The Fiber Frolic

Over the weekend, we hit the Maine Fiber Frolic at the Windsor Fairgrounds.  This has become a must attend event for us.  I get to drool over the yarn and fiber and fun tools to create things with that yarn and fiber, while Nick and Ellie (who insists that her name is now Shorty) get to squee and awe over bunnies and goats and sheep.

Oh, who am I kidding?  I was squeeing over the animals more than Shorty was!  How can you not when you capture a moment like this:

 

I think we all spent our time there imagining our own future farm and what kind of animals we would have. Our own farm can't come soon enough!

Baby Goats!!

No, we didn't get baby goats.  My friend had two does kid this past week, so now she has 5 (FIVE!!) baby goats running around.  These two little ones are the bottle babes who are hanging in the house.

They were adorable! And yes, we totally wanted to take them home with us, but I think our neighbors would shoot us.  We may be in the country, but our neighbors are close by and we already have a rooster...and two dogs that bark.  I think adding a couple of goats right now wouldn't win us any friends!

But man, those little ones are putting the goat bug in my head. Having fresh goats milk every day would be heavenly! I have a half gallon in my fridge right now and more to come.
