Every time you feel in God's creatures something pleasing and attractive, do not let your attention be arrested by them alone, but, passing them by, transfer your thought to God and say: "O my God, if Thy creations are so full of beauty, delight and joy, how infinitely more full of beauty, delight and joy art Thou Thyself, Creator of all!
- Nicodemus of the Holy Mountain

You can’t get to joy by making everything perfect. You can only get there by seeing in every imperfection all that’s joy.

For Sure, Most Likely...

My comment last night to CR:

Hi CR-
They're only going about 30 miles from me. I think they'll just be there for three weeks. That should cover at least one heat period for each of them. Not having bucks around, it's hard to catch the heats, but I think I've observed at least a couple in succession for each doe, and they're about 18 days apart at the most (I think). Right now I think I have two does just finishing a heat and one about to start, so I could start getting babies by the last days of April. I'm super excited! :)

...and this AM my doe who was going into heat is already in standing heat, I'm pretty sure. If it doesn't last until tomorrow afternoon, I guess she'll be there for sure until her next cycle. That's kind of a bummer, because they most likely will be gone for three weeks. I was hopeful that even though I am planning for three weeks, it would take less. But, I won't be pushing it as much as far as the weather is concerned. If her heat doesn't last, then for sure no kids in April.

I keep wanting to say "for sure, most likely". Now, that shouldn't make any sense, but it does if you're doing any kind of gardening of farming. There is definitely a, "for sure, most likely" and a "for sure, most likely, not".

    It's an almost-definately, kinda-sorty, probably-for sure thing!! :)

    You forgot about the word "should" that we all rely upon up here.

    She SHOULD come into heat while she's there.

    I SHOULD have enough tomatoes to can if I put in 53 full-sized tomato plants.

    We SHOULD be able to get the hay in before it rains again.

    We SHOULD be able to get the new roof finished before it snows.

    ;o}

    LOL! Yep, I guess life is uncertain.

    Thanks, Kelsie, for your kind thoughts and the blogger know how. I didn't know where to look for that. :)
