came back from Work Away, took a nap, went to Farmer's Market and the grocery to see if they had actually ordered the Sweet Thai Chili Sauce that they have been out of for 3 weeks now, they hadn't. Bummer and came home to find self just out of Energy.
i imagine it's just a natural response to finally having Emrie born, finally seeing that she is Fine, that all systems are GO. i imagine.
and thinking....if i would go out now, or even an hour or so ago, i am surrounded by Goat Yards and even tho i gave them their Grass Hay, as usual, they know that there is all that Kochia and they know that if they cry loud enough i will begin pulling it and give them some. Tonight, i didn't Have It In me.
That's one of the things i am so so looking forward to about the Hill. There is so much natural forage there. Here, they are completely dependent on me to bring food. There, the area that has been designated Goat Forest is brimming with browse. They will continue to enjoy being given feed, whether it's Grass Hay or Alfalfa, not sure yet, but probably Grass Hay, ....in between those feedings, they will be able to self feed. So much more independent. Ground cover, twigs, fallen tree branches....a whole world of stuff to eat.
and hopefully, it will be self sustaining. We'll see. 17 Goats can do a lot of browsing.
ADDENDUM:
it's very close to Dark. The thing we call SKY is there...i stand and look and how many times have i shown You a pic of it...
it's like that again, so infinite and Grand and well....
and i went out to pull the tarp down on the Alfalfa block and was greeted by Toads. Cicaida have begun....that one single noted song and i realized too that it is now August...the difficult month for me...since childhood. and here it is again.
