There's nothing like a bunch of farm babies to put a smile on your face! Although there is something very spooky about the eyes of goats and sheep. Very spooky indeed. We saw these beauties at March Farm in Bethlehem today. We took the kids there for a romp in the playground. (The grandkids as in kids, not kids as in... goatbaby kids, although there were two newborn kids in a little house with their mommy.)  A good day was had by all, and I got myself some great photos today! And in case you were wondering... a goat (and sheep, and most animals with hooves) have rectangular pupils which allow them to see from 320-340 degrees. We people see 160-210 degrees. So, goats pretty much have eyes in the back of their heads... ask any kid, that is pretty spooky! I say the EYES have it!

I went to the Disney World of Farm Stands yesterday, No joke! Saturday saw a variety of things for the SPA Team, we had a listing appointment in Bethlehem, some time to kill, then off to Woodbury for the second appointment. After the first appointment we did a team field trip to March Farm in Bethlehem. Wow, what a fantastic place! I walked out of there with the best slab of Hunter Cheddar Cheese, made under the Cabot Cheese name by Twin Pine Farm in Thomaston. A great tip, if  you want to support your local dairy farmers, buy Cabot Cheese, it is owned by Agrimark, the coop that most of our New England dairy farmers own and ship milk to. This cheese was melt in your mouth fantastic! A loaf of olive bread, (all gone, sorry), tomatoes and peaches. Oh, how did I forget the jar of peach sal...
