nnnaaaaa, nnnnaaaaaa

I hear that every time I go into the goat yard. It's enough to drive you nuts or take up drinking!
That's Meg in the middle. I have not named the other two babies yet. One of them is a boy and I think it is the one on the top, with his head towards us. The one on the bottom is a girl. I hope she will make it. She eats but she is not a strong sucker like her brother. I hold her and make her drink her part. I try and get a little bit extra in her. Good news! Juju lets the babies nurse! Well, I have seen the boy up to the milk bar sucking with his little tail wagging. I have not seen the little girl nurse yet. (Yes, they all have the same daddy)
The Farmers Market went well. Sold just as many bars as I did last time. I have now covered the cost of the space for the season. There were 17 vendors this time, as more vendors show more people will show. I got moved to a different spot and I really like it! I'm under a nice big oak tree. This way I have plenty of shade. It was a little cool this morning in the shade but come June/July I will be glad for it! I got a little sunburn on my arms too. (Oh, we had a very nice sunny day!)
I bought a big awning/tent thing as I though that I was going to be out in the open. I think that I will return it and get my money back. I bought one that said on the box "Opens in three easy steps" It then showed step one, two and three. It looked easy. I took it home and tried to set it up. They don't tell you on the outside of the box that Step One has mini step A,B,C,D,E,F before you get to Step Two, which also has many mini steps. I think that I might get a sun umbrella and use that. If it's going to be down pouring rain, maybe I just wont go for that day. I will play that one my ear.

  2. Your kids are adorable! Keep up the great work with them and I am glad to hear JuJu is allowing them to nurse. Do you think she will let Meg nurse?

  3. Your babies are adorable! I want to pet them! I just love those easy 1, 2, 3 kind of things. I agree, take it back! Under the tree should be pretty nice until the first spider or other bug hops down on you. Until then though, enjoy!
