Oh these lovely days just keep coming...

 Today we noticed a robin flying to a nest under the eave of the roof of the barn. It was too high up to see into, but on tiptoe with the camera held high, I got the shot. The babies thought we might be bringing them worms too so they opened up wide for the camera.

Now 4 days old, the new Bitty Buckling met the children today. They pet him and he did some little jumps and kicks for them.  Also, this evening we opened up Mama Lina and Bittiest's private stall so they could mix with the other goats. It was really sweet to see them all together.  We are so pleased to have a peaceful and healthy herd.
