By now you know... we had kids!! Our angora Sky was apparently pregnant!?! This photo was taken the day of their birth 70° weather. Although we have no clue when she actually gave birth, because by the time we found them there was zero evidence of birthing, babies were dry and mama was dry and there was not spot of anything happening in their pen. But the next day we were hit with super cold weather and snow. They have survived so far... and dare I say may be thriving, but I’m having to check in on them every couple hours to get them fed... and make sure no frost bite... because oh boy it’s cold!!!

Well we were surprised today! Nothing seemed out of the ordinary when we checked on the goats this morning and fed the chickens, then we went on with our day till we checked in again around 3:30pm, and behold we had two new kids! We didn’t even realize we were expecting, so this was a HUGE surprise. Sky hasn’t taken well to this little one, we named Juniper, so she’s inside tonight because every time we checked on her she was shivering all by herself. Today the weather was in the high 70° but it’s already dropped too low for the kiddo to survive without mama heat and we are expecting snow soon. I’ll be bottle feeding her for the most part. Send advice and prayers. We left little twin Harriet with her mama, because they have bonded and are always cuddling. Harriet is also twice the size of this little gal. ❤️

A year ago vrs today. It doesn’t look like too much, but we’re proud of what we’ve done with our resources. We’ve planted a little lavender field, which we hope to double this year, we have a 10 tree orchard establishing, and seeded the back pasture with ground cover and pollinator friendly plants. We’ve also rented out a 1/4 acre to an organic farmer who’ll be aiding our mission in cultivating good soil and regenerating the earth. Colorado Winter is such a blessing for Vision building and reflection. Here’s to 2020!

Thank you again to all those that delivered trees! We (I’m speaking for the goaties) are so grateful!

Cesar, the prettiest and most protective rooster there ever was! He’s attacked me a couple times, but it’s only when he think I’ve done his hens wrong. And today was no different. I went to investigate why the chickens weren’t in their coop and I discovered that the door had swung closed. Cesar was disappointed that it took me a couple hours to reopen it for him and his lovely ladies that he let me have it! Over and over again. It was sweet, knowing the protective nature of his heart. (And omg, I thought I was a gonna!)

Thank you to all of you that donated Christmas trees this season. It’s so interesting to watch how they eat them. They start with the bark, and strip the whole tree of bark, then move to the needles. We are officially done with accepting Christmas trees for this season. We hope to see all of you at some of our open days this spring, where you can meet the sweet goaties in person. This picture is of Thomas (who was still in his mamas tummy this time last year) and Storm. ❤️ 🐐 🌲
