The Kids

 I mentioned in the last post that our goat was due around this time, and that it would be really warm when she birthed... Well I was right. It was a difficult labor, and it took over three hours to get the twins out. But now they are busily melting all of our hearts and eating enthusiastically about a thousand times a day. . . maybe four. The second born has been getting some special attention, since she was in the wrong position when she was born and wasn't feeling well for the first day. 

The first day sleeping in a pen in the basement. It was 90 degrees and humid so we brought them in. 

I took them outside to play while it was cool this morning. They enjoyed themselves quite a bit. Their favorite game was to try jumping my feet, which they couldn't do.  So they would wind up and leap as far as they could...and land right on top of my feet. Thankfully they distracted themselves and began bouncing about and exploring again 

Summer Life

The Summer has kept me really busy lately, but I wanted to share some photos and some of what has been going on lately. 

A lot of our flowers are in bloom, and that makes me happy.

This Rose especially for some reason. :)

The garden was overflowing with Greens... Turnip, beet, Swiss chard, lettuce, kale, cabbage. . . It's been challenging my cooking ingenuity lately.

And then apparently my goat missed the memo about having babies in the Spring. So we're looking at delivering babies in humidity and warm weather. But I'm really excited anyway.  This isn't a very good picture and f her, but you get the idea.
