What a GREAT day!!

I was able to spend the whole day at the farm today and relax and do a little reflecting, instead of working! It was a nice cool rainy day, perfect!


I thought I would share a little of it with you.... Enjoy!

You truly have some GORGEOUS goats. Loved the pics. Your place looks a bit like mine; pasture is so tall, can't even see the goats half the time.

Nice pictures & beautiful goats! It looks like they were having as Great a day as it sounds like you did! It is awfully nice to just hang out with the critters & not have to worry about a million other things or rushing off to go somewhere.

Thank you all for the kind words!

It was just one of those days... where time stands still and nothing else really matters. Aren’t we all so lucky?? No matter what else in going on in life, we get to come home to these wonderful creatures.

Anyhow, I’m hoping to have a few more of these days this summer... I need a break!


John, I don't even want to talk about the camera... could have bought..... ok, not talking about it!


Minelson, Isn’t he handsome?? No, he is not as grumpy as he looks, he was actually standing there asking me if he could come through the gate. He has great manners!


Lori, I have to tell you, these LaManchas are really starting to grow on me! They are all doing really well. Hang in there! You guys are going to have a beautiful place when it is all done! Ohhh and imagine little 'Mancha kids running around. It will all be worth it!


I’m glad everyone enjoyed the pics! Ill have to post some more soon I suppose... to feed your hunger of course.


Justin

hi berrley
Well those goats live in alabama with Justin. Although most did live with me first. It was bad timing for me, so Justin has them but he is to give me babies back. They are gorgeous goats and they look so good being with Justin. I am figuring to fullfill his contract time limits some of the doelings from this year will be some I will get.
patiently waiting pictures of this years kidding season. I figured May was the time to expect babies. Haven't heard a thing yet but maybe Justin will see this and post us all some earless baby pictures:>)
