any fish in the pond?
(And, I had always heard, that "when it's springtime in Alaska it's 40 below"..)

Where I am spring is 40s, but positive 40s.

We have stocked it... not sure if it still has fish though.

Stupid mama goat.

Mocha walked away from her babies... went to sunbathe with the herd.

Guess I will need to keep a better eye on her.

I have had a couple of sheep do that. They just assume their babies will follow and most do.

Edit to add: You can keep your weather.

ha! on the weather.


But as to Mocha... I sure wish she wouldn't keep ditching her kids.... I don't lock them up during the day... so without the doe almost anything could eat the kids. Luckily the kids tend to bed down in the barn when Mocha goes out to play in the sun.

But then Mocha hikes FAR away from the barn, instead of staying with earshot.

Hopefully 1 or 2 more days of pairing them back up on occasion, and the kids will follow just fine.
