It sure is Spring!

Things are going well here at Green Gambrels. Here are a few photos of what's been going on outside.

Mom and Dad planted our potatoes.


The kitties helped!
"Look out Ollie, or you'll get planted!"
A friend of ours gave us two more chickens...
This white one is actually a meat bird. He's getting pretty big! :-)
On one of our trips between New Hampshire and Maine we picked up some dog kennel style fencing, which we're using as a "chicken kennel".



 Dad planted grass in his orchard, and it is coming up nicely!
His trees are also growing well.

Now here are some photos from the inside....

The latest addition to our household is....
another cat!
You may get the idea from this photo that he's pretty small. :-) We don't know exactly how old he is right now, but he may be around 4-5 weeks. He's an orphaned kitten, and some friends of ours in NH were raising him but they didn't want to keep him, so we took him home with us.

He likes his milk....
 ...and his teddy bear...
 and, of course, all of our shoes. :-)

Here are some photos of the upstairs construction.
The bathroom is almost completely done. The plumbing was inspected and approved, and the only thing that remains now is for the trim and molding to be put up. The floor is down too, and it looks really nice!



So that's most of what is new around here. :-)

The Barnyard Bunch

The kids (goat kids) have grown a lot. Today is a rainy day, so the kids stayed in-doors (or rather, in-stall). I got some pictures of them anyway, and they were just as playful as ever!

Buckwheat, Ellie and Spring, all posing in a line (one of the triplets got out of the line, I guess!)
Daisy and Ruger, with Daisy showing some sisterly affection

Ellie, as independent as ever

Ellie and Spring

Buckwheat, climbing on the stall door (his eyes aren’t really that blue!)
Daisy, Remington, Ruger and Ellie

Clockwise, from left: Remington, Ruger, Daisy and Ellie (this photo was taken at a very strange angle, so tilting your head may not help!)

Spring (isn’t she cute!)

Buckwheat (doesn't he look chubby?)

Smile, Buckwheat!

Ruger and Ellie (probably lamenting the fact that there is no hay left in the hay feeder since they ate it all!)

Buckwheat, Remington (laying down), Daisy, Spring and Ellie. Buckwheat, Daisy and Ellie seem to be wondering “Where’d all the hay go?”

“Could you give us more hay please?”

Since there wasn’t any more hay, Buckwheat and Spring decided to plunder the grain feeder while Ellie stood on guard.

When the grain feeder was sufficiently empty, Ruger, Remington and Buckwheat curled up for a nap.

See you at feeding time, kids! And that’s it for now with the small goats…

The big goats are all doing well. Showgirl and Wales are doing well…

Touché is, too.

While Tatty, on the other hand, has a very different personality. She is a very friendly goat (most of the time). She also likes posing for pictures!

Smile!

She likes being close to people…

She also is very spunky and sometimes stubborn…

But she is very remorseful!

But only when she is caught, because she always gets put back inside the fence!

Meggy is a very good goat.

Tatty is too!

Then there’s Poquito, always willing to pose for a photo.


Well, that's all from Green Gambrels for now. Hope you enjoyed the pictures!
