| | Cheese Cheese Cheese. That's how I start out my mornings
now. It's really fun, I'm just loving it, and it definitely keeps
me busy during these long weeks, with Chris working longer hours and
more days then usual. How I miss him! It's as if I live two
lives: the glorious, wonderful hours when he's home, and then the long,
try-to-stay-busy-and-be-productive hours when he's gone. Whenever
I can, I still sneak in a day of work with him, but with six kids (goat
kids) to bottle feed and a garden underway this is getting harder and
harder.
Speaking of goat kids, Shadoe's little one is simply and completely
adorable! He is the cutest and funniest baby to date. He
has the most precious little sneeze, and stamps and stomps and leaps
his way around the other babies. So I have fallen in love with
him, and the other day I asked Chris if I could keep him as long as I
trained him to be a harness goat. *grin* I haven't
seen Chris look that helpless in a while, and then he told me he was
not going to answer that question while the goat is this young.
So I'm going to go ahead and work with him, because if I can get him
trained then it's much more likely Chris will believe it can be done.
Still haven't come up with a name for him. Snowball is too
obvious, Snickers.... Well, I knew a Yorkie named Snickers and I simply
couldn't name a white goat that now. Simon reminds me of our
tall, gangly neighbor. And all the other names I am thinking of
are either too sissy or or not.... goaty enough. So, as soon as I
can find the digital camera, I am going to post a picture of him and
ask everyone to help with names.
It's been so warm and beautiful here. I got a row of radishes
planted, which was promptly dug up two nights later by Critter, Dad's
puupy. That dog digs holes everywhere! He is so funny and
loveable you simply can't get upset with him. But trying to
stretch the fence so that it covered the hole he was getting through, I
was holding a board and I am absolutely positive that board jumped out
of my hand and smacked me right in between the eyes. Now I can't
touch it 'cause it is really painful! I bruise so easily just in
my work around the house, as well as managing to cut and scrape myself
on anything and everything. Then when the weekend comes I am
walking around the grocery store with this big guy, covered in bruises
and cuts. It's kind of funny.
DO NOT READ FURTHER UNLESS YOU WANT A PLAY_BY_PLAY OF OUR GARDEN!
Other then radishes, we have okra, green beans, peas, watermelon, corn,
cherry tomatoes and regular tomatoes, lots of cucumbers, green peppers
and few other things that I can't rememer at the moment.
Oh. Cantaloupe. And there might be more.... Anyway,
I'll close now and go check on my cheese. Later ya'll!
