Our Family Farm Obituaries in the last 3 weeks

~ Within two days 4 sweet (and loud) baby bluejays died. Their mother had died and their new mothers couldn’t take the real mothers place no matter how hard they tried. I personally think the cause of death was a broken heart for their beloved mother who gave her life to save theirs.

~ 8 Tadpoles passed away. Cause of death- sun stoke

They were greatly loved and cared for until their bowl of water was unwittingly left in the sun too long. They will be missed.

~ Father mouse and 4 children died in captivity. They were very happy in their small cozy home but when mother mouse escaped their mouse morale plunged low and the vigor of life went out of them. With kind hearts their captors set the two surviving children free.

Amidst the sadness of passing creatures there is also new life here on the home range. Abby, Andy, and the twins Amy and Adam were born to Missy, Molly and Maggie two weeks ago. Their vigor and energy in life is amazing! They jump and play constantly with each other when they are not napping or nursing. They did tell us they will be most happy to share some of their wonderful milk with us when they are old enough not to need so much. Baby goats!!
