Where to begin?
Well...I had a FANTASTIC week-end away!!---I won't talk about that right now though.
Yesterday, my 10 year old daughter was a part of Canada's Spelling Bee...in her school. I enrolled her in that a couple of months ago..well---SHE won FIRST place in the Junior division!!!
She is off to Toronto next month for the finals! --and she won $200.00!!
Ok...then, we sold our first baby goat of the season, yesterday!
We sold Teddy--the 1/2 breed...the cutest male goat in the bunch.
This morning while I was in the kitchen...I spotted a different bird on the deck..it is a 'yellow bellied sapsucker'..
I have yet to spot one on my deck before so I snapped a shot and e-mailed the pics to my 'expert' friend---and here was his reply...
I am always fascinated by the different birds that come to my deck.
And today while I was in the barn taking pics for my 'goats for sale' advertisement---I discovered this......
Little Momma had her baby!! I knew she was due anytime...but it was so cool that she just gave birth moments prior to my coming to the barn. It was perfect timing! I don't normally go in the barn in the morning. This little girl was born at approximately 10:30 am. EST--she'll be ready to go to a new home in 3 months.
& The cake orders are pouring in!

Hi Cheryl,
What wonderful pictures! I think I'll use one for my column in the Lanark Era next week. Of course, I'll give you credit for it.
The woodpecker is a yellow-bellied sapsucker, first one reported this year. It drills neat rows of holes in trees to get the sap running for its food. In about a week, the first (male) hummingbirds will be reported for they follow the sapsuckers northwards being guaranteed a supply of nectar.

Marie..thanks! Yes, it is a teensy bit sad when I see the babies go.
Poor Teddy--he cried all the way down the driveway as we carried him to the car.
