Stjarna and Her Goats

My Icelandic mare Stjarna, enjoying breakfast with 

her Goats.

April had to come see what I was doing.

Stjarna and the Goats ~

Stjarna prefers the female goats as buddies,

 over the boys.

Photos taken through the house windows.

Westmoreland Beach ~

Went to the Westmoreland park Potomic river beach  yesterday. 

Was not able to walk long but I did enjoy the time there. 

Nice to drive down a steep hill and loved the trees. 

Not used to how muddy the Rivers are here.

Need a better zoom lens, there were some interesting flowering bushes in the under-story.

Indian Fantails ~

As you know, when I was first having breathing issues, was recommended by one of the doctors, that I re home my birds. Not knowing what was going on, I did.

Fast forward to now,  with all the tests coming up Neg, I decided to have some Indian Fantails again.
All hens, and do not plan on raising them any more.

Love watching them in their outside flight cage.

The Silver hen's tail was cut by the breeder I bought 

them from, will grow back in time.

Peonies and Goats ~

Love looking out and seeing the beautiful peonies out of 

my kitchen window.

Decided to pick up the other doe and doeling, 

so that makes it 5 new pasture mowers.
Will save me a lot of work in the long run.
And I love watching them eat.

Blossom thinks she is a lap goat, 

blink once and there she is looking you in the eyes.
Good thing she is smaller than a cat.

April was born on April fools day. 

Part of the horse pasture.  

Love trees and being around them.

Peonys and the storm ~

Fairly bad storm last night, power outage for 14 hours , place is a bit of a mess but everyone is safe.

Woke up this morning to my Peonies totally flatted, some stems broken. 

What is wild, is a chair on the other side of the yard was not touched.

Managed to get most of the flowers back into their supports this morning.

Mother Days Lawn mowers~

 Meet the new horse pasture mowers.

Only planned on buying the wether for Syd, as he lost his brother awhile back. But they had this old girl and her doeling. So I ended up getting all 3 for mothers day.

Is almost funny, I have been looking for a buddy for Syd for a year and never found what I was looking for.

Needed Dehorned, withered and well enough handled they would be easy to deal with. Small so they can't knock me around.

Mother's day morning, these popped up.

Also need help with keeping the horse pasture grass and such down, just can't add more mowing to my list of chores.

De-wormed and debugged them when I got them home, so their coats will improve. 

Tiny goats will not be any more work and they are easy to care for.

They are super, super friendly, do not mind being picked up, just over all cute.

(If I had the money I would of bought the other Doe and her Doeling)

 Doeling is tiny, smaller than a cat and super friendly.
