everyone came today. Jenny and her man earlier, bringing bales of feed. She also brought cucumber starts, onion starts and a jalapeno. We sat OUT with the kid goats, marveling. Laughing. She took the propane tanks down to Lakeside and when she went in to pay, they have erected 2x4 frames with plastic in front of the registers to protect their cashiers who are now wearing nitrile gloves. She reached into her pocket and handed the change from the $50 i'd given her...Cooties she said. I pocketed it, the Cootie money. It's there, right now. in my right pocket of my levis. I did wash my hands, but.....
Alyssia and the kids came to bring ice for the refrigerator and batteries for this laptop and the phone. They went right away OUt to the Kidding House, the Curry House, and hung out there, playing with the Two Babies and it was such JOY on the part of the kid Goats and for them....Such Silliness, But then when they came out, she got the kids into the Car...i said....you aren't staying? and she said No....i want them to get used to not coming IN. ....the cooties.
O.
So.
Things ratchet up.
for right now, the Cooties Rule. i feel sad. Particularly....i miss Emrie here. IN here, how she is....showing me things, telling me things. I didn't ask Alyssia more....she is how she is, and talks about things as she can. I don't know her PLAN. Maybe she doesn't really have one yet. Maybe she's winging it in the moment, an experiment, and so we go. For the third day, Talkie has laid her egg down in the feed house, in the Buck's grass hay. One needs to be careful not to squash it. It rained off and on, tomorrow forcasted to be the same but then after that, warm and SUNny. I will PLANT
EARTH: teach me. Please.
