Hello, on with the introductions.

First, the stars of the show.









The twins - Derrick











and Desarae










Saphira









Carlisle





These are my 2010 1st generation Kinder kids and the start of my herd. I think they are just beautiful.

Yesterday after all the feeding and milking, I gave the "Irish Setter" a pedicure. He did very well considering that he is used to having a professional nail artist and he was stuck with me under his hooves. He's just lucky I didn't paint his toes pink. He is a four year old quarterhorse. I am just starting to train him to ride. The first time I put a saddle on him and got on, my husband nearly had a heart attack. But I knew he wasn't going to do anything. I'd raised him from a baby! He just lacks a steering wheel.


Well, today we spent running errands and going to lunch at school with my daughter Cassandra. So gotta run for now and catch up with all the chores around here. More intros tomorrow.


God Bless,

DaLinda

Howdy all. Well apparently I can't read a calendar either. I have been telling myself that May 1st was Sunday for about two weeks now. So, of course, I am a day late as usual.

I was out yesterday letting the goats and the Irish Setter (he's really a quarterhorse, but don't tell him that - he will pout!) graze in the yard. Lost all track of time and a quarter of my peppermint plant, but we had fun.

Oh yeah, guess I ought to introduce myself. DaLinda Ackerman - Creative Critters - Kilgore Texas. I started Kinders from scratch with a herd of 3 Nubian does, 1 Pygmy doe (too cute to pass up), 2 Pygmy bucks, and 1 Nubian buck (also too cute). I will introduce everyone as soon as I get my pictures uploaded. (Note: not using the Pygmy doe for Kinders)

I just got my first Kinder kids this spring and they are so cute. I am really excited. And my first fresheners are drowning me in milk, so will have to start making cheese soon. We had some ice cream already and it was great.

Well, I'm looking forward to visiting with you this month. Thanks for the invite!

Almost done?


Wow! This month seems to be flying by. I can't believe its already the 28 of April! I am now starting to take my horse to lessons, I am practicing for the Topeka symphony, we just got a new great pyreneese puppy, the goats are only on two bottles a day now and my big brother will soon be 17! I can't believe how fast everything is going this year.

Last year the goats seemed like they were never going to be weaned and now they are almost off the bottle all together! My violin last year sounded somewhat like a fire truck and now I am trying out for the symphony. My big brother Elisha is my best friend and he is growing so fast. Its funny how things change so quickly. It makes you want to live every moment to the fullest. I pray God will help me live my whole life for His glory. I think this is the only way I can live my life to the fullest. I look forward to the rest of the year and all of the wonderful things God has planned out for me. :-)

I hope God blesses your farms and lives as well. :-)
Until thew whole world hears,
