Goodness, gracious...now its...goats!
As of today, the Bendickson barnyard is now home to 16 animals. One dog, two cats, eleven chickens...and two Alpine goats! These two sweet babies were born this spring at the Stone farm and they've been saving them for us until today. We finally got our fence "goat-proofed" - if there is such a thing. Believe it or not, it actually takes more voltage to keep goats than a bull! They've been here for five hours now and so far, so good :-)

Oh, and we went to the State Fair this week too. I know most people love to eat cheese curds and deep-fried anything, but we just haven't developed a taste for such delicacies. So, we're overjoyed that French Meadow (one of our favorite organic restaurants) has a beautiful place right there are the great MN get-together. Egg Croissant Sandwiches and mini-scones! It doesn't get any better than this :-)
The chickens are doing well, but they are not laying much at the moment. Molting, perhaps? Hopefully the seven younger ones will kick it into gear pretty soon. There's a chill in the air and school starts next week...but we're hanging on to summer for as long as we can.

We will have to plan a time to visit for sure....you let us know! Can't wait to meet your menagerie!!! We too love the French Meadow bakery @ the fair. Love to you all ~ Stephanie x
Are you going to get a Yak soon also? Just wondering... :) Love you all!
P.S. Deep fried cheese curds and anything deep fried on a stick is just..., well..., gross!
Ha! No yaks in our future that I know of...then then again...who knows?! Someone recently asked us if we'd like a couple of alpacas. We declined. As for deep-fried junk and cheese curds...that would make me "yak":-)
