Here I sit in the greatroom by the wood burning stove.  Wobbie, my sweet little dog, in the chair beside me curled up in my sweater.  It's cloudy, cold and sprinkles off and on. I heard there is a winter storm coming next weekend. 

 Most would think I've LOST MY EVER LOVIN MIND!!!! 

 I can't wait for baby goats.  Yes that means out in the weather, whatever that might be, to feed babies and milk mommy's.  That's feeding baby goat 4 times a day, everyday!!   I'm going to be in the barn two times a day anyway to milk the big girls. Whats another couple of runs to the barn!!  Keeps the old blood pumping and exercise for the winter. 

The thing is, I had on the calender that we should be having babies, (kids) TODAY or TOMORROW!!    I see NO signs of kidding today but goats are like "human" kids, they will do whatever it takes to make you look like a lair!!    Should I start a "kidding pool".  How would we do that, by date and time?  or just date?  The books say the goats usually kid the same time every year and for both of my girls it would be 7pm.  Thats when they kidded last year. If you have any ideas let me know.  When I checked the calender  we "could" have babies from today until the 31st of December.  I know this because we took the buck home.  If it's after that date, well we are living in the time of miracles!! 

I will keep you informed but at this point I would not be surprised if we are a week away.  Then the snow storm is coming!!  I bet they wait until then.
