The snow from yesterday seems to have gone the way of things enough to let us get in and out of the hollar. I was supposed to go Saturday to pick up some does and take Rosie along- we seem to be conspiring to go on a restaurant critic's tour of BBQ places and other interesting side bars. Maybe Brown Mtn. Or Max Patch. Well enough, since Ammy came back into heat and Chicago bred her. I don't mind late babies from him.

So, the doe excursion is to take place today-

Anyway, I'm waiting for the hens to start laying- we've had fresh milk and cheese from one doe- Ammy, above- and for more of the does to kid, some are due this coming week, so I 'll attempt to get some shots up of the process. I'll put some recipies with goat cheese up soon too- my stufed Portabella mushrooms are to die for.....
**************************************
We actually got the vinyl flooring on the shed sub-floor before the snow hit- and with any luck we will get the first wall up this coming weekend- 'if' the weather holds, yeah- right....I'll put the process of that up on webshots soon-

here from rosie's...welcome to blogging! i used to live in western, nc and we used to hike at max patch all the time- it was neat to hear a familiar name. i'm sure i'll be checking back to read more of your "goat" and other adventures on your farm, as i really enjoy rosie's site.
Thanks guys, I'm hoping to get more pix together as I can- like I don't have enough already- we are doing a LOT of work this spring and getting a house built, etc.
