Farm life is exciting - but hard.
Wednesday night we were out for a couple of hours. When we returned, our goats had jumped the fence into our neighbors yard... it's a 6-foot fence!
When we went to retrieve the goats, they had escaped the neighbors yard as well, and were gone. We haven't been able to find them - we no longer have goats.
Thursday Josh was able to get the garden planted. :) There is still room to plant more, and we'll probably add to the garden in the next few weeks.
Saturday was raining on and off all day. Peter has been sick, and Saturday he took a turn for the worse. He wouldn't get up at all. We knew when we went to bed that he probably wouldn't make it through the night... Sunday morning when we got up, he was gone. This was the last picture I had taken of him - he'd been sick for a few days, and stayed curled up against the fence for most of the last week of his life.
Samson has grown tremendously. He loves to eat; he actually stands at the back door and moos when he's hungry, because he knows we come out of that door with the bottle for him. :)
He gets so excited to eat his back legs shake! He will come when called - if Josh steps outside and whistles, Samson will trot over to him.
Samson needs a new friend now; he looks pretty lonely in the backyard by himself. Josh wants to get him a puppy, but my heart is hurting right now. We'll get Samson a friend soon, but I need a few more days.
