Taylorsville & Harmony

This morning, we visited Four Legs Good Farms http://www.flgfarms.com/  to find Audrey climbing in the trees - so charming, what a great life for a human kid and her goat buddies. I suggest that her parents write a children's book.

 
Mike helped Indigo get ready for the Shelby Dairy Goat Show.

We've got two does, MariGold and Gold Medal, due during the show dates. We'll see, but Mike may take a few goats to the Show and I'll stay home and play doula.

We're always tickled to see Dahlia and Lulu, Tulip's daughters. These girls haven't been bred yet but they should have some awesome udders.





From Taylorsville, we headed to Harmony where http://www.lbstrailer.com/catalog/ is located. Previously, we had a fifth-wheel trailer and large diesel truck but traded them over a year ago, we (I) wanted to operate more efficiently, going more small scale.



We'll continue to shop around, but liked this RED one the best.

Garden Plowed & Disced











Hillbilly?
Redneck?
White Trash?
or
All of the Above?
We don't have a goat trailer and Mike thought it would be a good idea to put this truck topper on top of our utility trailer. I wouldn't haul the poor goats any distance in it, to the Vet's maybe but no further.

Nephew Garrick and Amber's two daughters like to visit the animals. I didn't spell Ellery's name correctly but can't remember the correct spelling at the moment.

Sneaky Wilcox

I was out and about in the barn looking for eggs this morning and I found BooneDocksWilcox Sneaky frolicking in the haylof. Sneaky sure looks healthy. I have to compete with my pair of Great Pyrenees, JackBadger and BarbaraJean, and Sneaky for eggs. I finally found 6. Sneaky lives between the barn ceiling and the hayloft floor. When he saw me and my camera, he slithered back to his pad, he's sorta shy.
