Winter Pature

26 Dec

I felt bad with everyone shut in the barnyard since the snow was melting.

Sunday, I took pity on them and decided to open the gate.  While I was trying to untie the panel I had put across the opening, I felt someone behind me.  Yep. Skittles was checking out what I was doing.

Image

Skittles was not happy I quit opening the panel in front of her so I could take a picture.

It only took her a hot minute to head through the gate.

Image

It did get everyone else’s attention.  Dee was the first to check it out.

Dee was the first one out

Maybeline seemed to be confused as to how to get out (she needed to go walk through the barn and come back down).

Image

Maybeline looking over the fence like she wanted it to disappear.

Ava and Dee stepped out for just a minute.  Skittles ate for a minute.

Kong and Greg have missed their friends.

But it was afternoon, and they were all waiting for me to feed them.  Spoiled.

The gang waiting for me to come feed them.

Anyhow, I was glad that they didn’t head out to pasture because if was just a couple of minutes before I heard shooting.  It was south of me, but I decided to close it up again for the rest of the day.

back out on pasture

It was the last day of deer season, so I did let them back out the next day.

A Holiday Shoot

25 Dec

Over the weekend, when we had nice weather, I decided we should do a holiday shoot.  I was all in, but the goats were more interested in eating.

Image

Pluto was having none of it.

Pretzel didn’t care about wearing the thing, but she was waiting to get in the door.

She’s so cute!

Popcorn didn’t care about wearing it either.

begging for food

I had a hard time getting him to even look at me instead of the door where the food comes from.

Image

Seriously.

Image

He’s so cute!

I even tried one more time after we ate, but this is about as good as I could do.

Image

Oh well.  I tried to be festive.  Merry Christmas to all who celebrate and a wonderful day to everyone else.

New Neighbors

24 Dec

When I looked at the window this morning, I saw our new neighbors.  Do you see her?

My nephew told me that he had let the neighbors cows onto the Back Forty, but I hadn’t seen them yet.

I like seeing cows back there, but I’m guessing Skittles is pretty annoyed about it.

Image

I’m guessing he left it open between the Back Forty and the neighbor’s pasture.

Although I haven’t seen her reaction to them yet.
