Horses and Friends

I love that Flicka is bringing new friends into my life... 

For 2 evenings now Flicka and I have been working on her leaving the barn and other horses with just me. I'll ride her up and down the road... first evening was ok, yesterday evening was alittle better. I'm so thankful that my friends are helping me.

From One Horse Love To Another...

I just love when someone surprises me with "Happy Mail"... it is so very sweet of them to think of me and when I get "Happy Mail", it puts a big fat smile on my face.  I received this nice, pretty, soft, warm scarf today... its my very 1st horse thing. I wore it this evening when I went out to collect eggs (6).

I'll think of my sweet friend every time I wear my scarf :)

Saying Goodbye to 4 of the 2012 kids...

This week was the big week... the 4 kids that were sold left for their new homes & families.  It helps that I'm friends with both the families that bought kids from me this year, makes is alittle easier to say goodbye.  I  love that I can go visit them from time to time & see how their doin, watch them grow on facebook.

So I took Dolly, Toby & June to their new home/family on Wed. 6/13 and I got to visit Princess Porkchop, but thats another post for later this week, so make sure you check back. I'll also be posting about the 2 kids that are stayin here on Our Little Farm :)

 Bye sweet babies... I'll visit ya soon :)

Blog friends meet & do some goat business...

Look who I got to finally meet in person... my blog friend The Goodwife over at Thickin' and Thinnin' I do believe some of yall read her blog too & if you do read it then you know everything thats gone on this past year & thats shes taken a break from blog world... sure do miss readin her blogs, they always made me smile. I think shes a very cool person. I dont remember how I found her blog or when but as soon as I started following her I knew I was gonna like her. We became really good blog buddies over the past year or so, we would even email each other. Then I was so happy to learn she was moving to my state then more excited to learn she was only gonna be about 45 mins. away... we both knew living so close to each other we were gonna have to meet face to face, so we got too yesterday evening. Long story short she had emailed me earlier this week to see if I knew anyone to buy her Kinder Dairy Milkin goats (4... 2 mommas & 2 kids) & if ya keep up with my blog then ya know I've been wantin some milkin goats, so I talked it over with the honey. Well we got everything worked out & road to her house & picked em up.

Her daughter with her crazy haired chicken

Showing me how to milk Tulip... I did it with her help on my 2nd try. I was surprised how easy it was. Now I gotta do it on my own. Then I'll be makin all kinds of goat milk goodies.

We had about a 45 minute drive home... 4 humans & 4 goats in a mini van, lets just say its a ride we wont forget, lol

Kay & I held the kids... Tulip & Star where stuffed in a dog cage in the back with Blake

Here they are 1st night at their new home... and the cool thing is The Goodwife & her family can come visit them & us whenever they want :)

You can read about Tulip and Star on The Goodwifes blog. It really makes me happy that I can go to her blog anytime & read about them.

Our Newest Farm Friend...

A friend brought us this cute lil duck today, he found it walking in his yard and didnt know where it came from, he lives in a neighborhood. He didnt want to just leave it so he thought of us, lol. I wish he had found 2 cause I dont want it to be lonely, I've got it in the house in my chickie brooder. I've got to do some reading on ducks since this is our 1st one... and advice would be helpful. We THINK is a Pekin Duck, what do you think?
