Mama Goats

What a blessing it is to have friends who are willing to share their farm with us! :o) This past weekend we enjoyed visiting their very expectant mama goats ...
This mama was a little jealous for the attention Peter was giving to the chickens ...
And Matthew ...
enjoyed snoozing with Daddy! :o)
We're hoping to be able to see the babies born, which will be really cool! :o)

(Did you know that during the winter, goats always give birth between 1:00 and 3:00 p.m., so that their babies can be born during the heat of the day? Pretty incredible to see how God planned for even the smallest details in His creation!)

Nothing like kids and well, kids!

Letting children experience farm life is a great gift to give them. God's perfect plan never ceases to amaze me!

How cool to be able to actually schedule your day around a birth, so to speak! Though I would opt for seeing the new kids maybe around 4 in the afternoon?

Yes, goats are definitely more predictable than humans ... EXACTLY 150 days and at a precise time. Wouldn't THAT be nice?!?!

New goat kids are SO cute! Glad you guys have the opportunity to enjoy it.
