About a month ago, I called Peg into the living room because I was watching a mama deer with three babies. Of course, she missed out on seeing them at that time. Finally, one evening last week, Peg was able to see that there were indeed three babies. When I checked with our neighbors a couple days, they said they had seen the mama with the triplets and that they bedded down in the woods near them. Yeah!!! Triplets are a first for us. We've seen lots of deer with twins, but triplets are a first!!! I will say they are about half the size of a regular fawn at this time of year. I worry that their mama will have trouble keeping everyone fed. So far, so good!!
Raquel had a little bull a couple days ago. He's a cutie and we've named him Blaze. Now we are waiting on Rosie. She looks like she is going to pop, so it'll be anytime now. Lance's first progeny are being weened. They and their mamas are pretty noisy. The neighbor texted me asking if there was a problem over here because they were making so much noise. We're into day four and things have quieted down. It's always pretty tough on "everybody" going through this process.
We've gotten 2.9 inches of rain in the last 4-5 days and we're suppose to get more. It's in the eighties and everything is green!!! Strange July weather! Farmers are worried about corn still out in the fields!!!
