    For the critters, have you ever seen the fainting goats? Those would be a fun addition! I saw some at a farm a few years back. Poor things literally collapse and pass out when startled, but they are so cute. Not sure if they're good milk producers or mainly just good for novelty though.

    Lol...what kind of survival instinct is that?!? (Of course. ..I have sheep...they have the opposite of a "survival instinct"...) I've seen fainting goats before and they are cute, but I don't think they'd be worth milking...I want to make goat's cheese and it takes a fair bit of milk to make a little cheese. - The first animal I got when we move to the farm was a Charolais Jersey cross cow. Named her Betsy. Learned how to go "fishing" and pull a calf that first spring (it was positioned wrong and she was having trouble)...then I learned how to milk, make cottage cheese and mozzarella, butter, ice cream, run a cream separator, clean a cream separator. :s

    Oh...and books. I collect books. Horse books, gardening books, homesteading books, carpentry book, understanding men's brains books, how to raise sheep, shear sheep, spin wool fiber into yarn books, hunting and fishing books, etc., and novels...mostly kids novels...because I wanted them to learn to love to read (and now they do.) There are books in every room in our house.

    Maybe the animals and the instruments and the bools are all just part of the same larger collection...I like collecting things that challenge me. Things that make me learn and grow.
