Dear Reader, today I can see the icicles forming and growing off the roof from my window. On the ground snow still lingers, although it is probably all ice by now. The sky is blue, but it remains cold out, and the sun doesnt seem to effect the snow, as it is still nearly 3 inches deep. All seems peaceful outside, as the snow has covered everything like a blanket. All of this weather promises a white christmas, which is what I have been praying for.

I know I dont have much to say, but today, I think I would like to hear from you who read my blog. I want you to post comments about your favorite christmas memory, your best christmas, your first white christmas, and funny things that happened one christmas day or even your favorite christmas carrol! Anything you want to say. I dont care if what you say is one line, or takes up an entire page. I would like to learn more about other christmas's, and I will read each of them, should you want to write.

Merry Christmas Dear Reader, and remember, there is no such thing as an ordinary day.

Oh, and if you happen to think about it, and have a sense of humor about burgerking, listen to ding fries are done on my playlist at the bottom of the page. Just click on it and it should play

Dear Reader, tis the season to be snowing, and snow, it did!

As you may know, we have been babysitting my neice, Shea, and as you may have read in the last entry, our house was torn apart from top to bottom. Well if that all wasnt enough, my brother came to visit! He wanted to take us all to a movie, as one big Christmas present, but the weather reports were saying it would be snowing, and we thought the roads would be too dangerous, even if we did have chains, we didnt want to risk it. So we stayed home while ( brother) Matt, and dad went out to rent a movie. They both came home and we watched Get Smart, and had a wonderful evening.

Shea was fussing until late last night, and that meant someone would have to stay up with her, and I am quite tired this morning! I stayed up with her until about 12:30, and she finally went to sleep. Seeing how late it was, I decided it was time to go to bed. When I reached my room, I remembered the events of the day had made my bedroom a storage place for all the spare furnature, clothes, and toys, it was so bad in fact, that I couldnt even close my door! So back to the livingroom I went where Shea was sleeping, and mind you Mary-Ann didnt have her bed set up, so she had taken up residency on the couch. So I got dads recliner, which is the most uncomfortable chair in the house that you can sleep on. I fell asleep to Shea's soft cooing, the light from the christmas tree, and watching the snow fall by the light of the lamp post in our driveway.

This morning I awoke to Mary-Ann coming into the livingroom chattering about how she had no idea that she had slept out in the livingroom all night, and I was just thinking, please just let me sleep. But God has a sense of humor, she brought out the computer! So I went into my room and tried to go back to sleep, about an hour later, mom comes in with Shea who is fussing and just wants to cuddle, and not with me! So battling with her about a binkie for about a half and hour, I decided that there was no way I would be able to go back to sleep this time. So I got up, changed Shea, and gave her a bottle, you know, all the baby stuff.

I went out and fed the animals, and now am back in the house where its warm. Shea is now sleeping, the snow is gently falling, and it has come up to nearly 3 to 4 inches in some spots. The coffee cake is just out of the oven, and I should get some before it disappears!

There is no such thing as an ordinary day, I prove it every day!

The look of pride seen on a grandmother's face when her first grand-daughter says something as simple as "Oh".  My mom is sitting at the kitchen table with my niece, cradeling and making cooing noises to the little one.  My niece now a month and a half old, is facinated with mimicking all the little noises she can, and grandma ( mom), is eating it all up. Behind the little baby and her doting grandmother, can be seen a nearly picture perfect backdrop of tall pines, redwoods, and douglas furs, and seen through the trees, the purple beauty of twilight.

Dear reader, I hope I have painted a picture well enough for you to see the quiet scene that lay before me. For what lay behind me is not so peaceful. Behind me ( directly behind me) is a cat on my seat making sure I cant sit on the whole thing. A rabbit who could not stay in the barn because of the cold weather which is including a pre-christmas snow. Two puppies who cant mind their own buisness, and want to "play" with the bunny. A dog, who moves way too slow, and wonders why your pushing her down the hall ( usually we have to scoot her down the hall, unfortunatly she is a little fat, and carrying heavy things, its hard to get her to move in a quicker fashion). And if you adjust your eyes to look a little farther back, you will see my sisters bedroom set, the hall cupboard, the rabbit, 3 dogs, 1 cat, and a mattress set, all in the kitchen.  The kitchen is not the worst, in the living room, there is a dresser, a vanity seat, a small tv, a bedside table, a chair, and all the sheets and blankets from my parents bed.

You may think that these are the symptoms of moving, well they are, but not in this case, we are simply trying to exchange bedrooms between my sister and my parents. All this is going on in the background, and there is a baby who wants attention, a rabbit who needs water every hour or so, 3 dogs who really dont understand what it means to be in the way, and a cat...who could really care less...exept...she thinks we are moving agian, and therefore, sees fit to make a ton of noise, and make sure that if we do leave, she goes with.

Oh, and my step brother is popping in for a visit, and he has just arrived, so I should go.

There is no such thing as an ordinary day, and if you've had one, theres something wrong.

Dear Reader, while my sister-in-law is recovering from her gall bladder surgery, we have my 1 1/2 month old neice to babysit. My dear friend Madge and I had a field trip to go to today, so she spent the night last night and fell in love with little Shea.

We awoke to a blanket of snow on the ground, only about a half inch, but it was good enough to make it white. We bundled up and headed out for the art museum in the next town where we were supposed to meet some other people who are members of our online school. When we got there, however, no one was over 5 feet tall, or over the age of 12. Being 1 1/2 months, 15, 16, 18, and a mom, we decided it wasnt exactly the place for us. So back to the house we went, ate grilled cheese sandwiches and soup, and settled down to keep out of the cold.

Madges Grandma came and picked her up, and and now there isnt much to the day. White Christmas is playing on the radio, a pineapple upside down cake is baking in the oven, a baby is sleeping to White Christmas, and we are all sitting in the kitchen, just enjoying the cold but peaceful day.

There is no such thing as an ordinary day, no matter how ordinary it seems.

-Sarah Daisy

Dear Reader, I thought I would share a little about my day with you.

  We had my brother, sister in law, and neice spend the night. This morning we went out to do a little christmas shopping at JC Penny's, where we departed with the three who spent the night, and went over to a book store. Mom had decided she had done enough shopping for the day, so she went to the coffee shop in the book store, and went to order her coffee. I tagged along, and while in line, there was a woman behind us, who really wanted to strike up a conversation. While in line my mom, the woman, and I talked religion, we ordered our coffee's and left to go sit down. Apperently she was a little lonely, so she came up to us agian, and we all started talking, agian. We talked more religion, food, farms, occupations, and what color to paint her table. All in all the conversation was nice, and it was refreshing to hear someone say Merry Christmas rather than seasons greetings or happy holidays, or any other such nonsense. We bought our books and left, and all the way home I was thinking of that "nice lady at the book store", and since I never learned her name, that is what she will be remembered as.

Should auld acquaintance be forgot, 
And never brought to mind? 
Should auld acquaintance be forgot, 
And auld lang syne

To all who read, have a merry christmas.

Dear Reader, I would like to take tonight to tell you about our Thanksgiving and Christmas hand-me-down and traditional recipes.

Starting with breakfast, our coffee cake. This is made every year and was started by my brother Matt. He made it the morning before Thanksgiving, and we decided that it was so good, that we had to have it Thanksgiving morning too. The tradition carried over to Christmas, and that is how the coffee cake tradition was born.

Here is the recipe, coming from my  great-grand-mothers Betty Crocker picture cook book.

Mix together thoroughly.........3/4 cup sugar, 1/4 cup soft shortening, 1egg

Stir in........................................1/2 cup milk

Sift together and stir in.........11/2 cups sifted flour, 2 tsp. baking powder, 1/2 tsp. salt

Spread batter in a greased and floured 9'' square pan. Sprinkle with desired topping. Bake until wooden pick thrust into the center of cake comes out clean. Serve warm, fresh from the oven.

TEMPERATURE 375, BAKE 25 TO 35 MINUTES.

For the topping, mix together, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 2 tbsp. flour, 2 tsp. cinnamon, 2 tbsp butter melted.    Just sprinkle it on top before you put it in the oven, and it makes a wonderful crumbly texture on top!

Now, for our oldest family tradition, Veggie Cassarole. Used for both Thanksgiving, and Christmas!

2 cans petit poi peas (that means small:P)
2 cans french cut greenbeans
1 can cream of mushroom soup (do not add liquid)
2 cans sliced water chestnuts
4 cups shredded cheese
1 large container of French's fried onions
 
Mix peas, greenbeans, mushroom soup, water chestnuts and half of the cheese in large bowl. Pour into greased baking dish (9x13). sprinkle the remaining cheese and fried onions over the top and bake in 350 degree oven for an hour or until bubbly. Remove from oven and let sit 10 minutes before serving. Yummmm!

Other than that, we have our turkey, and it is pan roasted, with stuffing. Cranberry sauce is always on the side! There is a side dish of extra stuffing, candied yams, mashed potatoes, and bread rolls.

After dinner we all go into the living room, put up the tree, decorate it, and then each of us settles down with a piece of pie, and we watch Miracle on 34th Street with Natalie Wood.

And that is our Thainksgiving! Feel free to use the recipes, after all thats what their there for!

Have a wonderful thanksgiving!

Dear Reader, if you read my last entry, this is not what i wanted to talk about in my "next post". I am the grim reaper of the farm. I am the mortition, the coronor, the investigator of all deaths on the farm.

Today we lost Pie to pneumonia. I went out to feed this morning, I found Pie on his side, and not crying. I was thinking, "we just lost him". He was still alive to my surprise, but it dint take long for me to lose my third Nubian, my fourth goat, my seventh animal. I almost feel jinxed. But unfortunately there was nothing I, nor anyone else, could do. I think the hardest part was it was another animal that died in my arms. And just another one who I could not help. But maybe my lot in life is to help them die. Thats what I do best. I help them live, give birth, and die. But what else is there?  

On this farm, I have lost our buck, Manny, my Nigerian buckling, Mary-anns two Nubian kids, Pie and Phylias, Mary-Anns rabit, and two puppies. Not to mention countless chickens, chicks, a flock of ducks, the list goes on and on. I am in favor of the idea, that we take a year off. No animals exept the indoor animals.

Well thats all for now, I hope your day is brighter than mine.

There is no such thing as an ordinary day.

-Sarah Daisy

Dear reader,

 All is peaceful this morning, and that is a rare treat! The leaves have stoped falling for the season, and the sky is the most beautiful color of...gray. lol. Not much is happening around the farm this morning, all is so still, it would seem that even to wisper would somehow desturb the quiet.

I havent much to say this fine morning, but I just wanted you all to know that I didnt fall of the edge of the earth.

I am learning Italian in school, which I find pretty cool since my father is Italian, and a lot of his family still speaks the language. Math is hard, English is frustrating, and History is always interesting.

Tomarrow, hopefully, I will have more to post about.

Until next time, dear reader.

There is no such thing as an ordinary day, this one is too quiet to be ordinary!

-Sarah Daisy

Dear Reader, I want to strangle "Murphy". I dont know who he is, but he said "Anything that can go wrong, will." That describes my day.

Our land-lord showed up very early in the morning, and we had not finished cleaning the house. I had just taken a shower, and was the only one not still in pj's, so I had to greet him at the door. Now the reason he came, was to fix the pump house ( just thought I would throw that one out there! lol). Well he went out and started measuring everything so he could get suplies to rebuild the pump house, and Mary-Ann tells mom that there is a lot of water on the floor, and because I was the last one to take a shower, I needed to clean it up. Now, when I got into the bathroom, I was expecting a little water...no...it was a LAKE! lol. I knew I couldnt have gotten that much water on the floor, just from a shower, so I looked under our claw foot bath tub, and find a leaking pipe! : P We had a mop and bucket in the kitchen so I grabbed them, and told mom what happened. The bucket had some water in it from the last time we mopped the floor, so I went into our mud room to empty it. The sink was kinda full, so I started emptying it. The last item I picked up was a dinner bell that we bought oh-so-long-ago. I thought I saw some paper in the sink, so I reached down to grab it, and...there was no sink! And what I thought was paper, was nothing more than a hole! In the sink! I couldnt help but laugh at this one, everything had gone wrong, and this was just the cherry on the cake of it! : ) So I told mom about the sink, and eventually got the lake mopped up out of  the bathroom (  which took about ten minutes). Now I am inside, finally warm, a little tired from helping everything get done, and I just want to fill my tummy and go to bed : )

Well dad will be coming home soon, and as always, he will be expecting dinner. So now dear reader, I will leave you with the knowledge, that, there is no such thing as an ordinary day.

Sarah Daisy

Well life is as normal as could be expected here on the farm. Three dogs keep us busy and ever buying food. And fathers keep us ever entertained. And I am sure you all know what I mean, and if you dont, then you should get a taste of my dad!

  About a month ago, I was just starting my schooling, and I was having some trouble on the computer. So I called my dad in to fix it. After about 15 minutes he had the problem solved, and wanted to know what website to go to for my school. I told him and he went to the first part of the address I gave him, but refused to continue typing into the address bar what needed to go in. After a long and tiring debate on how it needed to be typed, I finally gave up and started laughing. He was just being so funny and stubborn. He finally found the site his way, and never tried to get onto the website agian! lol.

And dont think that was the only time he has done something funny! About 2 months ago, he did something I considered odd. First off, you have to know that you can hear him snoring through out the whole house. He has to go to bed early on the weekends, because he has to work early in the morning. Mom and I were sitting in the living room, and we hear dad stop snoring. He walks into the living room, goes over to the front door, and procedes to turn off the lamp-post light in the driveway, and goes back to bed. It took us about 10 minutes to figure out that you cannot see the glow from said lamp from his window! Now I am not sure if he was sleep-walking, or if he really is that odd, but that was one of the funniest thing he has ever done.

One more thing, agian, about 2 months ago, we were going to see a movie, but we hadnt decided what to watch. Here comes the great debate. Dad wants to see something, Mom wants to see something else, and Mary-Ann is dead set on seeing Kung Fu Panda. I am just sitting back, with no opinion, just wanting to see who would win this one. They go on for about 15 minutes, and finaly dad yells into the back seat ( just to make sure Mary-Ann can hear him) We are not going to see Kung Pu Fanda! It took him a moment to realize what he had just said, and by the time he figured it out, we were all just dying laughing! He however did not find it funny, but now laughs at himself about it. And if you are wondering, yes, we did see Kung Fu Panda, and we were all laughing about " Kung Pu Fanda" the whole night.

In the area of dogs, I am sure we all want them to meet their maker! So far they have eaten a sock, a phone book, a rabit magazine, and I know your thinking it, they have even eaten a potted plant. Along with what they have destroyed, they have peed on every rug in the house exept mine, but they have peed on my spare bed ( and made sure they went through two blankets, and both sheets, but I caught them just before they got to my matress), and used the hall way as a not so rustic outdoorsy toilet! Oh, and there is the antique hand crank sewing machine handle that was lost at the mercy of Mary-Anns dog Tipper, and to get back at her for it my dog Paisley chewed on the corner of Mary-Anns hope chest! lol. There have been countless dog fights, in our livingroom no less! Chased chickens and ducks and goats and other dogs and a pounced on cat!

But other than the hillarity going on around the farm, all is peaceful and quiet!

Just remember, there is no such thing as an ordinary day!

Sarah Daisy

Dear Reader, I appologise for having not

written in such a long time. But truthfully, not

much is going on.

I just started school, and I know what you are

probably thinking, I did get a very late start

this year. But I am now a member of aonline

school along with my friend Madge. I have been

pretty busy. with my studies, and that is one of

the reasons for neglecting he blog! But with 4

subjects I am trying to learn all at once, plus in

about a week I will start learning Italian. I

dont understand Algebra in the least, and I

want to hurt whoever came up with pi! : P : ) lol.

But all in all, I am learning a lot! I just dont

know if my brain is big enough for all of it!

Hawk Nelson is my friend! Sarah Daisy

Dear Reader, We all bundled up and went to church today, and what a day it is! The sky is overcast, and beneath the overcast is even more clouds, a gentle breeze is blowing outside, and the leaves are quietly falling. There seems to be the same atmosphere inside as well. Though no breeze can be felt, and it is much warmer than the outdoors, all is quiet, inside, and out. No fire occupies the fireplace, which only makes the room in which I sit seem all the more darker, but something that brightens up a seemingly tired and gloomy day, is the trees. The rich colors, make this tired old world seem cheerier, and, well, livelier. The heat of summer now over, the once brown grass is no becoming the brightest green, and the leaves that were once green, are now the flashiest colors of red, and yellow, and crowned with the most enchanting yellow-green. Even the mountians, in their stately fashion, and nearly always a indescribable color of blue, are now highlighted with all the colors of fall. Soon it will be time to get our Thanksgiving turkey, and put up garlands and lights for Christmas, the Christmas tree will go up on Thanksgiving night, and we will spent at least a week after that digging out, fixing, re-gluing, and cleaning all the Christmas decorations that we have gathered and collected throughout the years. But until then, we will sit and see the fall colors from out our windows, and watch the miracle, the changing of the seasons.

No matter how it seems, there is no such thing as an ordinary day.

Sarah Daisy

Dear Reader, Not much has happened recently, I just turned 16, Mary-Ann has an ear infection, and the dogs are constantly getting into trouble for making "messes" in the house, and I am sure you catch my drift when I say messes. Yes their favorite spot in the house is the hall, so one get quite a surprise when one trys to get to the bathroom in ones bare feet!

Well the fall colors are finally starting to drift into the valley, and with it the bitter reminder that winter is close at hand. But for now we are all enjoying the lovely browns, reds, and yellows, that come with the changing of summer to fall. Fires are lit in the fireplace and we are all in the living room and library during the day and early evening. It seems that it is the only warm place in the house, even with the heaters on, the rest of the house still seems to maintain a steady 55 digrees. : )

My sister-in-law is nearly ready to have her first child, SheaLynn. Well truthfully she was ready to have the baby about 3 weeks ago, but God is now starting to move things along : )

While I was at my brother and sister-in-laws house, my poor dear sister-in-law, Kristina, had a gall bladder attack. And I cannot tell you the panic in my heart when my brother came to me and said, we're going to the hospital. So I went with, and as a result I stayed up until 5:30 in the morning to make sure everything was alright, so Matt and Kristina could sleep until it was time to go home agian. Did I mention that we went at midnight? Yeah, I was tired, to say the least! : P

Well just some more of my days, and remember, there is no such thing as an ordinary day!

Thank you for reading, and God bless.

I have descovered, that 12 months out of the year are spent planning, or preparing.

Yesterday, we cleaned out the barn, preparing for more hay to be brought in when we find the time to go buy some. My sister and I started to talk about all the preperation we would have to make this year for the hard winter we are expecting. There was hay that needed to be bought, bucked, and stacked in our barn, and preparing our animals too, there are blankets that need to be bought for the goats that dont have thick enough coats, like BlackBerry, our nine year old nigerian dwarf doe, who, from age is now starting to bald. There is wood that needs to be split, pens to be cleaned, feet to be trimmed, roofs that leak need repair, and pens need to be fixed. Basically everything here needs to be able to withstand up to a foot of snow, including the animals.

Then there is what we prepare for in the winter, when we start planning the garden, clipping goat feet agian, and waiting for all the snow to melt.

In spring we start tilling where the garden will be, the ground is still frozen, and there is an ocasional dusting of snow, letting us know that winter is not ready to leave us yet. The garden always gets in late, due to a late frost, one which either wipes out all the garden we have planted, or leaves us wary so that we wait until mid to late June to get our garden in.

Then summer, that is one of our busiest times of year, there is the farmers markets, the harvesting, the canning, the raking weeding, the animal pens that need cleaning, and goat feet need to be trimmed agian, county fair, and the heat keeps us going late in the night and early in the morning so we miss the heat of the day. Then there is the sleep over that miss Madge and I like to do with both of her little sisters, all this and we really arent ready to rest on Sunday, even though we have been going all week, we cant seem to slow down. Then there is at least one BBQ that we have to have, that usually happens about 2 weeks after Independence Day ( just another quirky thing we do). And we are all preparing for the preparation in fall.

And then, what do you know?! Its fall agian.

Ahh, the sweet life I live on the farm, and I still dont have any ordinary days!  Well there is a house to clean, a barn to finish, and, well, you read the rest above! lol. To every thing there is a season.

There is no such thing as an ordinary day.

Sarah

Well hello there agian. Here I am with another adventure from the homestead.

   Today we ventured to a new church. And that at least proved to be interesting. I have to say I liked the old church better, but commuting in the weather we have here in Oregon can at times be very hazardess to the health. So this church that we have chosen is non-denominational and a little wierd. And I am not dissing them but it just different. The pastor is realy nice, he is an older gentleman who tends to ramble a little in his sermen but the things that he rambles about at least stays at the same base and he doesnt go way out into left field like some. The church is realy rather..... quaint, I guess that is the best way to put it. It was established in 1895 and very classic looking like you would expect your parents to be married in. It has a spire but I dont think it holds a bell. The inside is beautiful in the strangest sence, the walls are in wood paneling that goes onto the ceiling, and there is wonderful white wainscoting going about three and a half feet up the wall. There is crown molding around all the windows and doors. The flooring is wood that comes into a "Y" shape and there is carpeting in a "V" shape surrounding the wood floors. And where the pulpet is it looks like a stage in a good way, the front is pocketted and framed in the most eligent molding and there are stain glass windows on the wall in the back...of the front...in the pocket...where the pulpet is...any ways its cool looking.The pews were (I believe costom made for the church) very charming. They believe in keeping tradition and they have a sunday every month where they have a potluck, and little things like that.

   Mom and Dad cirtianly liked the place so we will be going agian next sunday. Dont get me wrong, I like the place too but I miss my old church where every body talks to every body and hearing the noises of the children that I thought were such brats at the time and singing all the songs I am now used too. But life is an adventure and I am going to enjoy it for now.

   Well I guess that is all for now and I will post agian soon. Bye.

Hello there

       WelI am just in the middle cold and I am fairly miserable. Sparky still has the things on her face. And I am tired of this day I need a new one. So I am going to try to get some sleep tonight. I just thought  I would let you all know that I have not fallen off the face of the earth.

On the Dailey's farm yesterday when push came to shove, yank came to pull or rather Mrs. Dailey did. We were allerted early that morning agian with a phone call from "Madge" saying that babys were do any time and we needed to hurry down there to help and enjoy the new babies.  When we got there Abigail there very preagnant and ready to pop doe was looking rather good for her "condition" and all seemed to be normal ( well as normal as normal comes with a goat in labor ). Then some thing odd happened there were three bubbles ( I am not very experienced at this so I was kinda waiting to see if I needed to help Mrs. Dailey to help Abby ) three bubbles hmmmm.  In my mind all seemed to be ok exept  Abby was a little too uncompfortable. And she had been pushing and struggling for much to long. So Mrs Dailey decided it was time to check things out and I am so glad I didnt have to help in that little venture, no instead I was to hold the flailing and rather ennoyed expectant mother while Mrs Dailey ............ helped.  Joy upon endless joy when we found out that the first baby ( or at least the one most anxious to get out ) was turned backwards and there were no feet to grasp only a tail. So that one was pushed out of the way and the second one was placed perfectly ( or as good as it comes).  It came out a beautiful baby boy with beautiful spots all over him and a black lip like his mamma.  Next to come was the baby turned around and that one came out in half a push, it was a wonderful baby girl who oddly enough came out looking just like her half sister. While we were just starting to fawn over her out came her little brother, another buckling that looked just like his dad in a raving pure white.

       Now thats not all the exitement going on around I recently was told that my sister-in-law is now expexting a little one. We are all very happy and proud of them. And greatly anticipating the up coming event.

       I would appreciate prayer for my aunt we just found out that she suffered a stroke and is now paralized on the left side and cannot speak clearly.

       Gods little reminders that there is no such thing as an ordinary day are becoming so frequent that I wonder, what is an ordinary day? Is it a day where everything goes acording to plan? Or a day where  everything in it seems to be good?  And would what we consider an ordinary be out of the usual? Perhaps the days we think are so odd are the days that are the most normal. People talk about going home after a vacation and say that it will be hard going back to an ordinary life where nothing seems to be an adventure. I suppose in a way those people also dont recognize a miracle when it happens right in front of them. Like turning down a wrong street and being irritated about it and when you finaly get back on the right track you are even more irritated because you have to stop in a trafic jam and when you finaly get up to where the trouble is you dont realize that the car that was right behind you had been in a wreck. God intervined and you dont even know it, you could now be dead but you dont give it another thought. This has happened to me and my family before we thank God that he spared us and we pray for whoever was in that car. When you start to walk one hundred miles and you at first think this is impossible but the only way for it to be possible is to take the first step.  Nothing is impossible with God and all it takes is an open mind and a first step to see what God is trying to show you. And I can guarintee you will be amazed.

Well dear reader God blessed the Dailey family with three new additions to the family yesterday from the expecting Opal. All seemed quiet and still as if being gentle with their noises so as not to disturb the soon to be new mother. Except us as we were all waiting around seemingly more exited than the mother who was getting a little freaked out about so many people
around for what she wanted a little more privacy than she was getting. So we left her to get some food and we let her walk around hoping that would encourage some baby action. Well about a half an hour later little Charlotte came up and told Maddie and I that Opal was looking funny. While Maddie was being a butt I went over to see what was wrong and Opal was starting to drop so I sent Charlotte into the house to grab the parents while I had to grab "The M" and we all met up back at the goat pen and we waited about 15 minutes and then there was Selena an almost perfectly white little doeling with a little peach spot on the back of her neck and on the back of her legs
after a while out came Tarnag and Adurna  and here they areand here is Madge with her little girl Adurna and  Tarnag  as you  can see is trying to get in the shot
Well that is all for now and I want to thank you for reading and I hope you enjoy the pictures
