These baby goats were all born the same day.  Shannan does not leave them with their mama's but milks them and for the first 48 hrs she gives them a bottle.
I went down one evening and helped her.  These 5 were my responsibility to get fed.  The yellow spots  tell Shannon what day they were born.  After 48 hrs. she puts them on a lamb bar.  You hold them on your lap kind of like a baby person and give them their bottle.  Only not on their backs.
This morning I looked out and Bob had Sage leading her around things in the back yard.  She thought that big spool was going to jump out and eat her.  She got better.  I am so grateful he is taking time to work with her for me. 

I have been fighting a sore throat for a couple of days.  I am relatively sure it is sinus related.  If it doesn't go away by Friday I will have to call the doctor.

Tomorrow is our quilting group.  I am putting the last of the crocheted edge on my first quilt.  I would be done if I had not taken it out.  I started with white crotchet thread but that did not look good.  So I dug around and found a spool of pink thread.  That is looking great. 

Bob is leaving in the morning to deliver 200 pounds of hamburger to a friend who bought it.  He is also taking a surprise gift for out youngest daughter from her oldest brother.  I wish I could be there to see the look on her face.  She has no idea.

We had sun today.  I wanted to get out and do something.  Its still icy in most places though and I really don't want to fall.

Have a wonderful Thursday,

Blessings.
