MEEEEEEEEEEEEEH is the sound goats make.

I love food.  I especially love the food here.  My favorite thing right meow is a combo of chevre (goat milk cheese with a cream cheese texture), home made apricot preserves, and toasted homemade bread.  It is heaven for real.  I haven't had many things that were better than that.

Last night for dinner we had nachos with beans, cultured butter that's really just like sour cream, kale and nettles we collected and fresh salsa Vicky made.

Tonight we are going to have pesto with nettles and chickweed I collected and sunflower seeds Hummingbird sprouted.

This morning I had scrambled duck eggs with aforementioned toast.  I really just want to remember all the stuff we eat here, because it's all so amazing.

I NEED TO TAKE PICTURES.

So, this morning I woke up FREEZING, but whatev and I came inside and immediately took a shower.  Before I could finish getting ready, Vicky knocked on the door and  said 'THREE DIRTY TRIPLETS!'  BABIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Finally.  I had missed the two previous births and I KNEW at least one would happen today.  They were so cute!  The scene was a little gruesome, since Lovey (the mama goat) had afterbirth hanging out of her and there were umbilical cords hanging from the babies, who were kinda bloody and wet.  I didn't care.  Vicky handed me a towel and told me to pick one up (the littlest boy) and dry him off.  She cleaned up the biggest one, who was also a boy, and the medium sized one, who was a girl with a really pretty coat that I later got to name Rhonda, after my mom.  I can't tell you how immediately cute they are.  I don't think they get cuter than when they can't walk.  Now we are waiting for the other 13 or 14 girls to give birth and I'm pretty sure all of them give at least 2.  There is at least one goat that is definitely pregnant with triplets.

Things will be getting busier soon, when there are more babies to care for and more milk to be milked and cheese to be made.  Right now, it just consists of feeding everybody and collecting eggs.  And also, doing little projects like fixing fences and what not.

I learned how to use a drop spindle yesterday!  That is super cool.  We have to take the already cut wool, dye it if we want, card it and then take the bat (what the big fluffy piece of wool is called when you take it out of the carder) and pull it into strips and then spin it!  Then you ply it, which is like spinning it into itself kinda...  Thennnn, and only then, may you knit with it!  It's a long process, but I'm going to have the best hat ever.

There is a baby monitor in the kitchen and it's out in the pen near the goats so we can hear when they go into labor.  So, constantly we hear chickens (who roam free EVERYWHERE), the guard dogs barking, and goats coughing like humans.  It's like instead of rain forest sounds or whale calls, it's farm life.  It's pretty hilarious.

I get to follow around my fellow wwoofer Hummingbird like a puppy.  He has been here a couple months now and this is his eighth wwoof farm, so he knows the ropes and teaches me a lot of things about the farm and everything.  I'm so glad that he's so nice and knowledgeable.  He leaves soon, though, which will be sad :[

We have garlic sourdough bread in the oven right now and I'm going to start on the pesto.

SOMEONE SEND ME A BATTERY CHARGER  Thank you.
