There have been some changes happening in the goat yard. Pictured above is Bendi, the new addition to our family. We’ve been feeling it was time to simplify around here and find some loving homes for some of our goats. We struggled with this for awhile, as we love them all so much and didn’t want to part with any, but knew we needed to. So we got Bendi so we would still have two milking mamas, and that way we could find homes for Sally Sue and her babies Maple & Flossy. Much to our delight, we found a great home for Sally, Maple & Flossy, where they could all stay together and we are so grateful! It was very important to us that all three of them went to one home. We were sad to say goodbye to them, but having four goats now is much more peaceful and blissfully quiet. We are happy to move away from noisy Nubians to quiet, smaller goats that are a better fit for us here. We are saving a lot of money on hay & feed also. All around it just feels a lot better. Now our goat herd is two mamas- Bree and Bendi, and Bree’s two babies- Faun and Lucy. So with the fall season, things are quieting down and slowing down around here . Bree has established herself as the new queen of the herd and they are all getting used to each other. I’m enjoying their gentle presence, which is such a blessing in our life. Jeff & I are truly in love with goats (which is evident by all the pictures we take of them and how much we talk about them!) 🙂
In the house we’ve washed all the bedding, mopped the kitchen floors, rearranged rooms, organized, cleaned, gotten rid of things we no longer need….. whew! Fall is the perfect time to Simplify and it sure feels good!
