| Iris, Vinca, Rocket |
My Very Occasional Helper was here for 3 hours yesterday,
so together we made a little progress on the barn.
Iris was also a Big Help.
Although I couldn't help feeling that she had questions about the whole idea of turning the airy, spacious barn into four narrow cubicles.
Not exactly cubicles; more like slip stalls.
Rectanguloids?

| "Why? WHYYYY?" |
Lately I've been noticing that tiny Iris has grown.
There have even been a couple of times when she was standing apart from the other goats - so, no frame of reference - I wasn't sure if I was looking at Iris or her brother, the chunky Rocket.

| "Now I am a BIG goat!" |
But then I see her next to an average-size human,
and she immediately becomes tiny again.
Big on personality, though!
That's one thing that hasn't changed since the day she was born.

Iris, is so cute! Her personality shines right on through those pictures. I have an Iris too, although her name wasn't botanically based. Her triplet brother and sister were Kid Flash and Jessie Quick.
ReplyDeleteEven my goat vet, who seems determined to be a brusque curmudgeon 99% of the time, pointed at Iris and said, "Now THAT is a cute goat!" But if she didn't have a sweet nature, it wouldn't matter to me how cute she is :)
DeleteI love goat pictures. Iris has a very expressive face!
ReplyDeleteI think so too :)
DeleteI love her goatonality!!!! She looks very happy. I hope that she loves the remodel. I'm so glad that your helper was over!
ReplyDeleteIt really helps to have someone do the leaning and lifting. Meant I could be functional for three hours instead of one :)
DeleteIris is goat with charm!
ReplyDeleteShe is indeed :)
DeleteIs thst close up of Iris looking winsome going to be a card??? It's a winner.
ReplyDeleteI'll keep it in mind :) Won't be having more cards made until I've sold more of the current supply, though. It was quite an investment. Thanks for the input!
DeleteIris is a cutie! She seems so comfortable hanging out on that board. Did your work eventually pass her inspection?
ReplyDeleteIt was a chore keeping her off the boards long enough to cut them. I probably ought to build them a gym!
DeleteOh my goodness. Seeing tiny Iris was a treat. :) Great pictures.
ReplyDeleteThanks Tammy - I'm glad I had a reason to look back at the pictures from the day they were born, which I haven't looked at in months. Writing for the blog provides unexpected treats for me sometimes :)
Deleteawww - so fun to see Iris as a wee-un again. I think she would win my heart too.
ReplyDeleteIt's very much like puppies: some folks like the rowdy ones best, but I'm a sucker for the sweet ones.
DeleteThinking of you in this cold, cold weather. I hope you and all your animals are doing okay.
ReplyDeleteIt's rather nippy alright! Thanks for thinking of us. I'm heading out to check the bucket de-icers now.
