FINALLY, Spring!!!!

Thought it would NEVER come, but it always does . . . Spring is FINALLY here.  Whew!!

After a miserable winter and a very, very rough kidding season, I am so ready for Spring. 

We did have 3 goats that gave us 3 healthy baby goats.  BUT, I had one goat drown in the water trough.  This will always be a mystery to us.  The trough is only 24 inches deep and we found her sitting in the trough.  All she had to do was stand up!  I have NO clue how or why or what happened.  We think she might have gone into labor.  And then, the next day, another goat gave birth to 3 stillborn babies - double whammy!  That is when you want to throw in the towel and say "I QUIT!!!"  But, you don't.  You embrace the ones that you still have and you look forward to next year.

Besides, Spring is here and the birds are singing!!
