Thank You Natalee for All You Have Done
You are truly an angel. Watching you grow is pure joy. You gave me the time to heal that I so desperately needed. There was no way I could have continued caring for our critters with this foot injury. Thank you so very much. Into week four of the broken ankle is so much better …
Our 2011 babies have started arriving
This little lady arrived this morning around 9:30. Being born in the daytime is soooo much easier on the care giving humans. Thank you for this one. We name our babies after country western singers. I'm open for suggestions. Her mama's name is Pearl. She was the last baby born AND the only girl born …

With all this winter weather, I’ve had …
With all this winter weather, I've had to spend more time caring for the goats than usual. Yup, I'm behind on everything. Again, like everyone else across the country. Stay warm, everyone

The goats, the song, and the sentiment combined put a smile on my face, warms my heart, and sparks even more of the Holiday spirit within …
Make that 15 baby goats
Two mamas delivered twins today. Even the one I didn't think was pregnant. Silly me. Only one more doe in waiting. I'll keep you posted.
We’re up to eleven baby goats
... with two more does in-waiting. Yup, I promise. This is the absolute last year that I breed this many goats. While I get great joy in working with the mamas and the babies, caring for them (a labor of love) is wearing on me. On day one (the first 12 to 16 hours) I …
