From Town to Country: A Wife's Tale

• Monday, March 31, 2008 - More snow but no kids!

Posted in Animals

Sure enough, we got the snow storm they were predicting.  All the area schools closed.  I think Madison was in school less than an hour.

Of course, it appeared 2 goats were in labor this am.  So not only is Jackie penned so is Hillary.  I thought for sure we'd have new kids by this evening but not yet.  We spent all day checking on the girls and I'm guessing the Hillary will have her babies tonight or tomorrow but I'm no goat expect so I maybe wrong.  As for Jackie, I don't know.  She just looks at me like I'm nuts and stuck her in the pen for nothing.  Rich is manning the "maternity ward" tonight as I have appts in the a.m. with Chas.

Well, I'm off to bed.  Good Night!

Boy, do I understand. We have had 3 goats give birth over the past month and are still waiting for the last one to pop! God Bless. mj

About Me

We've been working on the family farm for 3 years trying to get it back to a working farm. The farm was neglected for 15+ years before we took it on. The summer of 2008 is our family's first experience living in the country, so began our journey from town to country...
