A Sunny Winter Day

A Sunny Winter Day




 Today was a good day in animal land. The sun finally came out for the afternoon and I must say the farm pets enjoyed it thoroughly.  In this picture the mother goat is nearly asleep. The goats are so fair weather that they wont go out of the barn for water when the wind blows, let along when its snowing. The chickens love the goats for some reason and the goats dont seem to mind the chicken ladies too much either.


 The donkey boys like the sun to shine too! They were caught several times throughout the day laying down and just soaking it all in. That is, when the mother goat isnt chasing them and stomping her feet in their direction. Funniest thing I have ever seen as that darn goat is afraid of her own shadow but acts very tough when the donkeys are around. You should see a pygmy goat put the sneak on a pair of miniature donkeys. Its almost sad. It really seems to empower her, nutty goat.


 And here is Ollie and the mother goat hanging out in the snow. It seems humorous to me that they wont go out into the snow in the barnyard which they have access to all day but put them out in the orchard area and snow doesnt seem to bother them at all.
