Spring is Beautiful and Bittersweet

The renewal of life never ceases to amaze; much like the beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains is always awe-inspiring. New little ones fill our hearts with joy but they all cannot stay forever; and neither can spring. As we move towards summer, many of them find new homes and we are just glad to have know the pleasure of their company. We are also mindful to be thankful for the increase and appreciative of the abundance of life under our care. ________________________ Today we noticed that one of our Highland cows, Merry Kate, is in labor so we fully expect an overnight delivery. Lil' Hot Shot is not far behind as her udder is filling steadily. These two lovely ladies (doeling kid from this year and a bred yearling) left Sunday for their new home in Marion. We will be down to 10 goats from 18 soon but Hot Cocoa (solid black with oatmeal cashmere) is due to kid in a few months.
