A 36 hour day ?

The Almost Daily Diary is becoming a victim of priorities and before I start getting an avalanche of complaints ( well, Mom S, Mum J and Anne, at least 3 for sure !!!) I will apologize in advance. I’m sorry, your coffee will be diary-less more often at least until the twin set of little brown eating machines find something green and less work intensive to eat. Our work day down at the barn now starts at 7am… which is, incidentally before even the alarm clock in Daisy Mae’s 4 stomachs tells our demanding bovine that it’s time for breakfast and finishes around 9pm with yet another baby feeding session. Any mum ( mom) knows that a newborn is demanding and loud and adorable….Thumper and Peanut the new kids in the goat pen fit the profile perfectly, and somehow this unexpected and unscheduled addition to our workday has stretched into my Daily Diary hour. Reluctant momma goat Acorn might not have a maternal bone in her body but that lady has an udder that would feed the state of Washington and still have some to spare !!!  Milking Acorn and feeding the twins is not optional and try as we might….we can’t stretch our day into any more than 24 hours…I will get to the computer when I can…I will set my two typing ( only one at a time, I rest the other !) fingers to work and try to keep you up to date with the daily dramas here at the ranch. We (me) will keep taking photographs and we, ( Greg) will try to keep the photos coming to the web site.

Got to go, two squeaking mini moms will be waiting for a teat to be put in their ever open little mouths and a milky bar needs to be unloaded before it pops !

Take care, keep safe, M
