Well, we are getting very close to kidding time here on the farm.
The ladies in waiting are huge, and should be ready to deliver in the next two weeks.
Then the real fun begins!

Dear Nabisco... Please Send Ritz
Tuesday's snow has stuck with us...
thanks to a blast of arctic air with frigid whistling winds.
Our construction workers were unable to finish the pavilion,
due to a layer of snow/ice on the roof
(which, I am sure you will be relieved to know, has nails holding it onto the beams!).
They were, however, able to deliver our new composting outhouse.
This little privy will make summer farm work so much easier...
not having to return to the farmhouse for potty breaks.
It still needs a ventilation pipe installed and a paint job
(and of course a little touch of decor to finish it off!)
I cannot tell you how excited this addition has made me!
Woooohoooo!!!! An outdoor potty!
While feeding yesterday, I decided to stop and visit the pregnant does.
Missy: "I'm really not in the mood for company today."
Missy: "Oh, you have Ritz? Well, do come in and sit a spell!"
Missy: "Mmmmmm, mmmmmm....I love Ritz!"
Me: "Slow down there, Missy.... one at a time!"
Myrtle: "Hey... wanna see a trick?"
"If I stick my tongue out really far, I can cover up Oakley!"
Me: "Myrtle you sure are tricky! Wanna Ritz?"
Myrtle: "Yum, yum Ritz...love those Ritz!"
Nettie B.: "Hey what about me?"
Me: "Don't worry... there's plenty to go around."
The ladies in waiting are huge, and should be ready to deliver in the next two weeks.
Then the real fun begins!
