Sometimes Kids Just Do Things Better Than We Do

We were mowing someone's yard today. Along with that comes shaping bushes, weed wacking and pulling weeds out of the brickway. We need to do all this while keeping an eye on Elijah. Well I will tell you one secret. KIDS LOVE PULLING WEEDS OUT OF THE BRICKS FOR YOU! It's one of those jobs you just HATE and they just LOVE. So it works out REALLY good! lol He is such a fine detailer to! Picking out every little weed. It may take him the whole time you all are doing what you need to do but it keeps him happy and in one spot lol! He also liked to sweep so we let him do that. Nobody likes these small jobs but they are just right for kids and they are helping you out. It can take twice as long if you have to entertain a child because then your not working. But if they are working with you lot's of progress can be made. I love my lil helper.

Poor Abigail

Abigail is our Boer/Nubian mix pictured below with her baby. She was five years old and she was a FF (First Freshener). After the baby was born I noticed her back end had not closed up properly. Well 4 hours later it did. She was weak but seemed like she would be okay. She never delivered the placenta and kept pushing and pushing. We gave her antibiotic to help any possible infection there may be. We also gave her Vitamin B Complex for appetite the next day. She never got an appetite and started paying less and less attention to her baby. We got home on Sunday when I noticed she had really gone down hill. She could not stand up and had to be dragged. Dragging a 130 pound goat is not very easy especially when she is in her house. Meaning she would have to be picked up then dragged. Then her back end turned black and I think it may have been starting to rot. She would not survive and possible way of getting the placenta out. I was feeling for a baby being stuck like I was up inside her there was just nothing there not even any placenta or anything. I felt her udder because I figured we might as well get her milk out before we shoot her for the baby. And it felt like a baby in there. Like it was coming breech. It felt like a head. So we shoot her and were trying to get her opened up in 4 minutes just in case the kid should be alive we would get it out in time. Well it was just bad mastitis which she probably got because she was so weak that she couldn't stand up. We buried her and it was just awful. There was nothing more we could have done but it is still sad to see your goatie die.

Okay now moving on...First take them out of the bag...LOL ;)!
This is just a joke as the recipe is so easy.
Then shell them!
You will need 2 cups or 1 pound of peeled peanuts.You of course need a little helper for the pouring!
Put the pound of peanuts in the food processor.Look at that concentration hehe!
I love how he has his tongue sticking out in that picture!Grind grind grind away!
Till you reach a creamy consistency or the way you like it!

Add salt or honey or both.
We did 1 Tablespoon of honey and 3/4 teaspoon of salt.
Oil is optional add to your liking.

The final product!
It is very yummy and way better than this stuff...


One good thing before I put this post to an end you know what is in your peanut butter when you make it. No preservatives if there is anything unhealthy you chose to put it in there. This is why we omitted the oil and used as little salt as possible.

Well there you go that is our Homemade Peanut Buttery adventure!
