On my last post, you met the newest faces on the farm, but I had to share with you these two faces...the kids bringing the goats home!
This is Tardis...he's definitely soaking in the scenery outside the window.
I have pictures of the other three goats on their journey home, but let's just say they're a bit, well, chaotic. Yes, I think that's a good word to describe it.
Yep,
4 goat kids
+ 2 kiddos in the back of an Expedition (traveling at a snail's pace)
Thanks Andrea! Right now, while loving those sweet faces and having fun, I'm mostly learning how to become a goat-wrangler to administer medication! -Mary
I had a good laugh - looking out the back window at the line of traffic behind you! I can only imagine what the people in the car behind you were thinking as Tardis was watching them.
a goat wrangler, chicken whisperer, bee maven, and farmers’ market baker renovating an 1864 farmhouse. I like simple things, old things, old ways. I'm the definition of "homebody" and you can always find me in an apron. Welcome to my world...stick around, I hope you'll find it's fun!
Things I love...
Sunday dinners
tire swings
the laughter of children
cross-country train rides
barn sales & auctions
old farmhouses
small towns
porch swings
country clotheslines
old-fashioned barbershops
John Deere 4020's
farmers' markets
living in the Heartland
twinkling fireflies
simple country pleasures
the comforts of home
Now Open!
fresh from my farmhouse kitchen...simple, homemade, cottage foods!
I cannot conceivably influence the world's destiny, but I can make my own life more worthwhile.
I can give some help to some people, that is not vital to all the world's problems, and yet I think if everyone did just that, we might see quite a different world in our time!"

It is love, and kindness, and helping each other, and just plain being good. "

"The ordinary arts we practice every day at home are of more importance to the soul than their simplicity might suggest."
"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do.
So throw off the bowlines.
Sail away from the safe harbor.
Catch the winds in your sails.
Explore. Dream. Discover."

"The real things haven't changed...
It is still best to be honest and truthful; to make the most of what we have; to be happy with simple pleasures; and have courage when things go wrong."

ReplyDeleteFunny...I never thought of that! The whole way home I was fretting because I was sure the drivers behind us were grumbling at how slow I was driving!
