		<title>KIDS OUTSIDE</title>

		<title>MINNIE&#8217;S BUCK KIDS</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Minnie had triplet bucks yesterday morning. It was an interesting birth and the first for my intern Lili.

		<title>CUTE GOAT BABIES</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Selena&#8217;s babies are three days old and very busy learning how to use their long legs and persuade us to give them more milk.

		<title>CRISP FALL WEATHER</title>

		<title>WHERE DID THE TIME GO?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My goodness, it is nearly September!
July only dried out a little bit and we didn&#8217;t really see true summertime weather until a couple of weeks ago. This has been the summer that wasn&#8217;t. The rain and damp helped fuel a plague of late blight that ruined many a farmer&#8217;s tomato crop and also affected potatoes. [...]]]></description>

		<title>THE RAIN POURED DOWN</title>
