At the beach


At the beach, originally uploaded by cabanagirl.

I spent the last 3 days in Southern California. When at the beach.. When I return home it is now a ritual to walk on the beach. I love it. Yesterday the walk was up and down the bluffs and beach of Dana Strand. The temperature was in the 50s (low for California but it was 17 deg in Denver) The tide was low and it was a great day to have a camera with you. Come with me for a walk on the beach

These are the little doelings that I helped kid last week. When I arrived at Caramel Apple Farms to help out this morning I was told their mommy died a couple of days ago. They secretly told me they wanted to come home with me. If you have never seen goat babies at play you must add it to your bucket list. Check out the following video for a good giggle

Kidding


kidding, originally uploaded by cabanagirl.

Brand new baby goats!. Yesterday I went to my own goats place of birth to help out the new Mamas and their kidding....the goat word for giving birth. This beautiful Mama had JUST delivered her first doeling. The human helpers were in the process of cleaning her up and presenting her to her Mama to let her goat instincts take over. The second one was on her way already. The second one was struggling for air so without any orientation I was immediately put to work to help get this little baby breathing. All of our efforts paid off and the second little one in the one in the picture at her mothers front legs. She is all cleaned up and ready for the world
This was a miraculous day. I am so glad I could help do my share.
Coco and Sunflowers kidding day will be coming soon.
