All is well with Mama and babes.
With the Spring-like weather we are enjoying,
the babes have had a chance to venture out of doors.
Staying close to Mama seems to be their main concern at this point.
Exploring will have to wait until after they have gotten their fill of milk.
Poor Missy has one udder that works well,
with a long and ample nipple that the twins prefer.
Her other teat is swollen and full...
and because it has such a small nipple, the twins leave it alone.
It will take quite a while for this teat to shrink.
Poor Missy... this was her last pregnancy.
Once the twins are weaned, Missy is retired.
Missy's two year old, Nettie, is very caring and gentle with her baby sister
and brother.
Missy has her very own "mother's helper."
I have to admit...
I have Spring Fever.
My mind is whirling with gardening ideas.
Ideas of fairy gardens, and flower gardens and vegetable gardens have
my imagination working overtime.
Yesterday I got my scroll saw humming and cut out pickets for a picket fence.
This little section of picket fence will go into my perennial garden, as a backdrop for flowers
and a little eye appeal.
I got this idea from one of my favorite bloggers... Jeri Landers.
Jeri is an author, illustrator, artist...
and just about one of the most talented women I have ever seen.
Her gardens are amazing.
She made a fence similar to this last year.
As soon as I saw it, I knew that I would have to try it myself.
You can see her fence, gardens and beautiful world
at Hopalong Hollow.
And if you happen to have a little extra money...
buy one or more of her books.
They are fabulously adorable....full of rich, detailed illustrations.
Thanks Jeri, for the inspiration!!

You go girl! I love the bunny fence! Can't wait to see it. I am hopping over to see your friend's blog.
Really like your fence, (I see the bum finger too) and will "hop" over to your friends site for a visit!
Give the twins a hug from me . . .
Which goats will be your mamas for next year's babes?
My head is also swirling with ideas for the garden. I'm in love with that bunny fence. I may have to copy it also for one area of my garden. Love the black finger nail in the pic - ouch again!! Well I'm off to go visit your fence inspiration blog. Enjoy your day!!
Those pickets turned out great. They will make a lovely fence.
Have a great weekend. Cindy
Cute pictures and thanks for linking up!
Love the new fence. I would love to have a scroll saw!!! Your finger looks very ouchy!!!!! You are going to lose that nail, me thinks.
