Big storm today! It started about 4:30 with insane winds, and it looked a lot like rain so I went to take care of the goats really quick before it started...that didn't work. I was soaked withing 20 seconds of stepping outside. I almost got blown over a couple times as well! My neighbor said we got over half an inch of rain in under ten minutes. There's a river running through the goat yard, power lines and trees down everywhere (Ownedby3alpacas should have some pictures) and we lost power a couple hours ago, it FINALLY is back on! There was a rainbow that ended right in the goats pen too, but it didn't show up in pictures :( I'll have to start digging for the pot of gold tommorow!

Me too! It was really cool, especially since we hardly ever have rainbows because were in a valley right at the base of a mountain. It was a really bright one too!

I dewormed and trimmed hooves today. The goats weren't too thrilled to be taken out of the pen and not allowed to run around, but I didn't want them to get into the fallen tree in the alpacas pasture. So they were major pains in the...um...teakettle :) while they were being led. Mainly Elf though, big surprise there :rolleyes: She's decided that leashes are awful, and if she ever finds herself on one she must jump, and run, and stop suddenly and refuse to move, and scream, and bite, and headbutt! Golly gee, was THAT fun! Then when my day couldn't get better, the latch to the goat pen broke, and I had to tie it shut with a leash while I tried to fix it.

I picked up a pile of tree branches that were taken down in the storm and gave them to the goats, which they are enjoying right now. I hope they stay occupied for a while.

I also got a fun visit from Jehova's Witnesses today. They weren't too bad, except for the fact that one of them kept trying to sidle in through our front gate, while Freddie and Titan were howling at them. Not very smart, if you ask me. They wouldn't attack, but really, why would you even go through a gate without asking?! I "casually" leaned on it so she would stop trying.
