sunday at the farm
I know I haven’t been around here much lately. Things have been busy and hectic to say the least. Scott’s been away a lot for work leaving me busy with the kids. Then last week The Little Bush Princess had to spend three days in hospital with the effects of a virus. Scott was away for work and I had to rely on a truly wonderful, kind and generous friend to care for The Golden Child and be there for TLBP and I.
It was stressful, upsetting and hard for everyone…but it’s over now!
Another time consuming activity has also been completed. I’ve finished my contribution to the school concert…stitching up eighteen little dresses and pairs of pants. The last week has been smoother and apart from having to have four wisdom teeth out tomorrow….urgh….hopefully things will be back on a more even keel now.
Out on the farm things have been bubbling along whether we’re there or not. Our goat herd has increased again. Taking our numbers from the original eight adults to eight adults and four babies. We spent our day out there yesterday with friends. It was lovely.
My baby with our new twins, Titus and Lucky.
All of our goat babies together. May is quite a bit bigger than the others. She’s grown so quickly! She’s half the size of her mother already.
This little lady is our newest addition. Her name is June. She’s the softest creature in the world!
She’s blessed with the most attentive mother in our herd. Soft and gentle, kind and concerned.
Hopefully things will be back to being a bit more normal once my teeth are taken care of and I’ll get back to posting more regularly.
Great to hear from you! The farm looks and sounds dreamy! Those goats….
Hope you are all okay now - well, apart from those teeth - and that life settles back down!

I am so envious Jenny. I just adore little goats and it was so wonderful to see your little one giving them a cuddle. I love seeing all your pic’s of your “farm” life.

Jenny– I hope you’ve recovered from the teeth pulling and that everyone (goats included) are doing well!!! I never thought I’d say this but your goats are so cute!!!! You are actually making this whole dream of yours come to reality! I think we’ve come to the conclusion here, after our gardening this summer, that maybe we are not cut out for farm life after all and in our retirement years, we’ll just do little tiny gardens. I will just have to vicariously live through you!!
