Well Butterfly finally came forth. She is just a year and a couple weeks, and had twins. Boy and girl. I was wondering how she would do at mothering, so young, but no worries. Licked them clean, talked to them, nudged them back to feed. Just wonderful I figure.
So the little boy, black and white, going to be named Kentucky, born on Kentucky derby day. And the girl, looks white in the pics, but will turn out to be a little bit buckskin as she grows. Named her Sunny. Always liked that Ron Hynes song Sonny's Dream, and seems to fit her, but with a u.
The old goat in the pic is me, Kentucky is getting cuddled a little. Heart medicine.
Got hens setting. garden is a work in progress, wife made rhubarb pie today. Life is good.
