Tulip's Babies
Tulip's babies are here. June 22nd we had just come in from planting corn in the garden when I noticed her lying down in a corner of the pasture. When I say down next to her I saw that she had indeed started labor. I yelled for John to bring towels and the OB kit. Shortly thereafter Rowdy popped out
.
He's a little white and red buckling, he kind of looks like a little paint pony. Not too long after that Tulip started pushing out another one, this time a little girl. Kiki (had to be a "K" name for Karol) looks a little like her mother, only she has three white boots and a white flash on each side. Both are heathy and staying with their mom for now. Good timing Tulip -- I got to be home for this birth!

Happy Fathers Day!
Tim and Andy took John out for breakfast on Fathers day to his favorite restaurant, PB Clarks. He was treated to a breakfast complete with eggs, sausage, biscuits, gravy, and of course grits. Later that afternoon Jill stopped by to pick up some hay, and then John and I took a ride to visit Tranquility Acres. This farm is where all of our little boys
came from, and we were interested in looking at their sire to possibly add to our herd. Sharon met us on the porch with a big hug and a "Welcome to Tranquility Acres!" She has an awesome setup and gave us a tour of the place. We visited the bucks and she ntroduced us to Yoel, who is a 4 year old buck. We were very interested in purchasing him. So, lo and behold, Yoel is now part of our herd. We now have 3 production bucks. Yoel, Our very first buck, Buddy (Apache Blue) and our youngest buck Rascal. All three are getting along very well in the pen. They are all very different. Yoel, a majestic chamoisee with black legs and face, Buddy, a stunning blue eyed tri-color, and Rascal, the black and white
Pajama Boy. We are really enjoying watching them in the buck pen in their new barn.

Farm Happenings
Last week I didn't get a cake for my birthday. I got the mixer I've wanted for YEARS!
Check this out! 9 Cups of Flour Power! Over the weekend I made a cream cheese pound cake, oatmeal cookies and I made a giant toll house cookie for Andy to take on his campout. I have been researching recipes online for healthy cookies and snacks. When I hit on the perfect Oatmeal Raisin cookie, I will post it for everyone to enjoy. For the time being it gets to sit on the counter so I can just look at it! How awesome is this mixer!
Pausing here for a moment. I have been trying to upload pictures for half an hour with no success.
Stand by....
None of my pictures are being uploaded so I will write the blog and add the pictures later. We had some new babies born last Monday. Pansy had two bucks. The first one born was a huge fella, white with black and brown spots. The second to be born was a little tiny chamoisee. Both are lively and cute.
Tim came over to see us this weekend, and Saturday he and I went out so he could get himself a suit. Darned if I didn't forget to get my camera out! Now I'll have to drive over there and get a picture of him in his new suit.
