A day in our life on the farm

Today was 73 degrees, and tomorrow is expected to reach 80.  We've had day after day of rain with more in the forecast.  Last week the creek flooded, and this week the great Ohio River is above flood stage, cresting today at 52.1 feet.  To us this means MUD, and a lot of it.
​Between rain showers, Connor and I took advantage of the warmer weather to clean out the goat barn and the chicken coop.  We created a giant mountain of poopie bedding - soon to be compost.   
The girls are enjoying their fresh clean house.

Onion and Pepperoni, twin wethers from last spring, took a trip up the hill to be with the boy herd.  
The babies, Judith and Enid, have graduated from living in the garage to having their own room in the goat barn.  Unfortunately for them, it is time to learn how to be goats.  They are now over 8 weeks old, still getting a bottle and learning to eat hay and grain.  They were not very happy about the situation. 
The grapes and rosebushes have been pruned and mulched, and the blueberries are waking up with little buds soon to be blooms.  Is it spring already?  I have a feeling there will be more cold to come.
