Rain, oh my!

We finally received rain today and severe thunderstorms with tornado warnings.  During a break in the weather, we advised the big boys to chore before the evening brought even worse weather.  To our surprise, they brought to the front porch a new baby kid!  A sweet little doeling, exactly like her momma, Petunia.  We named her Cherry Blossom and she is so sweet.  She belongs to Hannah, and after we brought her back out to the barn to stay with her goat mommy, Hannah cried for her kid.  But we have had so many kids in the house, I am really not wanting another one!

The garden is going to just LEAP out of the ground, Lord willing!  Unless the next couple days bring too much rain.  We were so dry, so maybe it will sop it all up and the weeds won't feel like being too vigorous.

We planted 47 strawberries on Friday afternoon.  We are trying for more permanent beds and put downs garden fabric.  Taylor picked up degradeable plastic stakes for it. 

We still have more strawberries to plant.  They will just have to wait.  Photos soon!
