Life and Peace

Farm Morning
Today is a lovely day, even though tomorrow is supposed to bring us fierce weather again.  Solly and Seuss' (the Sultan chicken pair) new mommy is home, and the eggs they laid her before she went on vacation are chirping!  They should hatch soon.  Solly and Seuss will be able to go home on Thursday.  We've taken in a pair of black otter mini-rex rabbits for a season, until their owner can come and get them.  They are beautiful, and the perfect rabbit for people who want a pet. Their fur is super silky.

In the world of goats, there are new babies to see.  Hildy's girls, Song and Seranade, are growing quickly.  They run swift as river water and leap and play with abandon.  Their new daddy has not yet been to see them.  He'd better hurry, or I won't want to let them go!  I love their mother.


And Fawn had her babies!  A lovely cou claire doeling and a light brown buckling, Snowflake and Raindeer.  They are tiny, perfect, and entertaining.
Snowflake.  She's mine!

Girls smell so good!

We lost Chelle, the hen turkey -- she got sick in the night and died suddenly.  Her sister, Houdini, is coming to keep Tommy company.  He will feel better. 

Morning roll call
This week a hen, some goats, and a puppy will come this way from Griffin's Ark, all destined for new homes. 

And it's time to go now and enjoy the beautiful day!  Hope yours is as special.
