Growing.....

by two more. We purchased two more young pygmy goats this weekend, a buck and a doe. I felt bad that Oscar (Matilda's baby) was going to be alone as he needs to be weaned now. Once I got to the Reep's, with Dan and Gabby, they each picked one out so we came home with two. All the goats are being extremely loud. I guess you can't blame them. We've moved their pen to a new barn and put two unrelated goats in with them. The boys seem to be okay except Oscar who at some points wants his mama. Matilda keeps chasing Zoey (the new doe) around to assert her dominance. It's like a furry republic, or should I say dictatorship down there. I sure it will all resolve itself in a couple days, but what a lot of complaining.

Mom and Dad were here for the week. It's always great to see them. I think they are postponing their move here. I don't think they are ready for retirement. We went Saturday to look at mountain land at "preconstruction" prices. It was a beautiful area, but definitely not them. I looked around the woods, and had flashbacks of clearing the vicinity of snakes before Mom would step out the door in Clarks Summit. Well, they looked, said NO, and we left. It was fun being together though.

It's warming up. My flower beds are a disaster. Better get a move on.....
