Our new Goats

Good Morning! We have been right out straight around here. I planted a row of peas Saturday, and the boys and Scott went turkey hunting. Timothy shot a 15 lb turkey. I should have the picture tomorrow. You all would not believe what I have been doing with my children. Let's just say it doesn't take much to make me happy. It involves a barn, a shovel, a truck, and a whole lot of stuff 4 cows left behind :0 My flowers and garden will be very happy this year! I was so happy because my dirt is very poor, and my garden didn't do too well last year.

I am finally posting the pictures of our first and second trip to Mapleshade Farm.


Here I am trying too hard to milk this goat. I did finally catch on after 3 or 4 tries.

Timothy was a natural!!

Acelia had no problem at all!

Dean had no trouble.

David did great!

Scott had no trouble! I guess I was just a little nervous I was going to hurt her. Once I relaxed a little I started to get the hang of it.

These next few pictures were from yesterday!

A little buck kid! Cute as a button!

These are the twins that were born right after our first trip. One of these is for sale.


This is Lance, David's goat. He can not wait to bring him home. We need to spend a lot more time with him, learning all we can before we bring him home so we will both be happy.

This is my goat Paper, she is so sweet. I took her for a little walk yesterday, and she was so good.

This is Ginger Snap, we are going to call her Ginger though. This is Acelia's new baby. I love the black boots she is wearing.

They bonded very nicely. I think Acelia is very excited. We can't wait to go again.

Hope you all have a great day. It's raining here, and I am thankful , I can get some house work done!
