Little Ginger was crying at the corner of the pasture fence closest to the boy goats. I was working in the greenhouse getting the beds ready to plant and also in anticipation a semi load of planting soil arriving next week. Taking a break I saw our little one year old bottle baby yearning to be over with the bucks. So we obliged. Now we wait! Will we be grandparents to goats? We’ll know in September. Ginger went back to the girl flock to show the other does her engagement ring and Dozer broke out the cigars and pranced around looking smug. Here we go again! We candle the turkey eggs on Sunday to see how they are doing and now we will be keeping a watch on a goat belly. 155 days seems like an eternity! Don’t they make the cutest couple?

Back On Track
The ground is relatively dry, the parts for the nine new beds are done and moved into the garden, so it’s time to get the man in here with his semi and dump me some planter’s mix. Thank goodness for tractors. All that lumber is durned heavy! This is the first day in a long time that I haven’t driven a single screw. I forgot what it was like to not be all scratched and bloody at the end of the day. There’s always tomorrow though! Zina and I put on all the other hail guards this past weekend and they look great. Just in time for spring thaw! Looks like we will be in the upper sixties for the next 10 days. Melt off shall commence.
The boys are loving the warmer weather too! Donkeys LOVE to play tug-o-war. Pretty spry for a couple of old farts!
