Ally Cats 6 Weeks Old Kittens...

Soooo I never got around to posting about Ally Cats kittens born on 6/21/12... sad, I know, lol.  But heres a few pics of the lil cuties.  They are 6 weeks old this week and I'm trying to find homes for them... so far no luck.  There are 5 girls & 1 boy :)

I Love Them All!

The Buck House...

Honey was on vacation this week so we got a lot of stuff done in the barnyard that has needed to be done for while now. One of the things that got done was the Buck House for Ringo & Peanut, we covered it with cedar slabs, it looks so great and smells good too.

This bundle of cedar slabs was just $20.00

We put a window in the back and on one of the sides... we'll cover it for winter.  I love peeking in the window to see what the boys are doin, lol. 

  One side

The other side

The front

 The back... I love it! 

 My honey even made a cute lil flower box for the window

 Inside... they have plenty of room.  We do still need to cover some of the bigger cracks.

 The boys are happy :)

One of these days I'll have some of the main yard fenced off for their munching area... but for now Ijust let them out everyday while I'm out there giving everyone fresh water, then when I'm done I'll sit under the shade of a tree and watch the boys munch a bit longer before I walk then back to their pen... takin time to stop & smell the roses  goat poop, lol

A Buck In Rut...

My dear sweet 7 month old Ringo is in his 1st rut. Boy is he funny & NASTY, lol  He loves all of us here on Our Little Farm alittle too much these days. I'm pretty sure Star is in heat... she sure has been cryin lately.  I dont plan on any breeding goin on til Nov./Dec. Now my Bucks and Does are not in the same area so they are not around each other and as of this week we've made it were the Does arent even by the Bucks pen, they cant come in the chicken area which is right by the Bucks pen, I plan on posting about this when I have time... busy, busy, busy.  Here is some really great information on Bucks "Keeping A Buck &Weather"

Thank ya, Thank ya Very Much, lol  

Video of Ringo smelling my daughter through the fence... she was scared he was gonna bite here, hes not gonna bite her, he just wants to smell her so he can............ well, ya get the picture, lol

Scarlets 2nd set of ducklins in 2012

We knew she had another hidden nest under the shed, didnt know how many eggs she had or when they were due so yesterday while workin down in the barnyard I heard the chip sound of baby ducklings, I knew she had hatched them, so I grabbed my camera & went to the back of the shed... she was tryin to lead them out into the big bright world... she finally got them out and momma with her 8 ducklings made their way into the barnyard to this watering pan all the baby ducks love to swim in this pan :)

 They are so sweet & cute lookin

More Garden Goodies...

We have picked so many wonderful veggies from our garden since my last GARDEN GOODIES post. The lord has truly blessed us this year...

Garden fresh fruits and veggies are the best and we have been eatin so much of this goodness, I love it.  I've also canned and frozen some, given some to family/friends/neighbors, try to sell some when we can and  you know all the barnyard animals get their fair share... Well if Tulip doesnt eat it all first! 

How ya doin?

Just wanted to say Hi and sorry I havent been in blog world that much but its SUMMERTIME and the garden takes me away from everything...  Life is good here on Our Little Farm, busy... but good.  

Talk to ya later ;)

"First of the Month" Tulip, Star & 2012 Kids

 1st of the month and its time to link up with 

Murrieta 365: First of the Month - Round Two:

Subject: My Kinder Dairy Doe, Tulip

Tulips daughter Cocoa will be 2 months old on May 8.  

Then Stars son Boots will be 2 months old on May 12.

Everyone is doin great even though we are having over 100 degrees weather.  I make sure the goats (& other barnyard animals) have plenty of fresh cold water to keep them cool, they have lots of shade down in the woods to hang out in all day.  I havent been takin the girls to the neighbors pasture for one thing its just way to hot & they want to stand at the fence away from the water bucket & yell for their kids... they dont like being away from their kids. I dont take the kids to the pasture because it just too much tryin to walk the girls & their kids all that way, now if I had an opening for them on my property I'd let them all go, but I dont yet.  Hopefully one day.

 Dont know why but shes still alittle skittish.  I want her to <3 me.  She does let me pet her but any fast movement & shes gone.

They are so cute & love hangin out playin with each other :)
