Running the Twine Finder



tilling2009 (27k image)

This past weekend the weather was pretty dry, so I checked the soil and it seemed to OK run the Twine Finder... what's that, you say? Never heard of a twine finder? Can't find it in the Rankin catalog? Most farms have one, though it's often known by another name.

Baby Goats!



IMG_3410 (44k image)

Well, Astraya finally gave birth to her baby goats, a male and a doe. They were born last Thursday night; as it happened I was scheduled to visit on Friday, so I got to see them within 24 hours of birth. They're cute little critters! The doe was up and walking around immediately, while the male was a little slower at figuring out the legs. They're tiny, as you can see; at the time these pictures were taken they were not even really nursing yet.

Saving the Barn, Part Two



IMG_3099 (40k image)

Looking through the archives, it's hard to believe that this is only part two of saving the barn; it feels like I've been saving the barn for years! But, no, this is only the second post on that topic. I had intended for the next posting to be about a humorous little incident that was barn-related, but sadly, I seem to have lost the photos that go with it; my computer ate my photos.
