The Grand Finale

I have spared everyone a day-by-day update on each goat kidding. So here are the last two: Lola and Leah (Cookie and Prissy are due later). First up (Friday, January 13). Lola is the “queen” of milking, so we are so excited to get two females from her, and they are even named: Diamond (becauseContinue reading “The Grand Finale”

Narrator Visit: Annette Romano

I always wanted my Circle C series to be available as audio books. It would be fun to listen to them when traveling or walking. Now, all four Circle C series (and two Goldtown) are audio. The youngest series, Circle C Beginnings, was my experiment on Audible. I had no idea what I was doing,Continue reading “Narrator Visit: Annette Romano”

Our (Least) Favorite Things #14-Ranch Animals

You can read other favorites in Andi’s Attic >> Thank you, Lizzy D., for the idea for this delightful post about some “least” favorite animals. 14.

Caught by Surprise

Kristi’s goat, Grace, whom she raised last year on a bottle (because its mom rejected it) is grown up and had her own kid today. A complete surprise, as we thought Grace would not kid until the end of the month. So, here we are on the one beautiful sunny day this week, and allContinue reading “Caught by Surprise”

Here We Go Again!

The “big” dairy goats are dropping their kids in between flooding rain, thunder, and all manner of horrific weather. It was a cloudy but rain-free day today. Do goats know these things? The herd queen, Velvet (100% Toggenburg) for the first time ever (this is her fourth kidding) dropped triplets. Terrible ordeal. Head only, hangingContinue reading “Here We Go Again!”

River Rafting in a Flash Flood

I had to share the latest with the Ross Ranch. We are drowning here in “Andi” country, which makes Family Secret, where Andi nearly drowns in a flooding creek, so real! It could happen just the way I imagined and wrote it. Very scary, those real creeks. Some of them are overflowing even the roadsContinue reading “River Rafting in a Flash Flood”

A Sad, Scary Day

See more Riley’s Ramblings ➡️ This is the back story from “Riley, Proud Papa” in Yosemite at Last, when he is worried about Andi after she has Jared. He tells her a brief sentence or two about his Aunt Sophie. Here is the full story. October 1877, Fort Laramie, Wyoming One month ago, I gotContinue reading “A Sad, Scary Day”

Baby Goats Round Three (& Four)

Part Two I’m adding Mango’s kids to this post from yesterday instead of creating a new post. MANGO kidded this afternoon, and of COURSE Ellie was not there again (and Mango is her goat). Ellie was in town taking her GED test, but her mother and I successfully delivered triplets. (Okay, so that is 13Continue reading “Baby Goats Round Three (& Four)”

Circle C YouTube Channel

I’m excited because once I had 100 subscribers to my YouTube channel, I could change the link name to what I want. So I named the URL CircleCAdventures, of course! (Since the Back to School giveaway, I now have over 250! Yay!) I even figured out how to put up an awesome banner to makeContinue reading “Circle C YouTube Channel”
