Signs of Spring

I promised better pictures of our lovely Spring blossoms and trees. The best part is we do very little to encourage this. It all just happens to pop-up as it gets warmer. I'm recreating this post from over on Shoe Daydreams. Yes, I'm lazy like that.



This is our neighbor's house. They actually do work on their yard and it shows. Darn them!



Trees in our backyard.



Tulips

Wisteria blossoms up close.

More tulips.

And our Tulip!

Her prancing baby, Petal.

Happy Spring!

Snow Day Pics - The Animals

Just some random animal snow day pics

Jake came out, looked around, went back in. I think the chickens stayed in bed.



Tulip says "No to Snow"



This is Petal's first snow and she's all "What do I do with it???"



Stay warm!

Immortalized

I wanted to share another great pet portrait my friend Miss C did. You may remember the Napoleon painting she did. For this birthday, she did an amazing drawing of Tulip and Petal...



Here's the inspirationi image -

If you enlarge the drawing image you can see how she captured the cute details like how their hooves are hanging over the edge of the table and their ears and knee-socks.

If you are interested in getting painting or drawing, send her a message via my email or on her Twitter page - @Miss_C

Smells Like Awesome

What kind of pet parents are we?

Well, we are totally the over-indulgent kind!

We went out over the weekend and got our baby goat girls an awesome new climbing toy, aka a picnic table.



A goat's gotta climb, right?



I mean, how can you resist a baby face like this???



You can't!

Be jealous! I get to smooch on this cutie every morning!

You Can't Handle The Cute

Baby Petal climbing like a big girl.

New Arrivals!

Well, the pen is finally done, in spite of the off and on weather, and the girls are now in their new home. The stable looks great and I hope they love their new yard area.

Sadly today is a crummy rainy day so I'm sure they'll get used to their covered area, eat some grain and hay and keep warm!

Here are the first shots I took from inside while they were just getting used to their space. I love them already... they're so good. And Petal is still so tiny. She's just like a kitten! But she loves to frisk and gambol around and nibble on everything.

The stable space is pleny big enough for them. I hope the yard area will be too.

Love them!!!
