Rain, Rain, Go Away

We’ve had way too much rain this fall.  It’s really starting to be an issue.  It’s already why we’re having such a bad worm season.

Now it’s impacting getting crops out of the fields.

Everybody is sick of mud.

We want some nice dry weather for a while.

And sunshine.

That would be good.  Sunshine would be really good.

Trying to Avoid Mud

Goats do not like wet or mud.  They are working hard to find ways to get comfortable and stay clean and dry.  Most just pile into the barn.

Some have gone over to the greenhouse (if you layer your goats, you can get more into the space).

Cutie, Pistol, Dolly and Astra

Others are more creative.

You’d be amazed how many goats will fit on one picnic table.

Aphrodite, Litha, Zisa, Loki, Reva, and Caroline

When the moms go out to pasture in this horrible wet weather, the kids stay up in the barnyard.

So they come out to play!

Hopefully, we’ll get to dry up.

Spring Storms

We’ve had storms with a lot of rain the last few days.

It’s done wonders for making my grass turn green.

There’s plenty of water in the ditch.  It actually looks like a little stream.

The llamas are happy to be out there most of the time.

It’s good for helping my moms gain weight and feed their kids.

And today we had beautiful sunshine!
