Goats Come to Welcome Farm

This evening I had the wonderful opportunity to visit with Paula of Welcome Farm to meet her latest additions - goats!  There are also llama and chickens so far at Welcome Farm and they are about to have sheep wonder on to the farm in the next week or so.  Our friend Bob had also dropped by so the three of us visited while Paula milked Reki (photo above - I will need to verify the spelling).  I even got to try my hand at milking...literally.  The last time I remember being near goats and possibly being involved in the milking was when I was about 8 or so and my dad took me to the Crispin's farm for a horse ride and we had a chance to see the farm and enjoy some of the labors of the farm - fresh eggs for breakfast, goat's milk to drink, etc.  I should have known my destiny back then....

Now, meet the rest of Paula's "herd"

It was a beautiful evening and wonderful to spend time with friends.
