First Born Giveaway

by Susan on March 31, 2009

No, I am not giving away my first born. Especially since my first born hasn’t even been born yet and Patrick’s first born, Harry, is way too helpful to giveaway. 

I am giving away the winner’s choice of one pound of yarn or spinning fiber to the person you guesses the hour and date our first goat kid or lamb is born this year.

Here’s the rules: since we could have babies any minute, the time to enter this giveaway is short. Get your entry in by 8 pm EST tonight (3/31). In the event that more than one person chooses the correct hour and date we will flip a coin to choose the winner. “Hour” will be defined as within the hour- i.e. 2:05 would be in the 2 o’clock hour. So would 2:50 p.m.. You must indicate a.m. or p.m. on your entry because military time confuses me even when I’m not sleep deprived. 

Just so everybody is on the same page- our nannies and one of our ewes are bred to give birth sometime between today (3/31) and  April 20th. Get your guesses in now!

Props to Margaret (mugginsquilts) for the idea!

Now, do you consider a baby goat to be “born” when it first pokes its nose out or when “Elvis has left the theater” (i.e., baby is on the ground)?

Liz Adams March 31, 2009 at 6:37 pm

Okay, the first baby will be born: April l, 2009, at 1.34 a.m.

Auntie Pete March 31, 2009 at 6:38 pm
