Trick Question

Yesterday's farm puzzle has turned out to be a trick question. For, in fact, the baby goats can also escape from baby pen B. Dang! So all the babies got penned back in the shed. Ok, fine, it was starting to drizzle anyway.

Today, I planned to rotate out the two baby groups half way through the day in baby pen A. Before the second rotation, Sage and Petunia escaped said pen. I'm still confused as to how. I still firmly refuse to be out stubborned by goats, so tomorrow Rosie and Scarlet get to go to baby pen A for a while, and I'll rotate the others out as needed.

Whew! This is getting tedious and I'm still only getting about a cup of milk from Rosie in the evenings. She's getting more comfortable with the arrangement though and will stand rather patiently and nibble her grain. As she relaxes she lets down a little more milk each time.

We have sprouts now! Today I saw beets and both types of peas peeking out of the ground. I didn't look real close since this was during the nightly rounds, so I'm hoping to see lettuce tomorrow, too.

Spring official starts this weekend and it certainly is beginning to look like spring around here, too. Fun and busy time to be farming!
