the first of this springs babies. the doe mama is Onday. the dark one is a buck. the marked one a little doeling. over the course of the next weeks, 3 more does will kid. the one peeking through into the kidding pen is Amelia.
on the same day that the kids were born, my mother died. she was going to be 96 this year. my brother is holding me to my word to write the obituary. i thought about it all day. and am thinking about it now still. i think we should be required to write out own obituaries, up dating them as time goes along, maybe every 5 years or so???
