Spring has sprung, and what a beautiful time of year! We have been busy spring cleaning, stocking hay, and getting ready for BABIES!! Trixie is about one week away from kidding, and we couldn't be more excited! She is slowing down rapidly, and spends most of her day lying down in the pasture. She has a nice little udder forming, and we are so excited for the big day!!
Poor little momma!
I SEE AN UDDER!!
I shaved the does a couple of days ago to give them some relief from the unseasonal heat. It's AMAZING how their hair grows through the winter!! I tried to shave the boys down too, but they have SOOOO much undercoat from the winter that I couldn't get through it! It's going to take alot of brushing to be able to get the clippers through that!!

Crunchy lounging on the bench.
At the ponds, we have noticed many many turtles, and also there is a family of muskrats hanging around. It is awesome to walk along the ponds and scare the frogs into the water. We have seen a couple of big bullfrogs and LOTS of babies! We are anxious to find the eggs along the edges. Gotta grow our population!
Speaking of growing populations, we FINALLY found our FIRST guinea egg yesterday. Hopefully they will continue to lay and build a nice nest!

Brandon pointing to the guinea egg. It's very small and hard to see.
