Yep, we have baby goats. Rose had 3 kids last Friday, as usual with no problems. She is a remarkable goat, such an attentive mother and all around a joy to watch. Funny, as when we first got her she was routinely referred to as the little PITA, since she was always escaping her pen and wandering around wherever and whenever she liked. In fact her name, Ramblin’ Rose came from the fact she would regularly Ramble all over the barn, freely and without remorse. Here is one of those posts from years ago: Ramblin’ Rose.

Here she is with her 3 kiddos, 2 boys on the right and the female on the left. They are absolutely adorable!

And below are the three little stinkers, just a few minutes old. Boy, Girl, Boy.

We also finished pruning all the fruit trees in record time this year. 3 days of working over two weekends and all the trees were pruned and the mess cleaned up. I had good help, and I think this is the first time, ever, that we got them all done before February.

That’s all for now. I think we will get some pictures of the orchard this weekend because they have certainly come a long way from when we first moved in almost 8 years ago.

Until next time,

Michael and Karen
