Spring

 Spring is truly here, so I thought to show the joys of spring on our farm. The goats are very happy to be out of the barn for most of the day.  Maybell and Junebug, our last kids of the season are truly enjoying their new freedom. 

Luna on the alert, of course her charges are all out in the field.

The run for the far field.

Little Daisy runs to keep up.

Still running.

Gaining speed.

Not quite there yet.

Archie's favorite spot on the wheel.

Maybell takes a snooze in the sun.

June bug is completely worn out.  Her first day out was quite exhausting.

We had 2 ducks hatch in our incubator.  This is #1.

This is #2.

One of our Turkey Hens is very confused and madly in love with the truck.

Meet Elvis.

Nothing says warm weather better than a dust bath.

Final additions

So far this year we have been a little boy heavy in the barn.  The scales were tipped by 2 on the 5th.  Flo gave us 2 adorable little doe lings, little carbon copies of herself.  

Maybell came in at 6.4 lbs.

June Bug followed at 6.7 lbs. 

 We had some concerns, Flo teats are quite large and the babies couldn't get them into their mouths.  June Bug was showing signs of becoming too chilled.  With some work, the girls were fed and clothed and put to bed. I find that I have to milk Flo a bit on one side and then the girls have not trouble with size. 

All hail the great udder, giver of lots and lots of milk.

 There were signs of pop-corning today so all is good. 

  The girls may not have their daddies beautiful color, but they have their mommies waddles, my favorite goat feature of all.
