Happy Friday!

I am so glad it’s the weekend.  Something about that long, hectic spring break and then going back to work makes me think this needs to be a nice relaxing weekend.  I’m starting it off with just a bunch of pictures.

It opened! So peachy and pretty!

Some critters are still jealous of the divided herd

The herd is enjoying pasture again

The rhubarb I planted last summer is coming up.

new leaves emerging

I think it regrets that decision after last week’s cold weather.

That bigger leaf was really frosted/frozen.

Hilda’s boys need a bit more than she can provide.  Jasper is good at taking a bottle; Horace prefers skimming from the other moms.

Happy weekend!

Another Photo Dump

I haven’t shared a lot this week other than our crazy weather and kidding.  So here’s some other things from around the farm and house.

My bratopotamus Zora

My Christmas cactus is blooming again. It loves the new plant stand and the window.

The little one my mom gave me is getting ready to bloom too–it’s peach!

And look how much closer it is to opening since I first created this post.

Wanda

Guess who’s laying now!

This crazy weather had Dolly getting sick; she’s back in the garage. I need a bigger garage.

Odie drinking snow because nobody likes the fence I put across the barnyard.

So enjoy the pictures and I’ll get you caught up soon.  My new big hurdle is trying to figure out how to get all the goats out of the garage. Sigh…

A Waiting Wednesday

After our cold start to Tuesday, the temperatures warmed up.

All that snow melted

By afternoon it was really windy and about sixty degrees.  And this was the only decent day over all of spring break to give birth.

I took the sweater off Melba.

And so I waited.

And by the end of the day, zero goats had gone into labor.

Purl (and she is not stuck)

But I did manage to trim a couple of sets of hooves.

Perdita

Caroline got more probiotics.  She is not doing well at all.

I did some housecleaning.

I picked up all the cardboard Salem has shredded.

I did some more knitting.  And of course, I wrote this blog post.

I didn’t have pink in the right weight, so the next one is camouflage.

And the sun set.

And I waited and hoped that someone would go into labor before the rain and cold came on Thursday.
