Too Pooped To Blog

I've been too pooped to do any "personal farm" blogging the past couple of weeks so all of you have been reading my generic "what might be of interest to you" information. I've got 9 Nubian bottle baby kids who are eating 3 times per day, 4 are on a bucket with the other 5 still on a bottle. I also have 5 more who will be taken away from their mom in a few days and they will also be put on a bottle 4 times per day. Nubian kids are the cutest things with those big brown eyes and long floppy ears. But beware, they have the sharpest baby teeth and will suck on anything that gets near their mouths, including fingers, hands, clothes and sweatshirt strings. They are like man eating fish and will eat you alive! Today we put in a new sidewalk in front of our rent house on the farm. It is made of big, flat rocks and stays in character with the cottage. We will hopefully finish it up tomorrow and install the large rock that we have for the front step. We also hung a white swing on the porch too! I delivered a Dutch rabbit and her babies to Giulia Smith of Fantasy Photography in downtown Germanton. Giulia is making photographs starting Friday of children in their Easter finery with rabbits. She'll be busy Friday thru Sunday with her sessions. She can be reached at 336.575.7088. Three more Nigerians are left to kid. Should happen any day now. One is sitting up like a dog. She is so fat that she sits so she can shift her kids back to breathe better and another's udder is huge and shiney. At least now, the weather is nice so the cold doesn't play a factor in birthing like it did earlier this year. Spring will be here tomorrow! Grass is already greening, flowers blooming and things looking up from such a long, cold winter.
