It has been a pretty slow week here at Wind Ranch. Conquistador’s hoof is getting better. We got 3 more round bales stored for winter. The farmer only got 2 bales off of our portion of the land he baled this time. Our 3rd cutting was not too good. He gave us an extra bale in the last cutting.. So I had to pay for 2 bales of the 3 this time. He was kind to give them to us at 60 a pop. The price of hay right now is really insane. I really should snake away at least a ton of small square bales… But those are going for 6 bucks a bale right now.. A ton is about 50 bales.. 50 x 6 bucks is….. you do the math. Too much.
The goats are learning how to climb trees. We have one, along the fence line that they could climb and escape. The other side of the fence is the Crazy Chicken lady’s land. If the goats go there, we will end up having to call the sheriff again- except this time we would press charges if they do what they did last time. Luckily a goat can not “scare” a state fair chicken. So holding the goats for ransom would not really work. Plus I would like to see them catch Jamie Lynn. He he he..
In other news.. I got “prenotice” that Wells Fargo plans to lay me off in 3-4 weeks. They have offered me a severance package that lasts up to 5 months. They also offered me my job back in a lesser paid role. I am not to happy with them; I do not want to make 20k less and go from a level 5 position to a 3. I am already networking and interviewing around town. Not many are reapplying for the lesser roles. They are getting nervous. If they come back and offer our old jobs in their true extent, then there would be movement in applications.. I know many who are leaving. I would have severance until March. Woohoo- paid vacation!
This news does put a damper on my plans to get another horse. 
It appears that Croy also plans to not do
anything for my birthday (this week) because we will not have income after March, if I do not get a new job. Grrrr.. I am not laid off YET.
Sage had a good soccer game last week. Here she is on the right. That girl is photogenic. She scored a couple goals and then shut down.
Xoe had a game this morning and did pretty well. The other team had 12 girls and they all had major breaks when they got to sit out. Our girls had 2 subs. Plus in the next town they have 10 yr olds on their team because they are a smaller community and haven’t as many players. Our girls all looked like kindergartners next to them. We lost, but not too bad.. All I can say (and not sound too big headed) is that Xoe amazes me..
