Maybe permanent?

Well, maybe, just maybe Betsy goat is here permanently! Her 'owners' haven't come over to get her. Well, other than the two small boys who came over the other night to bring her some vegies. Which didn't go so well since as soon as the donkeys realized 'treats' were being handed out, they all came running to the fence pushing the goats out of the way.
I did notice that Betsy is starting to look a little better. She has now gained a bit of weight and her coat seems to have a touch of shine to it.

My goats and Betsy are getting along great. Betsy has a ways to go to get as 'chunky' as the other goats, but if she does get to stay, well, before long she will be as roly poly as the rest. Although with her having horns I do worry about her getting caught in the fence or a gate. And possibly injuring one of the other goats.


The little frogs are more and more visible these days.




Pretty soon they will attach themselves to the side of the house.


Until next time...................

Sunny Day

This post is for the kind folks who visit my blog that are having to deal with winter weather aka a LOT of snow and freezing temps. Bonnie is still sitting on five eggs. Hmmm, wonder if and when they are going to hatch. I took a peek under her and there are four Bantam eggs and one big white one.
Thought you might like to see how big the first chicks that were hatched compared to the last two. Quite the difference!

Today it has been close to 70 degrees. Beautiful blue sky. Warm soft breeze.


Pearl just relaxing and enjoying the day.




Arnold snoozing with the warmth of the sun upon him. Cookie not wanting to do much of anything but stand around.
On a side note, this morning I had to drive to town and on the way back the traffic slowed to a crawl. What the heck. The speed limit is 45 and everyone including me were doing 30! Was there an accident up ahead? Did a car break down blocking traffic? Nope, neither of those. It was a truck way up ahead with no one in front of them, and that driver was doing 30, which caused the whole line of traffic to do 30. Um, at that moment the word hostage came to mind. Here it was, one driver was holding up a lot of traffic by going that slow and the rest of us didn't have a choice but to follow. Ugh!!!!
Back to today being a beautiful, warm sunny day. I hope the pics put a smile on your face for those of you dealing with snow and wanting Spring.
The video at the end is short, sorry.



















You can hear the frog next to the house, but can't see it.

Until next time..........................

Frogs!

There is no picture with this video. It is all sound. Turn up your speakers and you will hear frogs. Hundred and hundreds of frogs from the ponds across the road from here. You will also hear a Honker ( Canadian goose) every now and then. They are also at the ponds. I had to wait until it was dark because that is when the frogs really start croaking. And yes, in case you are wondering, there are quite a few frogs here. In fact, in about a month or so there will be hundreds of frogs in the driveway and on the house. No kidding! It really is amazing. The frogs are so loud that we can hear them from inside the house!

Until next time...............
