Spring 2012 Births: Kittens

Well we've had more kittens born on Our Little Farm this year... Ally Cat blessed us with 5 lil cuties monday mornin. It looks like we have 3 boys (the black ones) & 2 girls (the tortoise/calico ones). I do plan on gettin her spayed this year. Now I gotta work on findin good homes for them.

Shes a good sweet momma

To see more pics. go here Ally Cat & Kittens

I've got chicks hatching too... so stay tuned ;)

Yep, Hes Spoiled!

Just look at my sweet Ringo... I fed him his bottle then he decided he needed to get up in my lap for some much needed snuggle time . Its been a very busy weekend so I really havent had much time to hang with the animals... run out in the mornings do my barnyard chores & run out when I got home at night. I spent about 30 mins out there with him & the girls.

Love My Ringo...

& he loves me ;)

Ellie Mae needed some lovin too

Beautiful Piper...

Ringo 1.5 Months Old

Ringo is 1.5 months old this week. Hes doin great. As of yesterday mornin he weighs 24 lbs. he is drinkin 16 oz. of his mommas milk, I still go milk her every mornin. I feed him 2 times a day... plus he eats hay, alittle grain, grass & stuff. I love lookin out my kitchen window while washin dishes & seeing him & the goat girls walk around the barnyard & lil patch of woods lookin for leaves & stuff to nibble on, it makes me smile everytime. Ringo & the goat girls all get along just fine, someone will bump him here & there. Hes still sleepin in his lil pen. Hes such a happy lil buckling. He loves when I let him come out of the barnyard to hang with me & runs all over the place. Porkchop still hates him & tries to go after him whenever they are in the same place.

Goodbye Goat Milk...

Well I do believe its time to say Goodbye to my wonderful yummy goats milk for a few LONG months, lol. This is how much I've been gettin the past few days from both girls... sad, very sad. So I decided today its just not worth it, might as well dry em up, their both about 2. 5 months pregnant, due in May... so I can start milkin them again end of May beginning of June.

I've been milkin the girls for 5 months September 11 2011 was the 1st day I milked Tulip & Star... My Adventures In Goat Milkin...

Versatile Blogger Award...

I'd like to say Thank You too Mountain Valley Farms for pickin Our Little Farm and 14 others for the "VERSATILE BLOGGER" Award. I have to tell seven random things about myself

So here they are...

1. I dont take my life for granted... God blessed with a wonderful one, its not perfect, but I love it & thank him everyday for it.

2. Never in my wildest dream did I think I would be a country girl growin up, I was a real city girl... but the country girl was deep down in my soul just waitin to come out. Couldnt imagine my life any other way... I have all these wonderful barnyard animals I take care of everyday, I learned how to can, freeze the foods from our garden, learned how make alot of the food I feed my family from scratch.

3. Taught myself how to crochet about 4.5 years ago with the help of Youtube, one of my husbands Aunts & crochet friends that live in my computer, lol... Heres a cute lil doll I made over the weekend.

4. I hate to clean house... So when my wonderful husband starts cleanin, I think to myself "You Go Boy", lol ;) I'd rather be out doin barnyard chores instead.

5. I really dont want my teenagers to grow up... even though they drive me nuts from time to time I so wish I could freeze time & have our family stay like this forever.

6. I come to realize its the simple things that really make me happy... Simple Is Good.

7. I have alot of great friends that live in my computer, that I love to share with, talk to, learn from everyday... I dont have that many real life friends, I've learn to except that & go about my life.

* I usually dont pass awards along... but if you would like to tell me 7 random things about you feel free.
