Colors, Marshmallow, and the farm

We had some good fall color while the visitors were here (first pic), but now it is mostly gone. We also had lots of rain while they were here, and now it is mostly sun. It's a trade off. I'm not sure which I prefer.

We have 10 female goats who were excited to meet their new boyfriend, Marshmallow. He was transported in his private limousine on Tuesday by our goat lady friend, Karen.

If the girls accept him as the purebred Saanen stud that we think he is, he might just earn himself a permanent home here. And if he does stay, we might just have to change his name to honor our friend and neighbor with the long white hair and beard.

The 2 silos that often appear in the background of our photos belong to our neighbor. The farm has not been active for several years, only the fields are used for hay. He recently demolished the 2 large barns, and the silos will probably come down in the next few days. 

When we first moved, I thought the falling down barns were messing up our beautiful view. Now I will truly miss seeing them. They made the perfect backdrop to our tiny farm here at Lester's Flat.
