February 25th

Hi all!

Are you enjoying all of this rain?? Like last week, I'm still preferring warmer weather and less mud, but I'm happy for our plants :-).  

We are starting get prepared for our goat kidding season. I made a post about what that means last year--click here for those of you who are interested in knowing more.  The dates are off on that post--this year we are expecting only three does to have kids and they are all happening in March. But just like last year, be prepared for everything scheduled on a Friday of a kidding to be null and void. When a goat goes into labor, my entire day is thrown off since I am at every birth.  Hopefully the goats will be nice and only kid in the middle of the week :-). 

But, in the meantime, we have lots of fun planned for now!

Here is what is on the agenda for this week:

Schedule for Friday, February 25, 2022

From 10-Noon(ish) we will break into group activities:
