Pumpkin Decoration

This morning Grandpa brought over a bail of hay and went and got some square bails as well. We took our pumpkins down and set up a little decorations for the Fall season. And of course the cats were with us.....except for "Coffee", he must have been sleeping.

It is very cold here all of a sudden! We are loving that!

Llamas

Driving Again?

Well, no. Not all the time anyway. David did drive on Friday. You never know, maybe he will get to drive this season. A great picture though. Enjoy!

Pumpkin Patch

We went to the pumpkin patch on Friday and had a blast! The girls loved it and the weather was perfect.

Summer is gone!

Well, that was fast. Last time I posted was Spring and now Summer is gone. Amazing! It goes by so fast. Since my last post Sunni turned 9, Lillie turned 7 and Molly just turned 5. I can't believe how much older the girls are getting. We also received 3 kittens which are now CATS. (Milo, Coffee and Tom) There is nothing small about them. They are great mousers and we love them so much. If they could stay out of the highway we would be very excited. So far so good! We also managed to secure a miniature horse. His name is "Mr. D". I believe his papers say "Denali". So.....Mr. D it is! He is great and I will try to post a picture of him here soon. All the baby goats are big and will be momma goats next spring. We also had a baby llama over the summer. Exactly one year after she had the other baby last year. So, the llamas are Prissy (momma), Penny (1 yr) and Patty (4 mths.) They are really good and we can pet them all now. They use to not like us very much but I guess they have figured out they we are here to stay.

The girls are doing great! They are Kindergarten, 2nd and 4th grade this year. We are currently in a book club for the girls. We are reading Little House On The Prairie books this time. The girls love it. Last week they got together with friends and made butter, learned to cross stitch, and drank goats milk. (mmmmmm....good) Friday we went to the pumpkin patch. I will have to post pictures of that. The girls had so much fun. We went through a very large corn maze and had a blast!

There is so much going on so I will try to keep up. The girls want to start helping me with the blog so I am going to let them help as well.

Below are pictures from Molly's Cowgirl Party! Enjoy!

Another Sign Of Spring

I mowed my grandmothers back yard yesterday with a push mower just to clean it up before it rained last night. Well, I came up on a water moccasin. A pretty good sized poisonous snake. So, I will be watching the ground a little closer and keeping an eye out when the kids play outside. They play all over the area that I found him in. In fact, they had been running around in the yard just before I sent them in so that I could mow. Crazy! That is life on the farm I guess.

Spring Is Here

Well, I have not done this in some time. We have had more computer trouble since Christmas than I care to deal with. Maybe....just maybe....we are past some of that. Of course, that goes with living in rural Arkansas. (I guess.)

Here is what is going on now and I will update the past few months as I can. Four of our five female goats had 6 kids within a 24 hour period. It is crazy down there in the barn. We went from an infirmary several months ago to a maternity ward today. So far, all the goats are doing well. One mom is rejecting her little one but we are working on that. We shall see.

These pictured below are the first two....I will update with the others very soon.
