It seems the pussy willow cuttings inserted in a porch pot 3 months ago are sprouting (growing buds). Are they called catpaws?  Anyway, I am surprised and delighted.  I water it occasionally.  It is partially frozen still with temps at night below freeing. But daytime temps are in the 40's or 50 this week.  The winter has been short. The drought is very much critical in this part of Central South MN.

 Like many farm sites in my county, our 5 acre home and out buildings, are surrounded by trees and we maintain trails around the site.  Our orchard and pastures are home to wildlife, too.  While out walking today I found this lovely bird that has expired on the path.  It's a beauty!

  

 Leading goats from barn to graze in orchard can happen with treats and encouraging words.

Or chaos ensues!  First get a leash, and TREATS.  Hand feed a few treats like apple or carrot slices. Keep them interested with nibbles.  If they stop, you are not going to want to drag on the leash as they are very strong. Walk fast, have a clear goal and when bribe.

I made some new tidbits for them today.

Mixed up simply with cooked oatmeal mixed with cornflakes while warm!
