Just a little update....

I am getting impatient waiting on Pearl to have these babies or baby but I am just sure she has to have twins. I sold Baba's last baby this weekend so now she is giving nearly a gallon a day in milk. So far I have only been making soap but I think I am going to have start some other things to use up this milk. So far I have been freezing it and that works out pretty good.

Gertie is now 8 weeks old and she is such a sweet girl. She is still on her bottle but now stays out to pasture and is eating and sleeping all day. I am so proud that she has not even tried to get out of the fence and stays right with Maybell. I thought Maybell was still just a baby until you see Gertie next to her.

I have been walking her to get her used to the halter and lead so that YEARS down the road I can handle her to milk her. She does so good, as good as my poodles do. For some reason, Rosie (donkey) wants to bite her, not hard it is like a nibble but I am not sure why. She has grew up with cows and goats and I have never seen her bite, ever!

Well school is back in and so far Alston has done great and really seems to like it. He plans to try out for Golf and Basketball so say a prayer for him to stay focused and make those good grades!
