First, I want to answer a couple questions I realized I missed in the comments.
Have you found out yet if you’re going to be able to get your goats? Yes! We are so happy to report that we are going to get our babies! We are getting two doelings (girls) and one wether (boy, neutered). As a wether, we can keep this baby in with our girls, and next year when we’re able to prepare a second goat enclosure on the farm for a buck (further away from the house), the wether will move in with our buck as his companion. I can hardly wait till we can bring our three babies home to frolic on our farm and meet Coco! We’re waiting for them to be weaned (and for us to finish their enclosure!). Hopefully, we’ll be bringing them home in about a month.
Are you going to name your farm? Yes, we do want to name our farm, but we’ve been having a hard time figuring out what. (Let me know if you have any suggestions!)
If I missed any other questions recently, or if you have a new one, let me know!
And now, for the “backwards comment giveaway” aka Commenter Appreciation Giveaway–every so often, I’ll be randomly poking my finger at the calendar to select a day (since the last giveaway), then inputting the number of comments on that day’s post in Random.org’s Integer Generator to choose the recipient of a $50 Amazon gift certificate. And so I poked my finger, eyes closed, at the calendar and came up with June 4th, which I must say was quite a whiny post. There were 67 comments (as of this writing) on that post, and when I inputted that range online, I came up with:

“The hurrier I go the behinder I get” I don’t know who said that but I repeat it all the time.
That picture is Georgous! I’d be too busy looking at the scenery to do any work. LOL
I think you should take a time out. Sit on the porch swing or one of those rockers with a big glass of iced tea and a good book. Take a little break and breathe. You will feel much better and get a lot more done. Also, delegate. I bet those kids could manage to do some laundry, dusting, and chicken feeding. HaHa That is easy for me to say but never worked very well in real life. Getting my kids to do anything was usually took longer than doing it myself.
Good Luck
Tina L, email me! (There is a Contact Me link at the top of the sidebar.)
I’ll be doing this again. All you have to do is comment on daily posts to be in the drawing. Thank you for being here and for keeping me company!
And now….

What fun you will have when the goats come home with you. Coco will be in heaven! You know, I just love her eyes. So beautiful.
When you can, please make Chevre. It is my favorite cheese of all time, almost. It is also very difficult to find good Chevre, so when we are in France I try to have some everyday. In light of that, maybe Collines Maison du Fromage et Tarte! Way too much, I know. I will keep thinking.

So glad to hear that you are getting your babies. Can’t wait to see pics of them.
Suzanne, I would like to suggest some names for your farm: Cozy Farm, Family Place Farm, Homestead Farm, Grand Porch Farm, Pie Porch Farm. If I think of anymore, I’ll let you know. xxoo

As for the farm name… something relating the farm to your grandparents that farmed nearby. I don’t know their name or remember the name of the community but that would pay tribute to your heritage (one reason you came to W. Virginia, right?)

I like ‘Heaven on a Hill’ and ‘Pie Porch Farm’, but how ’bout ‘Slice of Pie in the Sky’ or ‘Slice of Heaven Pie’?
Thanks for opening your blinds and letting us peek in the window of your life.

I can’t wait to see your goats! Coco is such a sweetheart. I love that photo of her sharing her food with the cat! It certainly didn’t take Coco long to become a full fledged family member.

I’m very jealous of your goat herd! I’ve always wanted goats, but alas, there are too many valuable plants around that you just know they’d eat if/when they got out. I’ll have to live vicariously through you!
