Depletion and Abundance: Life on the New Home Front
A Nation of Farmers: Defeating the Food Crisis on American Soil
Independence Days: A Guide to Sustainable Food Storage and PreservationYou asked for baby goat pictures - we've got baby goat pictures!
(Calendula meets Rubeus the cat)
(Basil, one of Bast's two boys in her set of triplets)
(Goldenrod, the other buckling - not sure if you can really appreciate his gorgeous coloring!)
(Asher holding Calendula, Goldenrod and Basil's sister)
(Phil the housemate holds Marshmallow - or we assume it is Marshmallow, since she and her sister are pretty much identical)
(Simon and Isaiah were told they absolutely should not smile while holding Licorice, Marshmallow's twin).
(A visiting friend, Gideon, holds Meadowsweet, the first baby of the season).
(Licorice and Angus the cat encounter one another for the first time - neither is sure they like what they see.)
(Astrophysicists are, of course, innately adorable. Baby goats only make them more so.)
So, as I said, we got us some cute.

Ahhhhh! My heart is melting! I can't believe they seem smaller than the cats. I mean, intrisically I know this is possible, but STILL!

Oh, that brings back memories. My Dad raised goats, for milk, when I was a young. I fell in love with the kids. He begged me not to name them. He said if I named them he would not have the heart to sell them. So, of course I named them. I played with them all summer long. My Dad, being the softy he is couldn't sell them. Chip, Dale and Cindy (triplets)stayed with him for years.

Dying from all the cuteness!

I'm convinced there is nothing on earth - not kittens, not puppies, not chickies or duckies - as cute as baby goats. My friend Helen has an inordinate number of kids this year and the cuteness factor is so off the scale that it hurts to go visit. It's hardly believeable that my voice can go up that high when I see them. Squeeeee! Indeed!

Oh good grief, now I want goats.

You goat-pusher, you. My cruel husband keeps saying we can't get goats. Not even when I showed him the goat and cat picture, which he admitted was great.
Your boys are adorable. Your husband is handsome. Even your housemate is pretty cute. And then you add BABY GOATS.
