That means time for Random 5 Friday. First of all, thanks to all the well wishes for Sallie and her kids. We’re still waiting. It’s not uncommon for them to appear to be in labor, especially when there is a front that goes through. It was a false alarm though. We continue to check her frequently. I’m sure she’d prefer to avoid the actual physical exam I’ve subjected her to a few times, but I have to know if her cervix is closed or if it’s open and she’s ready to deliver. I’m watching her especially closely because of the problems she’s had in the last couple of years. Hopefully, this time her kids will arrive safely and healthy and she’ll be able to feed them.
I’m loving the longer days! I get to go out to pasture with the goats in the evening. They seem to be enjoying the longer days too.
I can certainly tell I’m out of shape from the winter. My lack of exercising started last July with my foot surgery. I’m really enjoying my walks, but I’m really looking forward to even longer walks and not feeling like I’ve run a marathon afterwards.
The warm weather and sunshine means our snow is virtually all gone. We’re almost past mud season too. I actually wore shoes instead of rubber boots to do chores tonight.
My camera came back from being fixed after it came back broken from its cleaning. It works now. I’m happy. Although, I think I’ll continue using the old one outside through the kidding season.
I’m also sharing with Skywatch Friday, Camera Critters, Saturday’s Critters, and Weekly Top Shot.
Teresa, what kind of camera do you use, and how long a lens? Your pictures are so beautiful!
My old one that took all of these is a Nikon D3100. The lens is a 55-300.
Well, I’ll say this for Sallie – she certainly looks well rounded!! Gracious!
I’m glad you got your new camera back in good shape this time. How “old” is your old one?
Have a great weekend!
My old one isn’t horribly old. Probably five or six years.
good luck with sallie watch. glad you have your camera back!
Thanks!
The goats are looking so well. Glad the snow and mud have nearly all gone. Won ‘t be too long before the kids will come. Have a lovely weekend.
Thanks, Margaret. We’re waiting very impatiently for Sallie’s kids.
Sallie with her round belly looks already like a proud mother ! And Bambi looks as if she smells spring ! (That’s what I do to, but without success !)
Sallie certainly should be proud of herself. She’s a good mom. We just need to get them here safely. Bambi (and everyone) was really enjoying the weather.
I do hope Sallie delivers her kids without trouble this time. She sure LOOKS ready. :)) Lucky you to be past the mud stage. We’re still into melting snow here. But at least there’s no new snow in our near future. (I hope.) I don’t mind winter but this in between stuff is sooo messy.
I’m sure we’ll get muddy in April when we get our spring rains, but I’m hoping we stay dry through the kidding season at the end of the month. Hope your mud season is short.
Cute photos of your goats! Glad to see spring is coming to your area. Happy weekend!
Thanks, Linda!
Sallie is carrying quite the load. Good Luck to her (and you)! That ball of fire in the sky is awesome.
Thanks. She can use all the luck she can get.
Lovely photos of your goats! Great sky photo, too!
Have a wonderful week-end!
Thanks, Lea. You too!
Sallie is ‘watching you too’ ~ Wonderful photos of your ‘kids’ ~ love them!
Happy Weekend to you,
artmusedog and carol
She’s not happy with me because I have her shut in a pen now. It’s much easier to keep an eye on her that way though.
Bambi’s are always my favorite – they’s so happy-go-lucky!
They seem to be.
Cute! Sallie looks big. I’m also enjoying the longer days with more light.
Glad you’re enjoying your days. Sallie is huge!
All the best with the deliveries Teresa. I really like that last shot.
Thanks. We’re still waiting…
Sallie is definitely packing some cargo… wow! I hope she goes soon!
Lovely sunset!
I do too. I’m getting too old to have these late nights very long.
That photo of Myson is a hoot!
The View from the Top of the Ladder
Myson is a goofball. He’s a lot like his dad.
Love the shot of Myson. He’s a cutie.
He makes me laugh. 🙂
That’s a beautiful shot of the sun through the bare branches.
Thanks. 🙂 It was a beautiful evening.
That first one is a good eater – they are so funny
Sallie does not miss a meal. That’s for sure!
Poor Sallie! I hope she has a successful delivery soon. Glad your foot has healed from the surgery and you are getting back into walking. You must need to walk a lot, owning the farm!
My need to walk comes when I’m checking goats (especially kids) out in pasture. That will be coming soon! I need to get in shape for that right now.
I love Random 5 Fridays! I need to buckle down and get them in on time.
They are fun!
Cute shots of all the goats! I hope Sallie is ok! Thank you for linking up, sorry I am late commenting!
Thanks for hosting each week. Sallie and her kids are all doing well.
