Daily Farmhouse Journal

Clover and I could use some help.





We need to get our baby girl named so her papers can be processed. We made another trip to the goat farm to contemplate the situation.

Princess got into the spirit of things and hauled a bale of hay out to the barn with the goat lady.





She’s going to make a good farmer, don’t you think?





Me? I was taking pictures. Or I totally would have been carrying some hay, too. You know I would have.

This is the proud papa of Clover’s babies, by the way. His name is Champ. Clover liked him real well at first then he started drinking and staying out all night, seeing other women, so they’re through.





Clover’s babies were born July 3. The doeling is the one with the white top knot. They were two days old when this picture was taken.





Here they are again at about a week and a half old.





So what do you think? Nutmeg, Clarabelle, Penny, Taffy, or Cookie? Vote! And if you have an idea for the buckling’s name, suggest it in the comments. We’ll need to figure that out next!

UPDATE: I think the poll is working now. (I was having trouble with it earlier and had to take it out temporarily.) Or just vote in the comments, if you prefer! Thanks!


Name That Doeling!
