Today Mike took off work, and worked.

This morning began with a visit from the vet. She confirmed that Confetti is indeed pregnant and will have the cria at the end of this month. She's due 4/28-5/1. Unfortunately, Starr is not pregnant after all. We'll try again next month and wait a year to see what happens!

After the vet check, the girls enjoyed some free time in their grazing pasture.

Then, because THE PLAN has failed, we put up a permanent gate for the barn.

Here are Peridot and Emerald showing off the new gate.And I worked at preparing the back field for the animals. There were some tall weeds left from last year, so we rigged up a piece of chain link fence to drag behind the tractor. I love driving the tractor.

The back field nice and flat.And Morgan got to help as well. She worked the bucket to help pull up some old T-posts.

What a great work day! Lots accomplished and tired kids!
