http://marlamoo.multiply.com/ We'll be posting day to day fun we're having on the farm and any new pictures that we just have to share. We'd also like to invite those who've visited our farm to tell us about their experience here. To visit our main website, see the links section at the bottom of the page. Enjoy!<BR>Marla Sat, 17 May 2008 04:07:53 -0000 Fri, 16 May 2008 10:43:00 -0000 http://images.marlamoo.multiply.com/logo http://marlamoo.multiply.com 100 100 <P>We're almost cleaned up from winter and really ready for visitors! I need to take a break from cleaning though. The vet was supposed to come out yesterday, he showed up but then realized that all of his vaccines were left at the previous farm. I'm the furthest away from his office, so I always am the last visit. It ook me 3 months to get this appointment and now I have to wait for him to come back. UGH!</P> <P>Sorry, but sometimes it's a bit frustratiing waiting to get the vet here and having it fall through.</P> <P>But the farm is looking better every day and it should be a fun year with dome of the things we have planned for visitors.</P> <P>M</P> http://marlamoo.multiply.com/journal/item/16/Almost_ready Fri, 16 May 2008 10:43:00 -0000 Here are a few of the toys we keep out for the goats. Here's a helpful hint. You don't have to make new toys all the time, just move one from one place to another and it becomes a whole new toy! I didn't get pics of the rock piles. But those are the easiest to move and change for all new http://marlamoo.multiply.com/photos/album/11/Goat_Toys Thu, 8 May 2008 14:08:31 -0000 We will be at the Littleton Farmers Market again this year. Featuring all of our goat milk bath and body products. The farm will still be open during these http://marlamoo.multiply.com/calendar/item/10002/Littleton_Farmers_Market Wed, 7 May 2008 12:14:35 -0000 Yesterday was quite a busy day. We started the day with 5 kids on the ground and ended up with 9 kids on the ground. That's right, two sets of twin bucks. And they're gorgeous of course! Lots of blue eyes and different bloodlines. I'll be posting pictures of them later today. One more doe to kid the first week of June and we're done for the season. http://marlamoo.multiply.com/journal/item/15/Whew_Busy_day Sun, 4 May 2008 13:01:00 -0000 We're very happy to announce the arrival of our carting goats Dannie and Dunnie. They're very big boys and have the best personalities ever! They're very sweet, even when confronted by one of my bossier does. We're going to hook them uo today and give them a whirl in the driveway so we can all learn each others quirks. I'll post pictures of them driving soon. They can drive as a team, but we only have one harness right now. We have to sell a few critters and we'll get another harness. http://marlamoo.multiply.com/photos/album/10/Cart_Goats Mon, 21 Apr 2008 12:37:35 -0000 <P>Our cart goats arrived safe and sound at 2 am. They're big boys named Dannie and Dunnie. Even after being on the trailer from OH, they clipped to a lead and walked right off the trailer no problems. Of course our two dairy girls had to check out the boys that are the same size as them...lol We'll see how the fainters like checking them out today. I hope the holding pen fence is high enough for these guys.We should be carting in no time. Pictures to follow.</P> <P>Have the best of days, M</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> http://marlamoo.multiply.com/journal/item/14/Cart_Goats Sun, 20 Apr 2008 11:16:00 -0000 Our kids have started arriving! Woke up at 3:30 this morning to funny sounds on the baby monitor. Well, sure enough! Ruthie decided to have her kids, twin does weighing in at 6 lbs each. One is apricot and white and the other is mostly brown, with some black and a white splash and frosted ears. No names http://marlamoo.multiply.com/journal/item/13/2008_Kids Mon, 14 Apr 2008 17:42:00 -0000 Our kids have started to http://marlamoo.multiply.com/photos/album/9/2008_Kids Mon, 14 Apr 2008 17:40:44 -0000 <P>It's going to be a beautiful day today! Woke up in the 20's but promises to get into the 50's and stuff is melting at a rapid pace now. Good thing too, as hay is getting hard to find and it'll be at least 2 months before the hay men are able to cut and bale. The girls are all getting rather plump and miserable. Poor Ruthie looks like she's going to pop. She's due on the 19th, but I'm predicting the 14th. And of course it's supposed to rain for 8 straight days around then. I've begun the awful spring task of cleaning up outside. I have a mantra now...." the pitch fork is my friend" and I say it over and over as I move wet heavy, sometimes frozen piles of hay and poop from the goat pens. But it's worth it, because once it's cleaned up and the ground dries, it'll be beautiful out there and we'll have kids running and playing on all of the toys that have been buried in snow for the last 6 months. Well, y'all have the very best of days!</P> <P>M</P> http://marlamoo.multiply.com/journal/item/12/Sunny_Days Tue, 8 Apr 2008 12:19:00 -0000 <P>We have snow again today, but it's warmer and spring is in the air! We start kidding in a couple of weeks and I need to build a few more kidding pens and mend some fences that didn't do to well this winter. I can't wait for babies, I need something to look forward to besides all the spring clean up....ugh!</P> <P>M</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> http://marlamoo.multiply.com/journal/item/11/Howdy Fri, 4 Apr 2008 14:38:00 -0000 In a week or so, we'll be adding a new lip balm flavor, Cherry Vanilla! And we're also adding 3 new heavy cream products. 1. Goat Milk Vapor-Rub/ Muscle Rub (I don't know what to call it yet) 2. Coco Butter for super moisturizing properties. 3. And Jewel-weed Cream for the relief of dry itchy skin caused by poison ivy, bug bites, burns etc. (don't have a name for this yet http://marlamoo.multiply.com/reviews/item/3 Mon, 31 Mar 2008 12:27:53 -0000 <P>Well it looks like we're finally going to get a break in the weather and start to thaw out! After tonight that is. We're actually supposed to be in the 50's tomorrow! I saw my first robins of the season! It wasn't here at home, but I know they're in&nbsp;the area! Have to build a couple more kidding pens., since we made changes to&nbsp;the "barn" and only have one now. We start kidding in a few weeks. </P> <P>I've been brushing all the goats out and looks like I'll have a pretty good cashmere crop this year. So I should be able to make a few more adopt a goats for a 2008 series.</P> <P>Our oldest son, started on a new job and has to leave pretty early. Well, now the dogs want to get up and go out at 4 am. I'm so tired from the new schedule. It's like having a baby in the house and the schedule changes all&nbsp;the time.</P> <P>Everything's looking up. Just looking forward to cleaning and building and fixing. The usual spring chores.</P> <P>Y'all have the very best of days! M</P> http://marlamoo.multiply.com/journal/item/9/Another_Day_in_Paradise Mon, 31 Mar 2008 12:07:00 -0000 <P>Well, winter may never end. Although it's warmer today, in the 30's already. But the wind is blowing pretty good so it doesn't feel very nice. Oh and did I mention it's snowing? Today's prediction is for snow, ice and rain. Just means mother nature is determined that I slip and break something before this is all over. </P> <P>We're due to start kidding in about 4 weeks. We'll still have alot of snow and ice on the ground for sure. I'm guessing that the bigger snow banks (ice now) will not completely melt until we're into June. I might have to push kidding back to May if this keeps up. Or build a heated barn, and you know that's not going to happen....lol</P> <P>Well, have a great day and remember, there's no where to go but up!</P> <P>Marla</P> http://marlamoo.multiply.com/journal/item/8/More_weather Wed, 19 Mar 2008 11:32:00 -0000 <P>I spent the better part of 2 weeks rebuilding the website in a new program (not fun). The new program wasn't fun to learn but the website is awesome! So take a look when you get a chance. <A href="http://www.wonderfallfarm.com">www.wonderfallfarm.com</A></P> <P>Spent the morning cleaning out both barns down to the wood. We did have to take the pick to a few places to chip away at some stubborn ice. Did I mention that the ice in most places is over 1 foot thick? We'll be spring cleaning the outside pens until June at this rate. One layer at a time as the weather permits. Looks like this will be the second year that we'll have snow and ice on the ground when kids arrive.</P> <P>Have the best of days!</P> <P>Marla</P> http://marlamoo.multiply.com/journal/item/7/New_Website Sun, 16 Mar 2008 18:06:00 -0000 <P><IMG src="http://images.multiply.com/common/smiles/teeth.png">&nbsp; Well, it's pretty much looking like spring here. Meaning that even though it's still snowing, the temps have come up and birds are singing. I haven't seen a robin yet but I know I will!</P> <P>Marla</P> http://marlamoo.multiply.com/journal/item/6/Spring_is_almost_here Sat, 15 Mar 2008 13:05:00 -0000 What our customers say about our farm made goat milk products. I love the lotion! Goes on smooth and is not greasy feeling at all. My favorite is cranberry! Will be getting more and trying the other products! The shampoo is the best! It makes my hair feel cleaner than any other shampoo I've ever tried! I also tried the spray mist. I used it on my hair to control winter fly aways and also over my make up as a facial moisturizer and it's awesome! Will be back again and again! Thank you, Kathy Marla, I got the goat milk lotion and soap for Christmas and it's the best I've ever used. I just got the order I placed with you and absolutely love the lip balm! I used the heavy cream on my elbows and feet at night and what a difference. It really helped with winter feet caused by wool socks. WIll be shopping her all the time. Your best customer, Jenny I got the liquid goat milk soap to try to get rid of the buck smell on my hands. You were right! It worked. I've never found anything ... http://marlamoo.multiply.com/reviews/item/2 Sun, 9 Mar 2008 18:33:38 -0000 http://marlamoo.multiply.com/video/item/9/Ida_Mae_faint_video Sat, 8 Mar 2008 14:15:44 -0000 Some of our goats http://marlamoo.multiply.com/photos/album/8/Fainting_goat_photos Sat, 8 Mar 2008 14:02:46 -0000 Was watching the does this morning and they had visitors. These ravens were not afraid of the goats at all. They just wanted some hay to start their spring nests with. We're calling them Heckle and Jeckle. They've been nesting in our woods for a few years and come for nesting materials every http://marlamoo.multiply.com/photos/album/7/Wild_Farm_Visitors Sat, 1 Mar 2008 16:30:06 -0000 <P>Woke up yesterday to 50 degrees&nbsp;and rain. Where most people would love that after an awful winter, we did not! Why? You ask? Because after being in the single digits and snowing the whole weekend, I may have woken up to warmer weather, but also to a solid sheet of ice.</P> <P>I had to carry a bag of&nbsp; snow melt and throw it in front of me all the way to the barn to get there without falling on my behind. </P> <P>Well, I've added a video I took today of my oldest sin ice skating on our driveway so y;all could see it.</P> <P>I'm sure spring isn't too far away.....I've heard some spring birds out there somewhere.</P> <P>Marla</P> http://marlamoo.multiply.com/journal/item/5/Our_weather_is_crap Wed, 20 Feb 2008 00:04:00 -0000 Woke up to -10 this morning. And we're supposed to get another snow storm today with accumulating snow. Anyine want some?
