Photo Post: More Goats and a Turtle!!!

Buckling number 2, Naveen (bigger than Phil @ 21 lbs!).

Lil' Mr. Phil, who has doubled his weight to 10 lbs! 

The ladies.

A very manly group indeed.

Goatin' around!

Keep him in line, JB!

This is Lady Biddle (Biddy for short). She is a
Western Painted Turtle and we love her.

She is all about a freeze dried shrimp!

Her shell is 7" long and counting!

Photo Post: Nigerian Dwarves!!!!

Tuesday afternoon, Ma n' Pa finally rolled up with our Nigerian Dwarf goat herd! We have 1 of our bucklings (named Philoctetes) and 4 lovely ladies: Begonia, Apple Pie (who may be pregnant!), Raven and her daughter Falene. We have one more little buckling (Naveen) to pick up on Friday. Enjoy the cuteness!

Phil! He had to ride up front b/c the ladies were being protective of the baby, Falene.

Overwhelmed, yet determined.

Confused, but committed to finding the answers. Both feelings I've become well acquainted with over the past few weeks. I've been working on 2 very different, yet connected projects, and have learned a lot, some of which may help others, and further the ideal that this life CAN be for everyone. If a reformed city girl can do this, ANYONE can!

One of the projects I've been working on is "the garden". Let me be perfectly honest and say I am NOT a gardener. I hate to get dirt under my finger nails. I would rather not crawl around outside on the ground, or get mud on my shoes so thick I can hardly keep them on. I rarely enjoy sweating, physical labor is not my strong suit, flying bugs freak me out, I don't care about calculating the size of my flower plots to allow for proper spacing or selecting the proper automatic sprinkler nozzle to ensure adequate irrigation of my vegetable plot.
    

Coming Soon...

Salutations!

If you've stumbled upon us already, you're a bit early! Check back starting June 1, 2012 to stay caught up with the story of Fulton's Folly Farms' three families as they run toward independent living. They include: a mad scientist (Pa Fulton), a doula and Super Mom/Gramma of six and seven respectively (Ma Fulton), a home educator (oldest daughter), a carpenter and craftsman (her husband), a soon-to-be Master Herbalist (middle daughter), a musician and green thumb (her husband), and one pip of an Indigo Child (their daughter), so there is sure to be a point of view to interest everyone!!
