Washingtonians Come Together! Washington Peeps

Pics of my favorite Orchid, been in bloom about a month and a half now..............








Tried it in different light, it is vibrant purples and hot pinks...and has about 8 blooms on the spike, 4 on each side... this one lives in the downstairs bath...and so loves the steam & coolness there.
I think I have about 20 orchids now, and am NOT gonna get anymore !

Oh, and we are getting an order of Toulouse Goslings....10 of the buggers.
About May 8th I think it is...............

So I may have a few extras to sell.
I only wanted about 5 or 6.....

I am so tired of mowing & weed wacking and this is a win-win since they are excellent for Christmas feast AND like it


RAINS SO MUCH HERE...............right ?
How can we ever mow the grass when it never stops raining ???????
I thought the grass was about ankle high til I walked out there & it is really crotch high !!!!

I'm pretty sure 4 out of 5 of these hatchlings are Roos! They will need a new home soon. They are all from Alchemist Farm, 4-5 weeks old right now. Rehoming fee $15. I'm keeping the black copper marans pullet

1 welsummer x cream legbar (sage egger, has a crest!)
1 black legbar x marinas (olive egger, crested)
1 dark blue legbar x marans (olive egger, created)
1 splash marans (purebred! Feathered legs! Hatched out silver!)

Raised on scratch and peck and manna pro chick feed, indoors, will be moved outside into the shed next weekend under a heat lamp until they can withstand oregon spring night!

Local pickup only - Portland, OR. I'm willing to drop off within 1-2 hours of Portland to a good situation.

New goaties....





Cowgirl Tough (L) and St Helen's Annabelle (R)

Cowgirl



Annie



The new house


upper yard

Looks funny huh ?

So now you know some of what I have been doing lately...............
Annie is the follower...scared & hides behind Cowgirl.
We drove to Yakima to get them from @pettec63 and ever since, have spent time wooing them, as they were quite frightened of any other humans besides their Mommie Julie.

They are half registered Boer, half Boer half Nubian, a mix I like.
Once they are used to us, they can be let out into the area with no electric fencing, providing they stay off the car, LOL

so what brought you to get goats?
