It's Begun!

Well, Signet Dairy Goat's first kid of the season has hit the ground!
He's a perky little sundgau with white splashes, out of Signet Argentina and by Signet Sir Jocelyn. And he's got a perfectly healthy appetite!
[He actually hit the ground quite a few days ago, but this blogger-thing has been giving me trouble with signing in. And with things being busy, I've not had a bunch of time to devote to it!]
And Argentina is doing a great job of providing, her milk production is climbing swiftly and nearing a gallon a day already. I am happily anticipating what it will look like a few more months into her lactation.
In other news, we went to a local plant trade yesterday and came home with a bunch more different plants, which will add the the wealth of our collection already. And the weather was perfect for plants to be out of the ground... heavily overcast and just a wee tad drizzly, but not too much. So the little plants are sure to be happy and feel up to a vigorous start as soon as we get them into the ground. They will fill out our new terrace beds pretty well.
So, spring continues to get springier and I couldn't be more thrilled about it. The trees are starting to really leaf out, so their tops are covered in a sort of lacey-looking bright, light green, which is uniquely spring.
And Ave should be right around the corner with her babies...
