Another Show Under Her Belt

 This summer Emma was in a wonderful production of Titanic.  Since this year marked the 100th anniversary of the ships fatal voyage the production company went all out.  This was Emma's first full musical with a mainly adult cast.  She played several roles and had 4 costume changes (and we didn't even have to make them).  The cast and the music were amazing.  We were very proud of her.  She is already preparing for roles she hopes to get during next year's shows

Here come the goats...

This fall we have decided to add a pair of Nubian dairy goats to our small homestead.  One is already producing milk and the younger doe is ready to be bred this winter. We purchased them from a local retired couple who share the same passion for self sufficiency and small family farming.  We will be blessed with two does, Belle and her baby Cailin.  We look forward to bringing them home later this month.

Last week we began to construct our new shed/barn to house the goats and the rabbits in the winter months.  We have gotten a lot accomplished in only a week.  We hope to have the bulk of the building completed this weekend and then we can start on the pens and the fenced in yard.
