Jolly Ball, Trail Cameras, and the new Rain Gauge
My sons gave me a Jolly Ball for the goats as one of my birthday gifts. The Jolly Ball was originally designed for horses and this ball smells like bubble gum. Goat owners have said that the goats also enjoy this ball. We are headed to the farm to check on Peanut and to give Peanut her medication,…

Fresh Frozen at the Farm and the Deer are enjoying every minute!
The temperature dipped well into the teens and frozen precipitate was everywhere, but the goats did fine with the heating lamps in their barn. The geraniums did not fare as well.

BELOW: After several “mishaps” with poles on the ground, we decided a rack for fishing poles by the pond was in order. The poles will still be…
