When you're naked, best to just smile and enjoy it

Sophie, and the sheep, all got sheered yesterday

Pre sheering smile

Today's smile of the moment

Today's smile of the moment brought to you by Raggedy Man.

Smile of the Moment

In which we smile back at Raggedy Man, on of the Misfits.

I came upon this photo today and felt it was worth reposting - so smile everyone!

Smile of the moment

Raggedy Man reminds me of a Muppet because he has these adorable fluffy feet, and he always has this impish little expression. He arrive at Apifera with Lofa back in June after New Moon Goat Rescue took them in. They are both dear fellows and wonderful additions to the Misfits.

Can't have a sanctuary but want to help? You can donate to the care of the Misfits here at Apifera. All is greatly appreciated.

Smiling of lambs

The stress of Rosa's delivery on Tuesday overshadowed the joy of Elida Ruth's twins born without incident on Sunday night. There is nothing a shepherd likes more than arriving at the barn to two healthy lambs. She hadn't even gone off feed and her udder wasn't that big, so I was bit surprised. I find the first time mom's do not show all the same signs of pre-labor as the seasoned ewes.

With not a cloud in the sky, they got to sun all day in the orchard, along with Nellie Moser and her lambs. Audrey joined them since she is lame and carrying quite the load. Close your eyes, imagine that first day you felt the sun and your toes met the grass. I'm sure you leaped a little too, and wiggled, and smiled just like these little creatures.

The smile of the moment....can last all day. Do you know who is smiling here?

The smile of Stella

Years ago, when I was a freshly showered single lass wandering the city for amusement, I always had a farm in my head - where it was I didn't quite know. And I knew that future farm would have goats.
