This has been a busy week.  The weather has warmed and we've even had a few days of sunshine!  The hens are starting to increase their egg laying already. 

The horses are starting the shed a bit with this warmer weather.  Marcos is growing like a weed and becoming more handsome by the day.  The new baby girl Bella is cute as a button.  Just a bit more and it will be breeding season for the broodmares already.  Warm-up show season starts next month already so I certainly hope we are warmed up, but, no rush.

We got bedding shavings delivered this weekend and Holy Cow! The price went up again!  Even though we don't use much because we have matted stalls and animals go out all day, I am going to look into some recycled paper alternatives.

The mama goats are bulging and I am checking daily for increasing udder size.  One doe, Snowflake, is starting to bag up, so those baby goats should be here in just a one or two weeks! Baby goats are so cute and so much fun.  Once the first doe gives birth, there tends to be a pheremone domino effect.  I can feel twins in at least 3 of the does who are biggest, and sometimes you can see the little rascals doing somersaults in mamas' bellies.
