Spring

Aaaah. The first day of spring. Between the bouts of rain and blustery wind we managed to get quite a bit of outside time yesterday. Miss M is such a happier girl if we get outdoors. We played in the grass, and sang Ring Around the Rosie (yes I know the song's origin, but Miss M still loves it). She sat in the wagon, and I pulled her around and around and around the yard, between the raised garden beds and up the hill and down the hill, and all around again. She loves her wagon she received last year for Christmas from Nana and Papa.

We're getting ready to get a couple of goats. They're for the blackberries and later for milk. I'm allergic to cow's milk, but I can handle goats milk just fine (something about the proteins). We're going to look at a pair of doelings tomorrow. I've been working on getting an area fenced for them. Since the goats we're looking at are just a few weeks old, I'm not planning on sending them up the hill quite yet. So I've fenced off an area of grass and made a temporary shelter for them. We'll see how it works out.
