Ears or no ears....

We have more baby goats...but I will spare you the photo log of each one....but you've just got to see this one.... He is a La Mancha goat...check out the lack of ears...don't worry, he's not deformed...that's the way he is supposed to be. His Mom is a La Mancha goat....but I don't think the daddy is...The brother has regular ears.

I think I'll name them Vince and Eddie. Vince for the La Mancha...you know...Vincent Van Gogh (haha) and since Vince sounds so "Brooklyn" I thought Eddie would be a good match.

Flowers bloom

Here are a couple of the flowers in my one and only flower bed. Over the weekend, I noticed that things were starting to come alive...and today, when I was driving across the cattle guard, I noticed how much more they had opened up....and then I remembered why I had picked them out in the first place.

If you look closely at this one, you will see a tiny grasshopper on the flower...didn't notice this when I was taking the photos... yeah! Bonus!

Making a splash

Sunday, we stopped by the trout hatchery by the Norfork Dam.... George bought some fish food to lure some big trout in for a photo for my color group....While shooting those photos I got this cool splash photo.....Way cool.... click on the photo to enlarge it and see how cool it really is....

This link will take you to the Color Fun group ....take a look sometime...it's quite interesting....

I'm thinking that I would really like to make a splash myself...

Feelings transcend

OK, we all know I'm the "crazy goat lady" but....it seems that we all have similar feelings about our Mothers...

Mother's day is coming soon and in an early moment of honor, I am posting a goat photo. This photo is Minnie and her Mommy, Mable. Minnie is showing her mommy a little care and attention...it was such a sweet moment to see that I had to snap a photo to share.

huh......

I'm tired.

Whew...what a week

Well, it's been a crazy feeling week but it's been fun as well...
I was supposed to have jury duty this week but no trials are scheduled....I was supposed to go to Little Rock for a meeting but it was cancelled..... so my calendar looks all junky with all the scribbles......

Monday started with the birth of 2 new baby goats...Gloria had two little boys....and then there was an afternoon trip to Mountain Home for a Dr. visit...just a checkup...all is well...
Tuesday was an afternoon trip to Mountain Home for a Taste of Home Cooking School Show...truck trouble for George....difficult animals.....and it made for a long day.....but the cooking show was a lot of fun.
Today is just Wednesday and I'm tired...
Thursday is the Spring Carnival from 4-7 at Ozarka.....
Saturday and Sunday will be spent in Fayetteville visiting Ryan and Leah.....

I sure am glad I'm not taking classes right now. :-)
