Another Day on the Ranch

The weather here has still been a little on the stormy side, but today was pretty nice.  I tried riding, but my young horse decided she would do everything that I didn't want her to.  So it was frustrating.  But she is getting slick and pretty!
Paradise all slick and shiny.

 
Yesterday was the first day that I milked my goat and was able to keep the milk to drink!  It was fun to do so, especially after a long wait for her to have kids and milk.
The fist jar of milk to drink!

Now, we are working on our garden.  Hopefully we will get a nice crop this year, even though we are in a drought.  This year we are trying something new; instead of planting in the ground, we will be planting in some black tubs which are put in the ground.  So, we'll see how it works out.

Two of my female pigeons, Pigeon (top) and Plum (bottom).
Also, (this might be weird to some of you) but today we welcomed to the world, a baby pigeon!  I had been patiently awaiting for something to happen to the four pigeon eggs being sat on.  And the day finally came.  Now we will see if the other three eggs hatch or not.  The whole process took eighteen days and now I will get to enjoy the new pigeon.  I will probably name it Little White Dove or Running Bear.  But who knows, I might think of some other name before the pigeon gets its wings, and feathers.  I would put pictures, but my pigeon, George, and Big J.'s, Ralph, are always sitting on the little one.  Makes it hard to get pictures, for sure.  And it will take a while for it to get pretty; it just has skin and a few yellow hairs.  Ugly to most people.

Sadly, I can't write about any rain because we have had none.  We just have the wind and dirt.

So, that about ends this post.  We just go enjoy the night by sleeping outside!  : )
