Not pretty but effective. |
The goats also prefer to have the south side of their barn open so that they can peer out to see what is going on, but during swirling, blowing storms, snow tends to blow inside so I temporarily cover everything up. Even so,I often see a head or two sticking out from behind the tarps, with this "where ARE you, is time to EAT" look. Also tucked inside is a quite pregnant Nigerian Dwarf that is due any day now.
Jamboree: "I'm waiting for the coldest, snowiest night to have my babies." Me: "PLEASE wait until we have a nice sunny afternoon. April woud be good." |
Even Heidi who usually spends her time like this:
sometimes tucks inside the alley way to snooze in the hay out of the worst of the weather.
Anyway, we are officially on baby (and weather) watch!
I'm cold just thinking about you putting up the tarps for the goats. We've had a lot of wind also making it very cold outside. I handle that by staying inside except to run to my car and to get the mail.
ReplyDeleteMost of the time the cold doesn't bother me. I usually look forward to going out first thing in the morning. Really windy days...that's another matter.
DeleteI'm looking forward to the blog with nigerian dwarf baby pictures. Anything yet?
ReplyDeleteShe's still holding out...only at day 146 but I've never had a dwarf go full term. Maybe that's because they always look like they are about to explode after their 4th month. She's not huge so expecting twins at most.
DeleteYou should see our place... tarps and plastic sheeting everywhere!
