorgeous blog! I am a fan of daisies- such a simple and beautiful flower.
My 2nd dd has the knickname Bumblebee so we love (and collect) different "bees". When I was younger we had friends with bee hives. They didn't keep them up though. I miss the free honey.
I made strawberry honey to give to friends (with fresh homemade bread) @ Christmas and it was quite the hit. Do you flavor your honey?
