Mud!

Baby goats are great. This was Geraldine at just a few days old. We should have newborns coming in less than a month.


Well, Tuesday was finally a dry day. Lots of rain Saturday night, all day Sunday, drizzle and showers Monday. Rain this afternoon and 1-3 inches thru Thursday. Add to that windy with gusts up to 60mph. There is a general worry about trees uprooting due to the wind blowing on roots weakened by the rain. We'll have to batten down the hatches tonite.

The turkeys and chickens dislike the rain. The goats really hate getting wet. I don't enjoy doing chores in a downpour becuase all the animals get a bit disagreeable - goats don't want to come out to be milked. The only really happy ones seem to be the pigs. They just curl up in their house and wait for a til it passes. Then they are as happy as.... well, as a pig in mud.
