So much has been happening here lately. Such is spring.
Darla had 2 kids (males) 3 days ago. I sat with her for 7 hours waiting on these kids. I think she held off because she wanted me to spend the day with her. They were worth the wait. They're so cute and have hilarious ears. Darla is 1/2 Nigerian Dwarf and her ears stick out. Cato (the dad) is full nubian and has long pendulous ears. Lenny and Miles have a combination. This first one is Lenny. The second, Miles.
Lenny was bouncing before his mom even passed the afterbirth. It's like he couldn't wait to be out of there.
All the kids are rambunctious. Mrs. Butterworth's daughter, Macy, is especially busy climbing on things. She loves sleeping on her mom and grandmom, Pessa.
She also loves dancing on Windsor, who seems to like the attention. Papa does too but I don't have a video of him with kids hopping on him.
Windsor sometimes hangs out in the small trailer which was built for chickens but then converted to goats. I guess I should have considered cows going in there too. The goat kids don't seem to mind sharing space. He hasn't destroyed it yet.
Jaz and Willo are happy for any attention they can get, even if it's just kids nibbling on their tails or underbellies.
There's another shelter and lots more field to roam but they all want to hang out together. I'm sure the pigs would be right here too if they could.
The grass is growing like crazy, which I should be happy about, but it means more work and I have less time to sit around watching the animals interact.
Black Olive moved to West Virginia today. She was such a good sport as we figured out how to load her into the back of a pickup. Like Roxie and Kevin, she walked where we led her and made it easy for us. I hope she makes nice babies for her new owners.

awesome! Spring is here and life is popping everywhere! I'm up the road and would love to find time for a visit. Meanwhile, enjoy. I love the grass in the field not being so long so you can see the boat and all the animals. Won't last however.
