Woke this morning to Oreo giving birth. She had a healthy little black boy that Richard named Midnight. We waited around for another, and performed the
bounce test, but I think the little buck is the only one she is going to have. He's big though, like 12 1/2 pounds.

Fairy Dust, the Alpine Boar cross, looks about ready to pop too. But the other Nubian, Bluebell, doesn't look pregnant at all.

And, yesterday, we got our drive way in! That is one of the most exciting things that has happened this week (until this morning and goat baby). It sure seems like we waited extra long for the driveway to go in.

We started moving some nonessential things out there, like the glass we have been collecting here and there for greenhouse windows, or barn windows, or....
We also took the RV all the way to South Fork to get diagnosed. It seems the fridge and the stove work, and most likely the hot water heater too. The furnace, maybe not, and we did not have the water systems tested yet. Unfortunately, a piece got broken on the hot water heater and so the camper gets to stay up there until Saturday when we can go and get it.
We rented a large storage unit in Alamosa for our furniture and boxes of stuff that will not fit in the RV. Our landlords got back to us and it seems if we do not want to do another one year lease, we have until June 1 to vacate. We decided to go for it, and see if we can get our animals moved and ourselves set up in the RV in time. A challenge, most certainly, but an exciting adventure as well.
