Silo is Ringos shadow

Silo came to live here 3 days ago, he still cries but not as much, each day is better. He has really takin up with Ringo, that makes me so happy.  He really is Ringo's lil shadow.  Its so cute to watch them munching in their area, I hung out and took pics of them today.  Ringo will pull down tree limbs to eat the leaves and Silo nibbles too.  

Something must have been pretty yummy they didnt even notice I left.

Flicka and Friends in the Big Pasture...

Decided this morning to drive over to Rachels to visit her and visit with Flicka... Sunday night Rachel moved the horses to a bigger, better pasture, its a HUGE area, the horses are so happy.  Flicka has 3 friends... Nelly, Jack & Jessie. I feel very blessed that Rachel is letting Flicka stay at her farm for now.  Pretty soon I'll be riding Flicka and Rachel will be riding Jessie around the farm, I'm so excited. 

 Today would have been perfect...

 We found them and they came right up to us...

 Flicka, Nelly, Jack

 I think she missed me as much as I missed her.  

She was really enjoyin being loved on today

Rachel bought Jessie (AKA Lily) from my SIL,

My new buckling Silo

I'm bringing this beautiful boy home Saturday!  

Happy Mothers Day To Me, From Me

Silo is a is a purebred, registered Nubian buckling.  I really didint intend to buy a buckling this year but just look at him, hes beautiful... I was on fb tryin to catch up with some pages I follow, got on Dot's and Doe's Dairy page and seen he was back up for sale... I couldnt believe my eyes, had to look twice, it was gettin late and I was tired, plus sick.  But nope it was true... the lady who was gonna buy him backed out, so his owner posted this along with his picture, "Silo will be for sale May 13th unless the lady who previously wanted him decides otherwise. He is a purebred, registered buckling and I am waiting on his paperwork to come in. He is 175.00 PM me if you're interested. Thanks!" I thought " Why Not?"  I figured it was a long shot that I'd actually get picked to buy him and then there was the fact we live in different states, but wouldnt know unless I tried, so I sent her a message.  Hes mine... all the details are getting worked out.  My friend Rachel and I are takin a girls road trip this Saturday to meet and pick up Silo. I'm so excited about next years kidding season... I better see spots! Silo and Itty Bitty are gonna make me some BEAUTIFUL babies.

Goat Kids and a Rock...

I love watching goats play on logs, stumps, big rocks and try to add them to my goat areas when I can... we had this teeny tiny rock in our front yard that many months ago my honey dug up with just a shovel and got it out of the ground with just that shovel and some boards... sometimes it would be so nice to own a big tractor, lol.  Then a few days ago he suggested we move it to the goats new munching/hang out area so we did.  Honey did most of the work... it didnt take that long but it was some hard manual labor moving this lil rock but you know what it was all worth it... Just look at these happy kids playin on it!

My very favorite pic from this shoot... 

Comet, Miss. Pearl and Clover

"How do we get down from this big, tall rock?!?!"

I'm King of the Rock. No, I'm Queen of the Rock... No, I'M QUEEN OF THE ROCK!

* Honey is on vacation this week so we will be doin lots of good stuff around the house, yard, barnyard and garden... I'm gonna try to keep up and blog about it all.
