{late} Happy Mother's Day!

....to the human moms ;). Since we live on a ranch, why not include a few pictures of the animal mamas for mother's day, too?

A good sitter duck is so devoted. This one hatched out about 20 after the long approx. 36 days.

Happy Spring! (Pictures)

Yes, I see spring was officially like 6 weeks ago. But the flowers just started *really* springing up here. You see, without a word from me in about 2 weeks or so, blogging's been on the back burner. But it's not that hard to post a few pictures of the beautiful flowers and goats that have been springing up.

Kid Mania! Spring Kid Photos

Some photos of some of the kids - I like to take them out on a green field and shoot away. Yesterday was crazy - 3 ewes lambed to twins and 1 doe kidded to triplets, so 6 lambs and 3 kids! Oh, and 3 more lambs this morning, too (one of which was found dead).
