More on Goats on our Farm

Anybody out there still wondering what we named the baby goats? We haven't reported back on this, because we are very embarrassed to say that we can't seem to agree, so we are still calling them: Boy Goat and Girl Goat. Here are a few of the "winning" names:

Thessa and Nicky (this is what the Bible scholars prefer)
Caramel and Nougat
Star and Buck (my own personal favorite)
Caddie and Whompus
Ginger and Pablo (this is the preference of the younger set, based on books and video games)

Good thing we never let the children in on naming the new human babies! They would still be running around nameless!

Needless to say that the (goat) babies aren't very little any more (they are way bigger than the photos here), and are into all sorts of trouble when they manage to get out of their pen. I am not sure I will have many flowers in our courtyard this summer. In case you didn't know, goats LOVE geraniums. They assume any and ALL geraniums were planted for their pleasure, and they prefer the ones that are the hardest to reach. Which means that they trample anything in their way to get at them!

Don't let this cute little face fool you!!!!!!! It is just looking for trouble!

We are enjoying fresh goat cheese and goat milk.
