Chill in the air.....

I really think fall has set in.  As I write this it is cool and crisp outside, but the sun is shinning.  The frost caught me off guard.  Most all of the winter garden did well, but we did have some summer favorites that were still hanging in there with us that did not fare the frost.  The basil was lost, but the peppers just lost the leafs but the fruit was still good.  Not everything is dying.  Sometimes even in the cold new life is arriving.   

New baby French Black Coppers

We just had some new babies hatch.  We lost a few but the rest were hearty and made it.  The goat are feeling quite frisky.  We have decided not to breed the girls this season.  Taylor has had her allergy test and although we knew it  would be positive, she is allergic to her goats!!!  Next 4-H year I think we will switch to hogs, and the goats will go back to be with their original herd.

The blog has been a little slow due to the surgery I just had on my right wrist.  Boy it is hard to get anything done without your dominant hand.   Stay tuned.......
