Our hike in the woods with the pack and herd

I think it was quite the success!

The goats have enjoyed being able to join us on our walks and it is hilarious to hear the cow bell around Olive's neck start bouncing as she runs to catch up after stopping for a snack. Those little legs have to work extra hard to keep up with everyone LOL

Added more to our apple harvest last night. Hoping to get the rest tonight or tomorrow.

And I hope this gives a good laugh or two. Found this in our woods on our walk last night haha!

LOL I am sure he would if he wasn't so frustrated with this one it would be a nice break in the cold weather here lol. and thank you I am still not 100% sure what I am doing with the goats but I do know I love them (aside for waiting till 2017 for milking), they are healthy and they love us LOL. We call the wether the garage goat because he is always looking over my husbands shoulder while he is working on cars. That is my husbands goat for sure. I am still trying to convince him to let me get another girl... or two we will see how that works... need to expand their pen first.

Oh... and trying to teach them to be "real goats"... my friend with goats locally says mine are broken, as a joke, and I need to return them because they don't like lettuce, carrots, zucchini, apples or animal crackers lol.... I always get the weird ones.

Yep... more pictures from last nights walk... Fall is my FAVORITE time of year with all the colors.... can you tell?


Livy Lou because she's too cute...

Stella with Rumely. Things have mellowed a lot more with these two although she still gets snippy with him (he kinda pushes beyond the point of no return with her)

We enjoy our evening walks together

FALL COLORS and Tilda admiring them with me, or so it seems

More pretty colors! And of course my beautiful Tilda

And it just wouldn't be complete without a picture of someone doing something funny/dorky so here are my two piggies who would rather eat pine needles, both dead or alive, over apples, grass, leaves, animal crackers, hay and anything else they "should" like eating.

I should add, do NOT get caught by either of them standing under, near or even within visual of a tree of ANY kind.... They WILL try to climb you to get to it. I have my share of bruises from them on our walks in the woods but they are SLOWLY learning they can not do that.

While I am updating I may as well share the updated pictures of my boys from this years withholding's
This is Titus.

Brutus

This little girl is going to Ohio but is looking AWESOME!

And Little Boy Blue- I am not sure if he will stay or not... Love his head... that is about it... just letting him mature a bit more but he peaks really early and slopes off. Sigh. I had hopes with his Pure Blue coloring too. Oh well... maybe next year.

Looking nice we have a couple colors around, but I am a ski girl so prefer late fall when the lines are short to the skiing. But you seem to have a great look around there.

 

[samssimonsays]

Yes. We were on a list saying our area was the top 2% of the state for colors so soon in the year.

Well the show Saturday went very well! I got great comments on my jrs and intermediate rabbits. I showed 13 and all did very well! My intermediate broken Opal doe, alchemy, took best opposite variety against some very tough competition (srs ) and my solid blue steel Buck Titus ,also an intermediate, took best opposite in the solid variety. He was also against some very stiff competition! My jrs were the only broken Jr's there but they did great and I was told to hold onto them as they are looking to be very promising. So glad I decided to pull them from my for sale listings. I should have some extremely nice bucks to show come spring time with that I've kept back this year to replace my older bucks who are past their show prime.

Here is a pic of myself and Titus at the show waiting to be called for our breed. He was an absolute ham, just like his grandpa!
