Easter

All is ready for the Easter Egg Hunt!
On Easter Sunday, 2011, P&CW Organic Farm again brought goat kids to a church in Nashville to visit. Last year the Nigerian Dwarf goat kids were a hit, especially Graham who was then only hours old, orphaned, and being bottle fed. This year the Boer / Nubian cross kids were a week and two weeks old, respectively, and while they created a stir--those teens and tweens who remembered bottle-feeding last year's kid were sorely disappointed.

 The younger children, though, were enamored with this year's floppy-eared visitors and eagerly interacted with the kids for a time. Stew, Stroganoff, and Chili Pepper were just the right size to be picked up and carried around by little girls. When the kids and children were tired of running about and being stopped to pose for pictures, we packed the kids back into their traveling crates and ferried them home to the farm and to their fretful mommas.

Perhaps we'll plan to hatch chicks to bring next year.
