Half way through kidding season

Here's Louie, Louise's first kid.  She's a great mom and I think I'll keep him a buck, he's got some great conformation.  He's also a nice color.  Both parents have great fleece, so  the chances of him having, and passing on that trait are pretty good.  He's got a good personality, too.
 
  I'm having a hard time getting good pictures of the rest of them  Luna gets the prize for the most colorful kids so far.  The only problem is, they are hard to get a picture of since they are usually in hiding.  At least when I have the camera with me.  When I don't have the camera, they are all over the place.  Isn't that the way it always goes.? :-)
  Carmen, the one pictured below, is Fancy's first kid.  Her white spot looks like a flower and stem, kind of like one of the Ravelry members' ravatar picture. :-)  You know who you are?
   Carmen was really giving Louie a hard time yesterday.  She wouldn't let him in the little kid house they have.  They were really having a little argument, seriously butting heads.  It was pretty cute to watch them.  The looks in their eyes, they were really glaring at each other!  She has a pretty dominant personality already.  Kind of like her grandma Celeste.  

  We woke up to 8 inches of snow this morning!!  It was down to 21 degrees, too.  I'm kind of glad it did snow.  It protected the flowers that are blooming and the ones that are coming up.  It's a good amount of moisture, too, which is always good.  We've had a pretty mild winter without a huge amount of snow here.  The higher mountains around us got their normal to slightly above normal amount, but we only had about a foot on the ground most of the season.  It was nice, enough to look like winter, but not enough to be a total pain to deal with.  The temperatures weren't bad, either.
  The kids weren't too sure about all the snow.  They all stayed in their houses till the adults had the snow all trampled down.  They still aren't coming out very much.  The chickens are laying low, too.  All twelve hens laid an egg yesterday!  That is the first time they've done that.  Usually I get between 7 and 11 eggs a day.  There is one that is laying a green egg every once in a while.  I think I've found 8 so far.  They are all good eggs, just a different color.  Not sure why or how that is happening, but it's interesting, anyway.  I have 10 silver laced wyandottes, and 2 golden wyandottes.
 
  I'm washing some fleeces today and crocheting a new scarf.  Good inside things, since it's not conducive to being outside today.  I was making good progress on getting the spring clean up done and the deer fence is all up.  No deer for over a week now.  I just might end up with a full freezer of veggies yet!
   I've dehaired one fleece so far.  I started combing the goats earlier than usual, getting fewer guard hairs in it, but they weren't totally letting go of their fleece, so I'm having to re-do a lot of them.  I think I'll just wait till they are really starting to let loose next year.  I think I lose about the same amount of fiber either way.  So the dehairing is getting a slower start than I was anticipating.

  Well, that's it for now.  I'll try and get some more pictures up soon....
