The girls have arrived.

Lansing Hollow Farm is very happy to welcome the latest arrivals. We haven't settled on the names but have some working ideas. Nora (taken from ignoramus-the skinny one is not to bright) and Sarah (Shirley MacLaine's character in two mules for sister Sarah, like the character this goat is very stubborn and hard headed). Oh well they are cute as you can see and I have only had to chase them down once so far.

When out driving I had noticed several farms that contain their goats with the white electric tape. The same stuff that holds my 900 pound yearling in his pasture. Well bright idea why not put the goats in there during the day and the colt out at night. Stupid goats walked right through the fence. I could hear the electricity shocking them as they did it, so back to my disaster of a garden they go. Glad I didn't have time to plant anything this year.

It is very warm here and humid. Kind of interfering with my plans to polyurethane the front porch. I will be dragging myself from bed early tomorrow to start that project. Other then that we are just waiting on our hay to arrive. I am so glad I do not have a hay field of my own. The thought of bucking hay bales in this heat and humidity makes me quite happy to fill out the check and hand it over after my hay has been neatly stacked and put away for me. I know, some farmer I am.

The horses are in for a rude awakening, I have started working them in the morning and expect to have the saddles on them in a week or two. Poor babies aren't sure what to make of it. The dogs are doing well, actually they basically sleep all day in the house. To hot to do anything.

Joey prefers the morning hours and starts to get a bit cranky towards afternoon as it heats up. He fusses and fights with himself about taking his afternoon nap until he finally just crashes. See above picture to see what I mean.

I better get a few chores done while my little prince is napping.
