Wow, what a beautiful weekend! With temps around 70 and a clear, blue sunshiny sky, how can you go wrong? This weekend, we added a new member to the family…no Jamie did not have another baby (shuddering at the thought!). We bought a little Nubian doeling, Leah, to add to our herd. She is just beautiful .
Daniel and I drove about 85 miles to pick her up. She rode all the way home on Daniel’s lap…without an accident! Daniel was thoroughly relieved! When we got her home, she cried a little (wouldn’t you if you were taken from your mother and put in a strange place?) but seemed to do fine after a couple hours. She still doesn’t seem to know how to react to the other wee fur balls yet…she is friendly, but I guess some trust will have to be built. She learned quickly to avoid Minnie, the self-proclaimed Queen of the Herd. Minnie tends to be a grouch with everyone. She doesn’t even like Katie, which I find almost impossible to believe…who could not love Katie? Yes, she can talk your ear off, but she is such a sweetie. She just could not bear for Leah to be so isolated from the other goats so she went into the pasture to play with her. Katie did take a stick to whop Minnie in the head if she came near her…Minnie is notorious for butting Katie anytime she is near. See, I told you she was a grump!

"Can you just take the picture and let me eat?"Later Sunday evening, I painted all but two of the sheets of tin roofing that we refurbished for the shed project. Once the shed is complete, which should not take too long, and barring interruptions from the garden, we can get to work on the new patio. I can’t wait to sit by the fire pit late one evening, sipping iced tea and listening to the crickets and peep frogs. Until next time, blessings…
