Six days and counting. I have 52 eggs in the incubator. *grin. They won't all hatch, but if they did, with my luck I would have 100% roosters . . . what a headache that would be lol.  I have standard cochins, bantam cochins, mixed bantams and dutch bantams thans to Matt in Morganton.  I also added 2 eggs from my black sex link hen and white rooster . . . not sure what he is.  He's suppose to be a Delaware, but looks more like a white Rock.  Needless to say I want those two to hatch just to see what they end up looking like lol

I moved my flock today. I always go in and look for wild cherry, etc when I move them, but today I missed something. Namely Jimsonweed. Most likely in the seedling stage. Normally my crowd won't touch the stuff, but as they say, "there is one dumb dork in every group". Mine was Abraham. This years LaMancha x Angora buck kid.

I had come inside to cool and had be in maybe a hour when I heard him baaing. He's a talker so to start with I didn't think much of it, but when the dogs started barking and his baas became, not traumatized , but different I went out to see what was going on. There he lay twitching. Jerky eye movements and the rest of the stuff that goes along with Jimson poisoning. To make a long story short, he is now sleeping it off in the back yard where I can keep a close eye on him, but he's finally alert, just very sleepy.

So the next time you are out walking and you see this plant PULL IT UP PLEASE!

Update: I'm very lucky. He is now up and grazing looking no worse for wear.

So we have had two days that have ended in rain.  My dad always spent the rainy days baking cookies (he was a carpenter, rainy days if the house wasn't dried in, meant he was home). I spend my rainy day's spinning and baking bread. 

I bought a Amish cookbook a few years ago and last night I tried out a new recipe for a whole wheat yeast loaf bread.  The footnote at the bottom of the recipe bragged that it was a soft as white bread.  Well after baking and tasteing it I have to agree.  The only changes I will make next time, and there WILL be a next time.  Will be in the pans I use.  The recipe said that it would make 4 loaves.  I think it would have it I had used 4 small pans, but instead I used 2 small and 2 larger.  Next time I will split it between the two larger pans.

The book is Cooking  with the Horse & Buggy People Vol II from Carlisle Press

Tonight I'm making a Garlic Bubble Loaf from the same book.

OK so I've been trying to figure out a good way to take my garden with me and today I received a instructable telling how to make a vertical garden. This looks like the perfect solution. For more information check out the instructable!

If you have been wanting a copy of either of my children's books now is the time to buy. 

Well not really.  I'm just in for 15 minutes to cool.  I've been setting pepper and tomato plants.  Specifically cherry and grape tomates and sarrano peppers.  So far I have 22 plants in the ground, about 1/2 and 1/2, I have 14 more pepper plants to set as well as 11 tomato plants.  You may ask what I plan on doing will all the tomatos and peppers if they all do well?  Mostly dehydrate them although some will go to salsa and so will be eaten fresh.  Still have to water them in, but so far so go. 

As a side note the area I'm putting them is what use to be a terrible poison oak patch.  I put the sheep and goats on it and left them there until they had pulled up the roots so I'm hoping by planting and mulching heavily I won't see so much coming back up.

Pictures later.

I chose Meet Me At The Wagon as my blog name for several reasons. The first is in reference to the wagons the shepherds lived in. The second is in allusion to the remodeling of my 1979 Fleetwood camper that I plan on turning into a modern day shepherd's wagon. What better place to meet friends over a cup of coffee. The third is that it will be a nice improvement over my old dome tent that is finally falling apart.
