Beautiful Evening

Today l went to our local  animal produce store and bought up big with serious 'farm stuff"! l bought vaccines l have to stick in the goats necks (yikes!) l bought wormers for them all, l bought hoof trimmers and l bought horrible little rubber bands to go around the lambs tails and the boys dangly bits!! Poor little scraps l won't look forward to that at all. Up until now we have borrowed our neighbours but l think the time has come when we have to have all this stuff ourselves. They have a couple of weeks grace before we have to do it. It only seems to bother them for  an hour or so then they seem fine. Cruel at the time and l hate it but nowhere near as awful as leaving their tails on.

Today was warm. Everyone was quite lethargic by the afternoon. The goats especially. They spent the afternoon lolling in their little palaces doing not much at all.

When Geoff got home we took off about the place with a bottle of champagne (don't know why exactly it just seemed  to be that sort of an evening.)

We hung around the front gate for a bit too long which bored the pants off the goats who settled down in the sun until we were ready to move on

It really was a beautiful evening and we dithered around doing not much at all. We moved a few pieces of timber out of the sheep yard but not until Yours Truly had scrambled up them and fallen off! Would we expect anything else?
