i woke this morning to an Email from Jan the Dog Trainer. When she got back from Albuquerque last eve she noticed something different...and in her Doe Yard....another Goat, a tiny one!!!! One of her young does, 10 mos. old, there are two, from TenZen last year, one of her young, too young does, had a kid! NOT the one she had seen sneaking into Sunny Ray's pen, but the Other One. !!!!! It's a little buckling...which is not so great as if it were a doeling, but still, for her a good thing because she can now, well, soon, milk this one. For me it is Grand! Sunny Ray is "a proven buck"!!! After all that initial ya ya that he seemed to be sterile, NO! HE IS GOOD!
and then i spent the next 7 and 1/2 hours STRAiGHT stitching the borders. It doesn't show here much at all, but it's is there...to the eye...all accept for the bottom and i am not sure if i want that "closed in". Will wait till tomorrow and see how it feels.
This border thing, it's as much as i will ever get to "a finished border", i think. I can't bear to close the edges in by turning them. So this is a compromise. It seems to work. so OK.
When i went to bring the 3 new tree/bushes over near the water to a sheltered place, i saw this and pulled it. What IS it? Instinctively i know it's not good for Goats, but What IS it? And how had i not seen it before????....it's BIG
have sent an email with pic to Bill. He will know. And even if it isn't good for Goats, i have to Admire it...LOOK at the size of the seeds....how amazing it is
Tomorrow i need to finish this Cloth. In order to be ready for the Art Thing in Magdalena. Which part of me feels good about and part does not. Those 7 1/2 hours....they TAKE.
Tay ran tonight when i was out feeding and giving water, she RAN hard and fast and so close that sometimes she rammed me or ran over my feet. She has feelings. When i fed the Goats tonight, the doe Goats also rammed close....not hard, as in to do harm, but close to it. Tho they don't need me to be doing anything in particular WITH THEM during a day, they somehow just need me to be Out There...moving around, just going. Things need the just goingness. and if it isn't happening, they express themselves
