Summer at Fat Beagle Farm!



Well, I think I may be finally getting the hang of this blogging business, months after actually setting it up then promptly neglecting it. But not anymore! Forward!

Summer is in full swing here at the homestead-lite! The exciting news this week is that our goats are here! We have two adorable goat kids, a girl named Lily and a boy named Moose. (Lily's the white one with tan patches, and Moose is brown, black and white.) They really are stinkin' cute, don't you think? We all just LOVE them. They seem to be settling in very nicely into their barnyard. They are very personable, really, and they wail like human babies as we walk away from their yard. They sound so pitiful, but luckily the wailing stops once we're out of view. ;-)

We ended up getting chickens after all, and they're quite a bit of fun. They're thrilled to be free-ranging during the day now, though they still don't go terribly far from their coop. (More on Ted's made-from-scratch chicken palace in another post!) Who knew that chickens would have such funny personalities?
