Rabid Raccoon?

The farm is full of growing babies and the flowers are blooming and bees are buzzing.  Tomorrow is the annual Alamo Area Beekeeper's Association Field Day where guests will be coming to collect their bees and to learn about all things BEE.  Chloe applied for an apprenticeship and we find out if she received the honor tomorrow at Field Day.  Considering she is very afraid of bees, I'm not sure what they will decide.
Screaming Kitten

This evening I spent some extra time with the baby goats and had a friend over having baby goat cuddle time.  If you've never had cuddle time with a baby goat, you are missing out.  The tiny kittens were not forgotten as we handled them too, much to the dismay of their mom.  As we returned to the house, Chloe informed us she located raccoon scat near the front door and was concerned as it was, "fresh!"  I inspected the scat and tried to figure out if it was, in fact, a raccoon.

Inside, Thadd mentions someone took a roll of toilet paper outside.  LIGHTBULB!!  I walk over to the couch where Brett is watching TV and ask him if he went to the bathroom outside.  He ignores me for a moment and then admits to having been the "raccoon."  DISGUSTING!!  I sat staring at his waste trying to figure out if a raccoon was wandering the property in broad daylight! GROSS GROSS GROSS!!!  Brett has a habit of trying to "show off" when girls come over.  I need for his father to work on the things he does in order to "show off."  Flexing muscles, doing pushups, cleaning your room, and helping around the house are impressive.  Pooping in the yard is NOT impressive.  

A package arrived today in the mail.  It was a shirt for each of  the kids with a goat theme.  A sweet friend of mine felt it was essential to buy the new goat baby family, treats.  She is always so creative and thoughtful.  I can't wait for her and her family to come visit this summer!!

I am thankful for Friday and dinner with friends. (Day 109)  Goodnight Friends.
