Having a bad day? Try a little Farm Therapy!

These pictures speak volumes! There is nothing a baby goat can't fix in about 2 minutes.

February is the month of LOVE

AsparaGUS and Clover have all of us so full of love!













HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Monday, February 16, 2009


Ivy had her kids on Monday this week, while I was at WalMart. Her aunties, Karen and Laura, and I all fretted over her for hours Monday morning. I was convinced Ivy wouldn't "go" until after 10PM. We all left to get some errands done, and that's when she had them. OH IVY!
These are the most LOVED goats in Virginia. With the help of prayer partners, Facebook, Blogspot, and email, we have people from all over the US following Ivy's babies. We named them AsparaGUS and Clover, keeping with our plant theme in goat names.


I am SO proud to introduce our unexpected additions to Edenbrook Farm . . .

And I thought Ivy was just fat!



How could this happen to my little girl? We've had a whirlwind week at Edenbrook trying to adjust to the BIG news that our Ivy is pregnant and going to deliver any day! i spent two nights this week sleeping at the farm and checking on her every 2 hours through the night. No sign of the kids yet!

My friends Laura and Karen, have been great Aunties, and helping me pass the time as we all wait on pins and needles. The billy goat is white and Ivy is black and tan. Hmmm.. . . .I wonder what colors we'll see in the kids.

My family has started a list of possible names for the babies. Blog your suggestions or vote on what we have already! So far the favorites are "Clover", "Lily", "Asparagus", "Edamame", "Annabelle", and "Oakey".




And an update on the horses . . . I have rehomed the whole herd to a new trail riding adventure. A local cowboy came Wednesday and loaded them on the trailer, for continued training and their new job as trail horses. It is a relief to have found them the perfect place. God is so good! I'm taking a break from the big horses until the pond thaws and the weather is above 35. I'm a grumpy farmer when I have to break the ice! Ha.
