GOATS!

The goats arrived. They are about 10 weeks old. They are cute. Their ears are green in the video because they just had their ID tattoos done in their ears...it will fade. They were anxious the first day, but are already adjusting very well and feeling mighty exploratory.

In other news, the fox visited again. It tried to score a hen about 20 feet from me, as I was sitting in a car in the driveway. Chuck was actually inside the coop at the time, hammering. The whole place went into an uproar, and the fox escaped empty-mouthed. The hen is fine...Chuck found her hiding on the front steps of the farmhouse. The rooster is missing some feathers, but is also hopefully fine (we are not sure what happened- it was just out of view). We do not like this fox, and consider this latest attempt entirely too bold. But our statistics are definitely improving.

We went to a bluegrass pickin' party today...Winter loves music and had a grand old time.

Also, I gave the bees a jar of sugar water feed and they stung the @*&$ out of me.
