My dream for the coming year is that this nightmare of war, disease, poverty, neglect and abuse of the earth and all it’s inhabitants comes to a quick end and Peace, Respect and Love for all will reign.

One can only keep on dreaming and hoping…Irene

This past Weds. we put out the welcome mat and greeted our very first Cold Moon Farm Bed & Breakfast guests. It was an absolutely wonderful visit. They were celebrating their 26th wedding anniversary and they insisted we help them celebrate. They were a delightful, warm and engaging couple and have definitely set the bar for future guests. We thank them for making this a memorable experience. It turned out to be everything I had dreamt it would be.

Looking forward to the future…Irene

Last week Annie met and bred with Jacob, my new goat friend Dottie Cross’s buck. He was in every way a real gentleman. Upon meeting Annie he sniffed her rear, caressed and mewed to her and then gently mounted her and in 2 seconds impregnated her (hopefully). He did this twice and it all took about 4 minutes. Wham, Bang, Done!!

This week it was Sophia’s turn. She met Fin (short for Infinity) Dottie’s teenager buck and boy were his hormones raging. Before we could even get Sophia set he jumped right on top of her which freaked her out. She bolted right out from under him and out of the barn. Which meant Dottie & I had to set about catching her…NOT AN EASY TASK since Fin was also in hot pursuit. Much panting ensued and not from Sophia or Fin. Thank G-d Dottie & I are in such good phsyical shape (do I hear you laughing?) and we succeeded in catching Sophia and returning her to the barn where Fin promptly did his thing..3 times. Someone has to teach goats a thing or two about romance and enjoying the minute.

So my Christmas wish (since it’s after Chanukah I’m imposing on Christmas for my wishing) is to become a Nanny Granny this May. I should know in about three weeks if they are indeed with kids.

Happy Holidays to all…I’m dreamin of a White Christmas and Spring Babies…Irene
