a funny thing happened on the way home from the goaties

oye,
Ok first off let me tell you I had a fantastic time, Went out to Lilac Corners, was mobbed by my beloved goaties and sheepies...... Kissed by princess the horse.....

(WHAT you have never been KISSED by a horse? what kind of deprived childhood do you HAVE? everyone needs to be kissed by a horse, and tasted by goats and sheepies)

I didn't help much with the barn chores but I did take a ton of pictures and got the entire herd OUT of the barn so that Carole could refresh their bedding. ( the barn just got cleaned, and it is a mess again, cause they can't get out on pasture yet, they will colic, it is too much for them so they have to be slowly conditioned to it)
I have to post these pictures over a couple of days guys, as really I did take so many, it would blow up the photobucket and the blogger server, WAIT to you see some of these pictures.

I dropped Kris' lamb pen and creep panel off by her farm, and borrowed a sheep book and Folk Shawls. Kris' farm is centered on a 200+ year old stone house, it is got 24 inch thick walls and I sort of envy her. ( ok so I drool EVERY single time I go past that house, I adore it)
We spent some time talking and hugging lambsies.
I of course took pictures.....
( this is Kris and Ike)
and as soon as norton antivirus finishes it's scan I will be downloading them AND posting them of course so you all can see.
this is all the lambsies.
She has two up for sale to a fiber only home, btw, in case anyone is interested. they will be wethered as they are boys, and she wants 150 each. Not bad for I think a 5/8 BFL.

I continued on my merry way over the river and through the woods to Carole's Lilac Corner farm.......( you know, WHERE THE goaties live)

I made good time.

I made mental notes where the new spring babies were at the farms along the way.

I got to Lilac Corners and of COURSE my beloved princess was out in the feedlot waiting for me
hahaha
you gotta love a horse that see you coming and runs over to greet you.


Stranger the cat came running out,
a couple of the goaties....

( shhhhhh but I do have my favorites, don't tell the herd, they ALL think they are my favorites, noses get kissed all around)

I unpacked, and ran out to the barn. I got pictures of the newest little darlinks....
the little white headed black doe has me concerned, Carole too as she started to bottle feed her.


I picked up a handy saanen kid
( they ARE just laying around all over the place you know) and had a cuddle and a kiss, and just breathed in goatie........

also I have a really special treat, we went out to Monica's farm to see her alpacas, angora goats and her Arabian horses. There was a new filly there to greet us!!!
hahahaha
here is her momma

hahahahaha
ok and just for AMIE, here is a tease for the next batch of pictures....


Ok now I am going to drink my coffee
and start my day, I have all these pictures to process to show you all
til next time
vi
who is got to also post the last of the MDSW pictures as well

OHOHOHO
one more picture, This is Austin, the worlds oldest living meat goat, ( he is about 10 or so maybe older) We have decided Austin is the meat goat for vegitarians, as he will live long and die a natural death, then be buried under a tree in the 'north 40'
( I promised him I would post his picture)

OH ditzy vi .....
the funny thing...... well I ran out of time and space here I will post it tomorrow

hahahaha
