Another Blizzard is banging on at the farm. The drifts are mounting and I again find myself slogging through thigh high white stuff every two hours. We do have a bright spot - Wilhelmina is doing great - Wynonna still is flighty but the new plan is taking hold. Wynonna is licking the wee one's butt while she nurses - THAT IS REALLY BIG... This means she is understanding to connect. Wilhelmina is also jumping on the chair and hopping around which means she is getting energy from nursing and that she has some to spare. She is also finding ways to get into trouble which is really important in the goat world. It means they are thinking, plotting and having fun - Which is REALLY Important....
In between the in and out I did manage to make 16 new fiber batts but with all the snow and the light bouncing around the pictures did not meet the cut so today I might try again. I did spin four new yarns and the picture session will wait a bit.
As the two hour checks in the night are long, cold and putting this gal not in the best of moods I was thrilled to pieces that all made it through the howling winds, bone chilling cold and thigh high snow with not too much trouble. I must say that I was not the only one who is not on the sunny side of the personality scale today - Oh Well, Another Day and another snow storm predicted... Put on the kettle is going to be a LONG Day....

I'm beginning to think the idea for the Energizer bunny came from watching you! You just keep going cause you have to, no matter the conditions. I do hope Mother (Nature) goes easier on you for a bit. *hugs*
Glad you got the kettle on. Well no matter what the calendar says Winter is having a hard time giving the reins over to spring at our farm too! Hope your little goat bakes stays warm. My dogs had me crocheting sweater for them last week ... yes of course its this weeks blog post, it should be me gardening but there no sign of that yet!
Good grief nothing like proof reading too late. Meant to say hope your little goat "babies" stay warm, must have baking on my mind.
