More Baby Chicks
Our little Sweetpea went all broody again, second time this year, and we let her sit on 7 eggs. Two weeks into her ~21 days til hatching, she managed to kick 2 of the eggs out, without breaking them. In fact, we found them in the next box over. There is no way to roll …
Spring Flowers
It seems like Spring arrived early and left early, like a nervous slip of a girl to her first ball. Below are some pics of flowers before the heat and wind of an early summer arrived. I don’t know what all these are, so feel free to jump in and tell me. …

Smokey and Her Kids
These little guys were born on April 1st, a Sunday, while we were out. Smokey did a great job. In many ways, she is an ideal goat – Big ears, not aggressive at all, fertile, and a good milker. However, she is not the brightest goat either. She can easily ‘loose’ her kids by going …
Plowing – Old School Style
Between the four of us, Jake has the most knowledge and experience at plowing. He is the tall, handsome guy with the big ears on the left. With an even temperament and a ton of patience, he is excellent to learn from. However, interspecies communication has not yet been perfected. Jake is about 20 years …
