And We’re Off

If all went as planned, Mom and I left for Indianapolis to spend the night with my nephew.  This is the first of my pre-scheduled posts.

Trace is not looking like she’ll give me a July baby.

I decided I would split the top two responses to my survey.  Including my FB responses, it was pretty evenly split between posting farm content (with vacation stuff added in if I got time) and nothing because I’m on vacation.

I have several posts prescheduled with farm content.  I’ll try to at least give you an update on where I’m at on those days I don’t have something scheduled.  But, I might not get it done.

Bull

Salem

Hopefully, you’ll enjoy the farm posts, and I know I can’t get enough of talking about genealogy and history and cemeteries.  Hopefully, you won’t find any of those posts too bad.

Caroline

If I know myself, I’ll already be missing my critters and worried about them.  But I have left everyone in capable hands.

Hanging In Pasture

Everyone is doing well hanging in the front pasture.

Wanda

Popcorn

Ava (she is huge!)

It took Caroline and Tansy a day to get back in the groove of things.  Ducky and Alice are having a blast.

The wethers are not nice to my big oak trees.

Casey (his belly spot makes me smile)

Casey, Pretzel (wishes she were taller), and Moose

Brats.

Casey and Myson (look at his eyes…)

Everyone is doing well.

Copper Works

I still, after several years of dealing with the copper issues in the herd, still feel like I’m always guessing.

Like–why some goats go bald so quickly.

Flower

But I will say, in the last week I’ve noticed my three girls with hair loss are all growing hair again!

Haley

Look at those tiny hairs coming in!

Cinnamon

Flower

Yay!  Now I just hope I can keep them going in the right direction.
