 *Here is a couple of funny stories about something that happened to me.

Story One-

Once when some of our baby goats were still being bottle fed, we had some milk replacer that we gave to them. I was making up some milk replacer and we had the bag of replacer out in our garage, we had been having problems with mice getting in the bag. So I was scooping out a scoop of   replacer and Susannah said teasingly "There's a mouse in there".  I brought the filled scoop in the house and set it on the counter. After I had my water boiling I dumped my scoop of replacer in, and I started screaming! It so happened that there was a mouse in the scoop when I scooped up some replacer. He was riding around in the bottom of the scoop, and stayed there until I dumped him into boiling water!  Thankfully he did not jump out of the pan. So I killed the mouse by dumping him in boiling water, and not even the cats wanted him because he was too hot!  :D

Story two-

Do you know what it feels like to be hit in the head with a pitch fork?  I was doing my evening chores and I was scooping (what is it about scoops?:D) out feed from the feed  barrel. It so happened that a pitch fork was right beside the barrel, leaning against the wall, and I stepped on the fork part of it.  I started to lean down to  scoop some food out and all of the sudden, WHAM!!! Right on the side of my head the handle of the pitch fork hit me! It sure did hurt, but within  a few minutes the pain was gone. So even if I didn't want to know what it felt like to be hit in the head with a pitch fork,  I got to find out. I guess it makes  for nice stories. :D

Welcome to our third giveaway!

This apron is made from Sense and Sensibility's  Edwardian Apron pattern.

It measures 41 inches long, and is a ladies size 10. Being an apron, it can easily adjust between a ladies 6 to a ladies 12/14.

This is a close-up of the material--it looks like a different color because the picture was taken in different lighting, but it gives you an idea of the design

     2.   Tell three friends about this giveaway. Leave a comment saying you did.

Be sure to leave your link, because of course I want to see these too!!!
