The Carrots Survived But Not Much Else

It got C.O.L.D!
Colder than it has been this early in a long, long time.
Almost everything in the garden was all wilty and sad.
BUT the carrots survived.

The publicist took some in to put into some soup she was canning.
You know what that meant
CARROT GREENS.
Mmmmmm.

We all enjoyed them.
AbbyGoat was a bit of a piggie.
Of course.

Alex the goat was not sure at first.
This is his first time tasting them
Unlike the corn husks he did like carrot greens.
Thelma stole some right out of his mouth!
So much for nannerly love!

Louise had her fair share.
She had kid(s) to feed.
(News on that very soon!)

And of course the publicist made sure to feed Bernadette.
Those goats are still being mean to her.

My studmuffin got some too.
There is nothing like watching Luke the goat eat greens.
I'm a happy doe.

Wordless Wednesday - Mmmrph

AbbyDay - The Joys of NannyHood

It's AbbyDay, the best day of the week. I am the best goat in the world so I am of course, the best nanny in the world.

As you all know by now this is a goat's favorite time of year.
We gets lots and lots and lots and LOTS of treats from the male person's garden.

I REALLY enjoy those treats.
Treats like carrot greens.
Mmmmm, carrot greens.

But even better than eating them maaaself is introducing these tasty nibbles to my kids for the first time.

Sometimes they are not so sure about new foods.
I'm sure all of you human moms out there know how kids can be!

But then when they actually TASTE the new food - magic happens!
Not to mention cute!
Rudy the goat looks adorable with carrot greens in his mouth if I do maaa so maaaself!

They soon started munching away on their new treat.
Rudy did seem to like them more than Ricky but they both did eat them.

I got silly with them to show them that food can be fun.
What?!
I can be silly!

All in all I think my kids are the best!
Don't all nannies?

Wordless Wednesday - MmmNomMmmNommmm

Saturday Movies with the Happy Goats

I have a movie for you today. It is from when we were enjoying our carrot greens!
Mmmmm, carrot greens.
It has an appearance by Flash.
There are several movies left for me to show you that have Flash in them so you will still get to see his little face.



If you cannot see the movie you can view it on YouTube HERE.

I hope you enjoyed this movie.
It seems the publicist is going to be bruised until Jim goes to HIS Farm in September.
heh

The Male Person is a Good Gardener

And I am glad of it!
Every year he grows good stuff in his garden and WE get to feast.

Right now we are munching on yummy carrot greens.

I LOVE carrot greens!
So does my studmuffin...

And he looks so cute while he is eating them.
Don't you think?

He really enjoys his greens.
He digs in with gusto!

Yes, my love?
Gotta got - somegoat is maaaaaing my name!
See you on Monday....

AbbyDay - I Dance with Joy for Carrot Tops

I am sure you are all probably tired of hearing about our carrot top eating orgy.
But we goats LOVE our carrot tops.

As Pricilla mentioned in previous blog posts the publicist gave us each our OWN pile of carrot tops. This prevented some of the shoving and butting that sometimes went on with treats around this Farm.'
Not that I would ever have butt anygoat out of the way for a treat.

Not me!

I just went right up and took a big bite out of my pile of carrot tops.

Mmm, they are mighty tasty if I do say so myself.
You humans do not know what you are missing.

I just spent my time enjoying the fresh green taste and contemplating life

I thought I heard someone sneaking up on me.

But I was wrong, it was just the wind.
So I went back to enjoying my yummies.

I thank the male person for growing such good things!

I want to say for ALL of us goats that we would never, NEVER eat a redheaded person.
EVER.

We just like the green parts on top of the carrots.

Sarah and Nora

Sometimes I am a very baaaad reporter.
I forget to tell you about some of the goats on the Farm.
It is not because I don't like them, it is mostly because they are good goats and don't cause any problems.

Sarah and Nora just run and play with the herd and they don't butt me out of the way like Mallory.
They aren't a cute little kid like Marion.
And they aren't Abby. NO goat is Abby.


Sarah will be getting more time on the blog when she has her kids in October but I thought it would be nice to write about them today.


After i enjoyed my carrot tops the publicist let the other goats have some too.
This was the very first time that Sarah and Nora had ever had carrot tops!


Sarah gave them a bit of a sniff 

Then she dug right in!

Nora found that she liked them very much too!

They each had their own special pile so there was no butting!

Nora is a bit shy around the camera so it is hard for the publicist to get a good shot.

Although I have to admit it is hard to look good with your mouth full of food.

Carrot tops are quite yummy as I am sure you have all figured out.

Mmmmm, I Enjoy My Carrot Tops in Peace

I know a goat shouldn't blog with her mouth full...

But I have to tell you how nice the publicist was to me!
She let me eat my carrot tops before all the other goats!
Wasn't that sweet?

She knows I am getting a bit old now and I can't fight them off like I used to.
Heh heh
Little does she know I just put on an act so I get special treatment.
Don't tell her, OK?
It will be our secret!

This way I got to eat my carrot tops in peace.
I could stand and enjoy each dainty little nibble.

I could rest my stomachs.

I could really relish my treat.

I know it is not lady like at all to have greens coming out of my mouth like this but
carrot tops are just SO tasty!

It wasn't long before the other goats came roaring in for their treat.
I know I can't have them ALL....

Or can I?
That would be very selfish of me though and I am not a selfish goat.
Most of the time.

I will have to ruminate on this.
I will let you know on Thursday what I decided.
 

Luke the Goat Keeps Watch Even While Eating Carrot Tops

I thought it was time my studmuffin has some time on the blog.
I don't show him much I know.
I like to keep him to myself.

I am sure all you human women out there understand this.
But he is such a good billy goat.
He takes care of all of us.

Even when he is eating his treat of carrot tops he is keeping watch to make sure that nothing is going to hurt us does.

Just look!
First he gives his carrot tops a good sniff. And a taste test.

They sure do smell good!

But even as he is busy enjoying their fresh flavor...

He looks one way

And then the other
 To keep his eyes on what is going on around the Farm.
He doesn't miss a trick!

Or a carrot top!

The Publicist is Very Busy

The publicist has been very busy with produce from the garden.
This means she has not been spending much time with us goats.
Can you imagine such a thing?

On the other hand we are getting lots of yummy treats.
Like carrot tops.
Mmmm, carrot tops.

I will have lots more photos to show you.
The publicist hasn't had time to let me use the computer so you will have to settle for this one...

I love carrot tops!

Shhhhhhhh! It's Me, Harry!

Don't tell anyone but I snuck in the trailer early so I could steal my mommy's day on the blog. I know she isn't going to be happy when she finds out - she will butt me I am sure -  but I think it's time that the kids are heard from around here. 

I also have a BIIIIIIIIIIG secret to tell. Ha ha ha!

Remember the pictures of Pricilla stuffing her face with carrot greens? She thought it was my mommy that called the paparazzi on her BUT IT WAS ME! 

That's right, me! 

I thought she looked so funny eating those carrot greens I got my chickenagent Blue Guy to contact the paparazzi to come take the photos.  This is how I did it:


Everyone thought I was innocently eating my carrot greens up on the spool. And I WAS eating the greens; I was just waiting for Blue Guy to get close enough so I could talk to him.

Boy, those carrot greens ARE good.  Nom, nom, nom!

Oh, I am getting away from my story. Blue Guy came over to get his instructions. I checked to make sure no one would see us talking.

Then I gave him the scoop.

He bowed down to tell me he knew what to do. Or he was eating something, I am not so sure. Either way he did get the job done.

 And then I leapt for joy! Knowing that I had fooled everyone in the goat pen. Even my mommy. Hahahahahaha!

 After that I just went to sleep in my carrot top pile knowing that the readers of the blog would have a happy post with great pictures.

 You are welcome!

Tomorrow: Corn! 

The Big Boys Get Some Treats

As you have seen in the last few days we goats over in the doe pen have been getting some yummy treats from the male person's garden. We have had beet greens and carrot tops and they were delicious. We also had leaves from the brussels sprouts but you did not see that nomming. Maybe you will someday but I might keep those photos a secret as the paparazzi seem to like to show me being a piggie goat and I don't like it. I still think it was Abby that sold me out!

But on to the bucks. They also get to eat treats from the garden too. The publicist just has a harder time getting photos of them. But I begged her to get me some new pictures of the love of my life, Luke and she couldn't say no to me. She is very nice to me like that....so she risked her dignity and went into the buck pen to show you how the boys enjoy their treats. And I get to stare a Luke. Am I a lucky doe or what?

Here is Michael enjoying some of those delicious carrot tops that I indulged in myself. He does look a bit threatening in this photo, doesn't he. I am going to have to have a talk with my kid about how he treats the publicist.

Luke (isn't he just the HANDSOMEST!?!) wasn't as enamoured of the carrot tops as the rest of us. He gave them a sniff but that was about it. 

Michael REALLY made out on carrot top day.

Aaaah, but my cutie pie enjoyed the brussels sprouts leaves. He tore into them and truly enjoyed that treat!

 

How could anyone resist that face? HI LUKE YOU GORGEOUS GOAT YOU.

 Michael made sure to give them a good sniff first.

And then he chomped them right up!

 Of course I will end this post with a photo of my love...what else would you expect?

Oooooh Luuuuke...we have a date for the Rhumba in December. Be sure to mark it on your calendar!

I hope you all enjoyed seeing the big boys today. I really don't write about them enough.

Tomorrow is AbbyDay and as you know on AbbyDay ANYTHING is possible!

Be sure to check out the publicist's blog - she is giving away 2 sets of 500 Business Cards!
