Good weather for ducks.

It rained. Most of the day yesterday, it rained. Thundered and lighteninged as well. It was a long day and chores were pretty miserable. But it flooded the yard which made the ducks very very happy.







They have been acting like they won the duck lottery. They were fighting over small frogs and crawdads this morning.

So... I had to move the two kids that I am selling... because Brego has allowed them to eat most of his forelock off. It used to be as long as his mane. He leans his head against the front of the stall and just lets them munch away. *facepalm*




And... new picture of Tigerlily. I'm still trying to get a good picture her that shows how nice of a topline she has. She is super flat and level, but every time I try to get a picture she either dips her head and looks low in the chine or steps funny and looks steep in the hip. Stinker.



Nutmeg is giving me the stink eye!!!

The little things.

It's been a wild ride. I feel like every blog post starts with an apology for not updating more often. :-)

I am a grandma. Demetri Isaac was born on April 20th. The ducks look all grown up already. I have three goats in milk and my last kid from Parsley on the ground. She is lovely and elf earred but too friendly to  get a decent picture, hehe. I've had multiple job interviews, but no offers. Signed up to volunteer at a nearby senior care facility (which reminds me, I need to call about my background check, finger printing, and TB test. They were going to call Monday about getting those done and I haven't heard anything yet.) I have sold three goats (Nightshade the fainting buck and his twins from my Togg) and will be replacing the buck with a lovely boer cross buck.

So... Pictures. :-)

Brand new baby, only an hour or so old, with his daddy... my son-in-law, Josh. 



He looks suspicious in this one.



Buckthorn, future herd sire. His daddy is an absolute tank of a Boer buck, mom is a kiko/Nubian cross.





Tigerlily, Toggenberg/LaMancha cross doeling born 4/17





The twins and Nightshade go to their new home as soon as we can coordinate pick up.





Duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, DUCK (no goose).



They have a makeshift pond in the front yard.
