Well...

When we put Bill and Bob out in the goat lot this morning, I noticed that Sniffy was looking around for babies...and I thought, uh oh! smile emoticon

After breakfast, laundry, and a walk, we headed down to the barnyard to work on compost windrows. I asked Tripp on our way down to the barnyard if he wanted to see the new babies, he looked at me like I was crazy, "We don't have any new babies..."

Well, we had new babies! a brand new little baby girl (Brownie) and a baby boy (Blackie). Mom and babies are all doing well. I didn't have my camera, so no pix yet..
And in other news!
After we got them settled and did some work, we took the bicycle across the road to the field and, I've gotta' tell ya', Tripp is doing awesome on his bike!!!!

Sewing...
Have modified the Irish 8-piece cap pattern, added length to the panels. Will get that stitched together tomorrow or Monday.

Continue to work on cleaning out the barn and horse lot. Embarrassingly enough, the barn is not that large-this chest congestion and straw dust just don't mix...so I take a wagon load or two out every morning at the end of chores.

Our local trash service has had an injunction filed against it-by another trash service...that don't even offer pick-up in our area! So, we have to haul our garbage to the dump...which, shock of shocks, is owned by the county, but run by the suing trash company!

Working our way back into the routine of life...we sat in vain last night waiting for 4-h to start, and then realized that it was a 5th Monday, not a 1st or 3rd! haha! However, tonight we did have Cub Scouts. It was good to see the scouts again.

Second Irish 8-piece hat is completed!
