Arrival of "Storm"

Whew...a night of howling wind and torrents of rain was followed by a beautiful morning. While getting in the truck to take the boys to preschool, I noticed that our bottle-fed goat from 2 years ago (born July 4th) was showing signs of impending labor. Finally about noon, at 50 degrees, she was actively pushing and at 12:15 a doeling was born. She is white with gray accents and is fairly robust and lively. She was standing and nursing by 1. Will be a chilly and windy night so have to go get them this afternoon and take them to the 4x8 tarped kennel for shelter.
