<![CDATA[Still no baby goats!!]]>Still no baby goats!! And the weather is now totally awful: freezing rain overnight, currently horizontal hard snow (ouch), and we're supposed to get 20cm of snow today. So maybe today is the day! It *is* the due date for 5 of them, so I'll be checking on them a lot in between trying to get back into some kind of regular writing schedule after chaos travel.

We live on 73 hectares in a national forest in North Carolina, US. Horses, not goats. Chickens and geese, not ducks.

And it's 32C here (grin)

If you don't have cameras because of no network access, this is what I did to get it to our barn. But then it may be hard to check on them outside of being there in person.

The things we do for our critters.

It really sucks. ESPECIALLY when it's cloudy and there are no stars to look at, as has been the case the last 3 nights.

But, baby goats!!

The principal was completely enamored, even after one of them peed on the floor in his office, he asked (hopefully) if I needed any help escorting the babies to the classrooms they were visiting. Goats are irresistible!

They are absurdly cute still.

How many more baby goats will happen today in between my zoom meetings?

No new baby goats overnight or early this morning, I am very appreciative of their patience, because it would have been really hard to goat-shuffle at 2am.

It is very cold and snowy today, and I kept all the goats who look close to kidding inside the barn stalls where it's a little warmer. At least it's pretty!

the two little ones seem to have very different voices. is it normal that one is so low and the other so high? or are they "saying" something different and the sound of the voices would change if they say something different?

(hope i could convey my question)
