Sorting out the goats

My latest boyfriend, the first kid born. I think he loves me.

6 kids in the Kia
On Friday, Blossom gave birth to 2 fine healthy large boys.

Late yesterday, after 2 days of confinement in the milking room with her 2 kids, Susan finally started feeding them. We were bottle-feeding the white one because only the boy was milking from Susan (and because The Husband likes bottle-feeding a kid now and then).

Yesterday Susan must have figured out what was going on and started feeding her little girl as well. This is important.

Also yesterday, we took the other 6 kids in the Kia to June for disbudding (don't ask). Now that we had them up close, we found that all 6 were boys. So Susan's little struggling girl is the only girl so far.

The remaining 3 does, if they are truly pregnant, are all kidding for the first time. They will probably only have one kid each, so we have 3 more chances to get another girl.

The latest weather report: We had a gorgeous sunny day on Friday. It reached 63° and melted almost all the snow. Then yesterday it went back to cold and windy and snowy all over again. That seems to be the ongoing trend...all winter long...

Snowing again this morning.

Welcome back from the British Virgin Islands, Tara. The least you could have done was bring us some more sun!
On Saturday, snow covering up the grass all over again
