down by the fence that is inbetween the Feed Shed and Jack Flash's place....along in front of the Chicken Palace that Talkie could care less about.... there have always been these, but this time, they flourish, the mother plants are tall and broad and they are in profusion. Lush. and the Goats don't touch them. ???? if you press a leaf in your fingers, there is a scent, a fragrance that is somehow similar to pachouli...maybe just in that it is punguent? it is so interesting. What the Goats DO eat and what they just Don't. How do they "decide"...what "tells" them....and what does what tells them Tell them. ??? and remember, they also do not eat the Miner's Lettuce. We eat handfulls. more ????
i had to shovel out debris that washed down in front of the Feed Shed door. Alyssia was bringing bale of grass hay...the 3 string and it's big. Door needs to fully open to accomodate. Did it and sat on the half way up resting chair. I saw Ginger down near Jack's and didn't think anything. As the Doe Goats get older they begin spending time to themSelves apart from the rest. Off and On. no pattern. So she was down there but then began coming up and would stop and turn her head up....her pace quickened and she stopped, came along, stopped and began calling. no answer. she veered over into the trees across the road and followed the path there, her calling becoming more and more urgent. then back out onto the road and she began running up toward the Tin House, Calling Calling then standing. Before taking off at a clip up to the ridge there that leads down to the meadow. Not long after, they All came up the road, her in their midst. Was the first time i've seen this whole scenario. They don't mind being off on singular business, but clearly only if they know where everyone else is. interesting.
Was in a mood. Asking the Nothing......how many times will i need to say OKay. as in because there is nothing else to say but Okay. Like reading the News about potential comotion upcoming because someone is being asked to be accountable for things. On both sides. and you read it and it makes no good sense but it will happen, so you think....Okay. and how the headline was Flying Blind into Climate Change and you read it and say to Self...wellllll, okay How many things that are "wrong" in my lifelong sense of things will i just take in and just say....okay.......and how this contributes to my present frame of mind that is pretty much in accordance to Rain/noRain to which there is nothing else to say but Okay. Yesterday, RAIN. Today not. Tomorrow RAIN. Okay. and they say it will continue on into......April?????????, okay.
i joined a Face Book Group of New Mexico Cooking. Someone was talking about getting beans in Estancia. Estancia beans are beyond the best. i thought....okay. but this was okay.
