My brother worked hard all day yesterday building a milk stand. It was great to have him pitch in with enthusiasm and support what we are doing here. He did a great job and should be proud of the stand! He says he’s just glad to do something with his hands that doesn’t involve a computer, but I still think we got the better end of the deal! In the evening, we had a picnic dinner by a fire on the hillside and I caught a cute video of the new baby Nubians nursing.

Hungry Goats
April 2, 2009 By 2 Comments
Since Naomi seems to be exhausted lately, I let her sleep in until 8:30 today. This was too late for the goats, who by 8am were gathered near the front porch, wailing (vocally) for their morning feeding. Our little goat friends are in for a rude awakening; very soon, with the fresh spring grasses popping [...]
My Kitchen Window

My kitchen window looks out on a bit of a logging mess still. But we get it cleaner every work season (summer/fall). This year, Jeff is determined to pull out most of the stumps and finally cut down all the spindly damaged trees, turning it into a beautiful pasture. I enjoy this time of year [...]

Naomi took this picture of Mikah, also in the waiting room of the orthodontist. Now this is Haniya in the waiting room of the dentist. She’s about to have a [...]
Haniya’s Photo Shoot
December 29, 2008 By 13 Comments
Yesterday Haniya asked for the camera to take outside when the kids visited and fed our 8 Nigerian Dwarf goats and Trouble, the steer. I tell ya, I do not need to take any more pictures. Haniya can have the job from here on out and she’ll do it well! She took care of cropping, [...]
We Have Shelter
November 10, 2008 By 2 Comments
Over the weekend, Jeff and the kids cleared out the middle bay of the barn for the animals to take shelter. The outer bays hold the tractor, box scraper, and hay. We really needed to do this. For the last few weeks of rain, the animals have been sheltering in the shop, or heaven-forbid, under [...]
Out to Pasture
November 8, 2008 By 1 Comment
Since the front pastures were weed-wacked by a friend, we’ve been enjoying the view more. Now we look out the windows to the joyful sight of happy animals munching and wandering looking for choice weeds. Prior to this, we couldn’t get the panoramic aspect because of the tall grasses obscuring the view. The goats and [...]
Trouble!

Meet Trouble. He’s just few months old. Our friends ran out of grass on their place, so he came here to get fat. Yes, that means he is going to be butchered. Our friends are going to share him with us. Usually, we take a long time to consider such moves. Not this time. His [...]
