We woke up quite early this morning to the rolling thunder and lightening (I'm scared of it and so is Lili)! I don't mind the rain, but the thunder can end anytime now :)

Jr. & Jetti went to their new home Friday night :( At least they don't live too far away, so I can visit anytime! Last night was our second night milking Peachy, Jr. & Jetti's mom. We got 2 pints from her last night! I'm so excited to learn how to make goat's milk soap, cheese and ice cream!

We're trying to keep the critters cool on this Memorial Day weekend! We went to the swap at TSC in Augusta on Saturday and sold 26 chicks! Jamison bought pheasents and I bought a lionhead doe and a pair of dwarf hampsters, lol. They are so cute, I couldn't resist :) I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend and remembering the real reason for Memorial Day ;)

Meet Hope :)

My pal Tammy brought by her little 1lb 9oz Nigerian Dwarf doe, who I call Hope, by today for a visit. She's SO tiny and SO sweet! I have "hope" that she'll pull through <3

It's a warm day on Little Bit Farm. I'm trying to keep the critters cool and comfortable. The baby goats are getting very big. They'll be 7 & 8 wks old this weekend. I love watching them frolic and play, but it's almost time for them to go to their new homes :( Jetti & Jr. will be going to The Fitch Family Farm in Chesterville. Pablo & Picasso will stay here for a while. I'm keeping Picasso as one of my bucks and am still looking for a home for Pablo.

I'm looking forward to a long Memorial Day weekend to relax and enjoy my family and critters <3

Everyone made it through the thunderstorm/light show we had last night. I woke up very scared in the night from the thunder and then stayed awake for a while worrying about all of my critters, with the thunder, lightening, wind and rain. What a storm!

I picked up the baby turkeys from the post office this morning. Maggie, I assure you this is the last post office run this year, at least it better be. It's funny how a lot of these birds are my loving husband's, yet I get stuck picking them up from the post office, feeding them and cleaning out their stinky ol' pens! He's lucky I love him and that I love animals or he'd be doing all of the dirty work himself ;)

I'm picking up my new vehicle today!!! I'm hoping it will keep me from bringing home so many critters! I'm trading my truck in for an suv. I want it to stay clean for a while, so I don't plan on bringing any of them in it...we'll see how long that lasts ;) Enjoy the sunshine all...it's nice to finally see it again!

Happy Mother's Day!

I'm a proud mom of a 19 month old, energetic little girl and many other "kids" :)

Speaking of kids...apparently my goats (does) got into the buck pen 2 times and Jamison just told me today (the 2nd time). I'm keeping my fingers crossed none of them got bred and if they did...let's hope it was to the buck I wanted them bred to in the fall anyway.

Oh, I forgot to mention that I also brought home a 9 month old, polled, toggenburg/pygmy cross buck last night. The goal is to breed him to Alva and get baby goats w/out horns! I can't wait! I'll take pictures as soon as the rain lets up and post them :)
