this may be the year

I don't know.  I don't know if this year will be more productive than last year as far as my blogging skills go.  I realized that I posted NOTHING in 2022.  I don't know if 2022 was just that uneventful, or just that busy.  But here we are in 2023 and I am going to try to keep things updated.  We shall see. 
The year started off as all years do for us with the Pa State Farm Show.  We have shown at the Farm Show for what we can figure was around 2005, when Nigerians were first accepted into ADGA.   This year was very good for Lamp Oil Farm with 2 of our doe achieving Best or Reserve Best of Breed.  Our homebred doe, Daisy, did it again with Best of Breed in the Youth Show, but yet again, failed to obtain her leg for illegible tattoo.  UGH, I really need to get microchips this year.   Our doe, Cedar View Ayanna, earned Reserve Best of Breed in the Open Show.  In the youth show, we had 5 of the 6 doe up for Best of Breed!  With all but one being home bred.  The kids did great showing.  Hard to believe only a couple more years until they are out of 4H and can't show in youth.
Not only the kids did great, but I also earned BEST OF SHOW for an original design quilt.  This is an achievement I have been working towards for the past few years.  Several of my other entries also received high placings.  It was a great show and we are hoping to get to other sanctioned shows this year besides our local fairs.
