May is a wonderful time to be at Hidden Springs Farm.  I just love all of the green.  The trees have their leaves, the hay pasture is tall and lush, and the herb garden is coming up wonderfully.  This past weekend, we weaned the 1st set of kids.  It is rather noisy right now as the does call for their kids and the kids call for them.  But everyone is settling in nicely and before long, the kids will forget about nursing and will be waiting for me to bring their feed. 

   Our little bottle baby, BB, is also being weaned.  It is very hard for me not to bring him a bottle when he starts calling me.  But, he is a big boy now!  BB has made friends with our new barn kitty Sissy. 

  Our angora goats, Venus, Weenie, and Holly have had their spring shearing and do look a bit silly without their beautiful coats.  Can you believe they are already growing back in.  It is amazing how quickly their coats grow.  Sam will be sheared this week.  I'm not as young as I used to be so after shearing three, my back decided it needed a rest.  Besides, Sam is a big boy so I will need my strength to shear him.

   We hope that you are enjoying the beautiful weather and wonderful colors of Spring.  We'd love to have you visit us sometime.  Just call or email.
