Decent weather and the goat babies ever funner. I have left all my winter clothes behind now. Except the snow pants. I like the pockets. So I&#8217;m hanging on to them until the temperatures go up another notch. But I feel so much lighter without all the wool. And my back feels better when I&#8217;m not wearing my winter coat. I don&#8217;t know what it is about it, maybe it gives me bad posture. But my back aches a lot less in my lighter jacket.<\/p>\n<p>On the goat front there has, as previously stated, been fun with the babies. They are so outgoing and delightful. It seems Medium has outgrown his shyness. He&#8217;s the one who is happiest to climb around on people and nibble at everything now. And he&#8217;s taking on all the bigger goats, nudging heads with them. He went on for 10 minutes with Bob, it was quite the sight. Not backing down unless he was forcefully pushed back. He&#8217;s a little troublemaker he is! They are both adorably cute.<\/p>\n<p>And the goats got a new house! A little playhouse. I helped lift it into the pen. It was fun seeing the goats check it out. Hopefully they will have some fun with it. Maybe I can climb inside to take cover if it starts raining.. although, I&#8217;ll probably have to lose a little more weight first. Ahem. Working out in the warmer weather is wonderful. Www dot wonderful dot com. I can&#8217;t wait for summer to come. But it&#8217;s pretty good already. Feels like spring.<\/p>\n<p>Now on with the pictures. There are some shots I really like this time. Fancy that.<\/p>\n<p><a HREF=\"http:\/\/plume.dk\/pics\/displayimage.php?pos=-6028\"><img WIDTH=450  SRC=\"..\/pictures\/thumbs\/2010-present\/130422_medium_th.jpg\"\/><\/a><br \/>Medium looking funny!<\/p>\n<p><a HREF=\"http:\/\/plume.dk\/pics\/displayimage.php?pos=-6029\"><img WIDTH=450  SRC=\"..\/pictures\/thumbs\/2010-present\/130422_mia_th.jpg\"\/><\/a><br \/>Mia found herself a nice spot to sit there.<\/p>\n<p><a HREF=\"http:\/\/plume.dk\/pics\/displayimage.php?pos=-6030\"><img WIDTH=450  SRC=\"..\/pictures\/thumbs\/2010-present\/130422_miame_th.jpg\"\/><\/a><br \/>She&#8217;s almost too big to jump on my back now, but she still tries whenever there&#8217;s a chance.<\/p>\n<p><a HREF=\"http:\/\/plume.dk\/pics\/displayimage.php?pos=-6031\"><img WIDTH=450  SRC=\"..\/pictures\/thumbs\/2010-present\/130422_miawheelbarrow_th.jpg\"\/><\/a><br \/>And there she is digging in the wheelbarrow, Mia. Once the big goats had emptied out most of the hay in there the babies jumped up and decided to sit in it. Adorable.

Lots of cute stuff with the babies. Medium jumping on my back and nudging heads with the big goats.I can&#8217;t remember seeing a kid so eager to duel with the big boys before. I had to cut some of his duel with Bob because it just went on for too long.<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/eti1PtjGYsE?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n<p>And Thursday. Medium still trying to have a go at Bob. And the new playhouse for the goats. They went to the far side of the pen and kept a suspicious watch while the house was set up. And then they slowly came over to investigate. The babies came over first, and they probably would have gone inside if it hadn&#8217;t been for the all the commotion the human kids were making. But eventually Mia was the first one to go inside. And Bob followed soon enough, if for nothing else than to get Mia to get out again. Always has to show who is the boss! I&#8217;m glad the goats have something new to interact with. Hopefully they will like it. There&#8217;s a wooden board on one side of the slanty roof so they should be able to jump up and stand there too, with a little luck. We&#8217;ll see if they dare.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zvqcIbQ-QlU?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>And that&#8217;s all for this time.
