About that wrench....

Mama used to say, "I know one thing! I have simply got to"... do this or that. There was always something mama felt like had to be done, bless her heart. I miss mama.

what now!

Well, I know one thing! I have simply got to put a post on my blog this morning! 

Adopting a month old, bottle fed, baby goat has really thrown a wrench into the works here.

But enjoyable...let me tell you...this is such a sweetie pie!

For the most part she lives in the big pet carrier that Shelby and Jimmy gave me. After feeding her, she runs laps around the living room and kitchen, jumping up and over chairs and tables, while I laugh and play with her. She runs to me and when I bend over to pick her up, she jumps up to meet me, nuzzling her little nose under my chin and nibbling at my ear.

Oops! Excuse me! Sorry!

Sweetness! Absolute sweetness! So, after playing, she goes back into her carrier, without so much as a whimper. She seems totally content to lay there and watch.

just wanted to ask, did you say we are friends, or not?

Sometimes I tell her she looks like a miniature black Angus cow. Other times, she reminds me of a little donkey. 

When the sun warmed the lot and the teeny tiny barn yesterday, we ventured outside. Asa watched.

and watched...

and watched.

Poppy brought home a bale of hay. That empty hay rack looks dangerous! The baby could jump and get her head or leg caught.  I packed the new hay tight, all the way to the bottom...and still worry. I don't dare leave her alone, not yet.

Another thing I have simply got to do is give this baby a name. Today, I will name her today!

Need to get busy...honestly, where do the days go? Hope to be back soon. Thank you for looking in.

Love,
Henny
