To be or not to be~

Way back in February,
which mind you,
is actually late for goats to breed,
our son took our sweet doe,
Tippy,
over to 'be' with a buck
for a couple weeks.

We had wanted to try this a bit
earlier, like November,
but due to circumstances weren't able to.

So, now we wait,
we watch, 
we question,

is she pregnant???

Now, it's hard to know if a goat
is actually pregnant, I've been told.
And, this obviously, is our first attempt to breed her.

Within the last week, though, her sides
'seem' 
to be kind of 'bulging' and they
'seem'
to be getting bigger.
At least they're not getting smaller!

I've heard you can do an ultrasound,
on a goat, (really?)
to see FOR SURE if they are pregnant~
but, alas, that's out of the budget
(and out of the question!)

So, 
we wait,
we watch,
we question...

What do you think?








If you know, please let us know, if this is
to be or not to be ;)

A change of seasons~

Where we live, in our mountain home, the seasons are changing.  Already we have had snow dust the mountains more than once this fall....
