Then a baby goat that was about 3 months old was eating some food when the oldest billy goat came up and swung his head around to shoo the baby away. Unfortunately, his long horns caught the baby goat's leg and the baby ended up being picked up and swung around. He ended up with a broken leg and limped around for a few weeks. Now you can hardly tell him from the other baby goats.
So, the baby goat that was born on Easter had an injury as well. My dad has tin laying around that he uses to cover the wood piles for the fire place. The goats like to walk around on the tin and we think the baby walked on part that had a hole and scraped his back leg. At any rate, he had the top layer of skin taken off from right above his hoof. So he was doctored on a lot and now is doing better and will walk on that leg.
While all this doctoring was going on with that baby, another goat had a baby. This makes the third black baby we've had, which is cool, we just don't know where that color is coming from. The majority of the other goats have had cream colored babies that either turned white, or a dark tan color. So the black babies have made things interesting.
In other news, our rose bush has gone crazy. This is after a storm that made lots of petals fly away. The funny thing about this rose bush is that the blooms are so many different colors. Some are dark pink with yellow centers. Some are light pink with white centers. Some look almost red at first and fade to pink. Some have a center that starts out orange and turns yellow.
Then finally, my yellow irises have bloomed. They have much bolder color than the purple ones.
Most of the irises have finished blooming, so this will probably be the last picture that will feature them.
We've planted out veggies so when they start growing bigger I'll post pictures of them. I've also planted more flowers in the front and have more stuff to put out. Pictures of that will follow soon as well.
