Another going and a coming

I didn't mention in my last Comings and Goings post that The Husband finally did it—he finally retired. Last Friday was his last day! I thought mentioning his retirement might get lost in an all about animals post, so I saved it for today where he only has competition from one cute little goat.

Meet Treesa. For about 5 minutes she was Teresa, but I decided to change it around a bit because my Grandpa used to pronounce my Grandma's name like that. This is my Irish grandmother who was my maid of honor.

Now that Hub and I are both retired, we are hoping to maybe find some time to visit Grandma's relatives in Dublin, my cousin Tony and his wife Rose. 

I am not sure if we will share with them the news that we have a goat named after Rose. We had a Tony too, but he is no longer with us...

Comings and goings

Spring is here. In the last warm week we made it up to 80° and humid, feeling a lot like summer. The grass is finally turning green, the daffodils are blooming, the birds are singing. 

Starting today we are chilly all over again. Spring is taking a break.

This is the time of year when animals are coming and going on the farm. We unfortunately ended up with 3 roosters—2 that were hatched by the broody hen, and a chick from the store who was supposed to be a hen.

They got along just fine, until they didn't. We sold 2 to our Greek friend, and kept this young man, the one who was getting beat up the most. He is going to have a tough job protecting his ladies from the fox family.

It is also the time of year when we sell most of our goat kids. Two lucky young men went to live a charmed life at the Neighsayer Farm with friends Tom and Julie.

And the final 2 cat pics just because. Yin and Yang. Yin and Yin.
