Taking care of this puppy is so much fun. I have feeding time down to a science now. First, I boil water in my tea kettle. I only put in about two inches so this part is fast. Then I put two tablespoons of raw goat milk in the bottle and set it in the … Continue reading Feeding Time for Ladybird

Connections made at the Athens Farmers’ Market!
I went over to Athens to the Farmers' Market this morning. While there I happened upon bags of Enterprise (a type of apple) apples which are one of our favorite kinds.

She's quite perturbed with me this morning. The goats are thrilled that I tossed some sour oranges and wrinkly apples in there with them all. … Continue reading Sooooo ready for spring!!!

Figuring out the new barn
I've been trying to figure out what I want in the new barn we plan to build this summer. This is our little mini barn that we currently use (this pic was taken on a cold night so the heat lamps are lit and glowing in the windows): I have piles of sketches, printed tips … Continue reading Figuring out the new barn
