Farm Cats

Meet Lacey.
She came to us in April, during a snowstorm.
I think she may have been a drop off
as she would have had to travel over 3/4 of a mile
from any near neighbor to find us.

I brought her in and fed her.
She was miscarrying.
She is only 6 months old.
She spent a few days at the vet hospital.
She is fine now and is the most loving cat I have ever been around.

She fits in well at the farm.

And we think she is the absolute bees knees.


On another note,
Nyla and Willow are still up to their shenanigans.

Nyla:  You better stop staring at me or
I might just slap you up side the head.

I mean it!  Stop staring. 

Willow:  I'm not doing anything mom.  It's him not me.

Nyla:  Whatever.

Well Don't I Feel Stupid

When baby goats are born
the first second thing goat owners do
(after making sure the baby is okay)
is check for testicles or the lack of them.

Now, I don't know what I saw or thought I saw
when looking at this little runt who almost didn't make it


but for the past weeks, I have considered it a boy.
In fact, I almost gave him to Mary Ann and Keith
but had second thoughts because he was the runt and
I didn't know how he would hold up under the stress of
leaving mamma at only a few weeks old.

Can you imagine my embarrassment 
if it would have taken Mary Ann's vet 
to tell us she would not be able to 
wether this particular goat?

Well, much to my chagrin
and delight
SHE is a girl.

Obviously.

Happy Mothers Day

 Happy Mothers Day to all of my dear friends
and most of all
my own mother
who I have always loved,
but am just now, 
at this time in my life,
really beginning to understand.
I love you so very much mom.

Moab and Company


video


I let the baby geese out.
It was time to see who wanted to take care of them
besides me.

Moab won out. 

They are a handful to keep track of
but he does a superb job,

and they couldn't be happier.


He always

has an eye on them.

p.s.  the dandelions are here : )
