Another snowday!

The school children may all be delighted to have yet another day off due to snow, but for those who have to clean up after it, not so much fun!  The Goatfarmer will be out most of the day clearing the paths to the barns, making sure water tubs are free of ice, and that the goats can all get to their feedbunk.  But aside from all of that, there is still cause for happiness....most of all, as the Goatfarmer's wife, I'm happy we decided to put off our kidding season until April this year!  Next week's forecast is for extremely cold weather, below zero nights, and single-digit days...  I'm especially happy to know we won't be spending those nights in the barn, watching for does to kid and setting up heatlamps to warm newborns!  Yes, sometimes the decisions we make months in advance turn out to be just right!  So for now, I'll enjoy playing with the grandchildren in the new snow by day, and staying in by a warm fire at night!
