I was really enjoying the spring weather, but winter made a return. Duke and Duchess have spent their entire life sleeping in the dog house. They love it!
Duchess
Our weather turned cold, and the green house door kept blowing shut, so Blaze had to join them in the dog house.

Don’t worry, I put them in the green house and shut the door so they were warmer because we had a winter storm go through that left a half inch of rain, horrible winds, and then freezing cold with a bit of snow.
Today is still horrible cold and damp and windy. At least the weather has improved a little. Duke and Duchess are back out in the dog house while Blaze browses in the yard.

It’s not good kidding weather. Clover’s boy got chilled, so he’s had a bottle and is snuggled in a blanket on the couch.
I will be moving them to a warmer place. I’m also going to shut Dolly in the nice insulated room in case she decides to kid tonight.

I also had to go out to pasture in this cold to check my Mary since I just finally decided she was bred last week.
Lily, Bambi and Vixen
There she is browsing and looking quite boring. She is so tired of me feeling her udder to decide whether or not she’s pregnant that I can’t get near her now. I don’t know how I can get her over here to the kidding pens.
Vinnie, Mary and Sallie
I also checked Victoria. She is the one that is driving me crazy because she was with the buck and she doesn’t look pregnant, and I don’t think she’s making an udder, but it’s been a weird year.
Victoria
Before you tell me there’s no way she’s pregnant looking that svelte, here’s Stormy.

About eight hours later, she gave me a twin buck and doe (in the middle of the night and cold).
I have two or three to go, and I will be quite relieved when we are back to spring weather and all the kids are safely on the ground!
If you want to join me for Friday’s Hunt, the items are at the top of my side bar. I might have found an M by then. Hopefully…
Sharing with Good Fences and Skywatch Friday.

A busy time for you. Enjoy those precious kids. Thanks for the pictures
I love kidding! It might be crazy and stressful, but it’s my favorite time of year.
I do love your post!
Thanks!
loved the little ones in the dog house. i hope all stay warm and well!
They are doing well. We’re back to more seasonal temperatures. Thank goatness!
I like your expanding goat family, and a beautiful sky shot!
Thanks, Peter. I like it better with sunshine now!
What darling pictures! Adorable babies! Maybe somebody needs to talk to mother nature nature! Winter is over! At least according to the calendar it is! 😊
I know. We are back to more seasonal temperatures. Thank goatness!
I enjoyed looking at the goats.
Worth a Thousand Words
Thank you. They are so much fun!
Boo Hiss for winter! Keep those kid pictures coming…they make my days! 🙂 Hope it’s going well!
Glad you enjoy them. Crazy but good!
They are so cute peeking out of the doghouse!!
Those two won’t know what to do when they move over to be with the rest of the herd.
Oh Teresa, what a busy time for you….kidding and keeping them warm. Hopefully Spring will settle in soon. If it was me, I would have them all on the couch wrapped in blankets!! Love the two snowy white kids…..you might have to call one a ‘M’ name to fit in with Friday Hunt….LOL!
Well, the wet spot I found on the couch this morning is a good reason to just have the weather outside cooperate. LOL
You are taking pretty good care of them.
Thanks, Rajesh. I try my best.
Pity about the change in weather but everyone looks good and is well cared for, thanks to you.
I try. Wouldn’t have been able to do it without my mom. That’s for sure.
The juxtaposition of bucolic images and stressful kidding is a feature of your life, I guess. I hope you have a little ‘time off’ for the Easter weekend and that all the kidding cooperates!
So far so good with kidding. I wouldn’t trade my life for the world!
Hello, the winter is just crazy! I love the kids in the doghouse. I hope all is going well with the kidding. Happy Friday, enjoy your weekend! Happy Easter to you and your family.
Thanks, Eileen. Happy weekend and Easter to you too.
Sorry, it turned back to winter! Have you thought on Mary for the M?
Have a happy Easter – I link up for Fri Hunt, but I’m away …
Luckily, this time of year winter doesn’t last long. Mary cooperated quite nicely for me to use her. 😉
I don’t know how my comment got put up there in the middle!
Sorry to be so late commenting. It’s always fun to see what your little goat family has been up to. Looks like it’s the seasons for babies. How sweet. Sorry that you’ve had such cold weather though for this time of year.
It certainly has been busy this past week. Glad to have you stop by.
I’m sorry to hear you are in the cold again. I’m so far behind, but I don’t want to miss any happenings at Eden Hills, so you might find me popping in all over the place. I hope a warming trend is in your future. Love the kid on the couch – and the doghouse duo.
No worries! I am so far behind in visiting people, I know I’ll never be caught up. I just keep plugging away.
