Bodhi was our first baby goat born on our little farm. His parents are Luna and Zeke. So adorable. He went to Aunty Di and Dan and has fathered many kids now. Also, even though his parents are fainters, he has fathered the only fainter I am aware of from our herd. Little Boy Blue.

I needed a hug!

It’s been a week full of surprises! Christopher, my son has been farm sitting for me all while running his own Law Practice, so he has been busy!! On Monday evening as you all know, Daffodil graced us with triplets. 2 boys and a girl. Then Wednesday, our cameras were down all day due to a widespread internet outage and we knew that Willow was probably going to be real close to Daffy on due date. So Christopher went home early to check on them and sent me a text with a picture of our tiny Prim with a mini, wet mini Prim that said surprise surprise. I asked what that was and he said he came home to Prim who had just birthed twins! We had no idea she was even pregnant. Thank God he went home when he did. Just as he finish e getting an entire quick build stall out together and all set up and cozy for those 3, as you can see in the picture, Willow peeks around the corner. Oh boy! Another super fast stall with feeder, water, etc just in the nic of time for another set of triplets! 2 girls and a boy this time. Willow does not mess around. For those who know everything involved in the kidding process, you know what Christopher went through. This was also his first time!! He did amazing and the girls thankfully did amazing. I’m not going to lie. It’s probably best that I didn’t know about Prim before or I would have been stressing. She has been an amazing little mommy!

Good Morning, Everyone! Daffodil had triplets last night. 2 beautiful bucklings and a darling doeling. I’ll post their weights in the comments but the boys were big for triplets and the girl was a healthy size so hopefully no bottle supplements this time. Daffy and Christopher both did amazing jobs!! I had a great view from the live cam.
