MEANWHILE, BACK AT THE RANCH....

GRANDDAUGHTER ALLISON AND A NEW BABY GOAT...

AND TEXAS BLUEBONNETS AS WELL

AT A COUPLE OF DAYS OLD...

LAMANCHA GOAT KIDS ARE CURIOUS AND PLAYFUL

Thursday,  9:00 AM.  31 degrees F at the ferry dock, 28 on the back porch.  Wind NE, calm with occasional moderate gusts.  The sky is cloudy, the sun obscurred.  Humidity is 70% and the barometer is heading down, now at 30.15", predicting snow for Saturday.  Frankly, it feels like snow right now. 

   As they used to say in the cowboy movies when I was a kid, when the action changed suddenly from one scene to another: "Meanwhile, back at the ranch..."

   While Bayfield is struggling into spring, lambing is occurring at Two Trees Dairy Goat Farm in Weatherford, Texas.  The photos of new spring Lamancha lambs were sent from Daughter-In-Law Leslie's I phone.
   And the iconic Texas bluebonnets are blooming.

   Texas weather has been pretty nice so far, despite some cool weather, some rain and some hail.  The weather has gotten  into the 70's and higher of late, and it looks like the dairy goat herd is expanding.  

    Time to get the garden started in the Loan Star State.
