Crochet and Goat Watching...

Its was a beautiful morning and day... 

The kind that makes ya just wanna be lazy, sit outside in the shade and enjoy it. So thats just what I did, calling for chances of rain the rest of the week, so that means I'll be stuck in the house and thats when I'll do my house chores. 

My Kinda Morning!

 Found a nice shady spot to crochet, watch goats and sip my lemon/strawberry water

 My girl Daisy was sat with me.  I was also writing down notes for the upcoming wedding... Daughter is gettin married here on Our Little Farm June 8, 2013

Garden's lookin gool

 My view of the goats...

 Spirit... my bottle baby wether

 Why does the grass alaways taste better while eating it through the fence?

Tulip and her March 21, 2013 Quads

I love just watching them go about their day...

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

 Flicka... shes so pretty

 Flicka, Jack and Jessie

 Nelly... I think shes the Boss Mare of the group

 Jack, Jessie and Flicka

My girl Flicka finally coming over to see me... 

she last on the pecking order so I think she had to make sure it was ok

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

She was really enjoyin being loved on today

 Rachel and her new mare... Jessie.  

Rachel bought Jessie (AKA Lily) from my SIL, 

so Flicka and Jessie know each other.

 BEAUTIFUL Day

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. 

*** If you'd like to read about Silo and where he was born visit their fb page: Dot's and Doe's Dairy.  His Dam is Spots of Sandal Veronica and His Sire is My Three Kidds Domino.
