The day started out rainy but did clear up a bit later in the afternoon. The little lamb Patience died this morning. Evidently she had something wrong with her that we could just not cure.

Dusty went to get feed and silage for the day and then hurried to get ready for a barrel race east of here. Flash has not been ridden in several days due to the weather and has been up in her stall so she will be ready to go. He will probably not be back until early in the morning.

I fixed a pot of homemade chicken soup and a chocolate cake for supper tonight. At least that will be done.

Feeding went well although it was so muddy that you could barely stand up on level ground much less any slopes.

We had a surprise when Donny went to the barn later in the evening. One of the goats that did not even look bred had a doe kid. She was so tiny but was standing up and moving around. The mama is a first timer but seems to know what to do. We put them in a stall to get acquainted but I am a little worried about the size of the baby.
