Also that dating was too dangerous to be worth it there.

Regardless, here is this morning. Off to chores!

Did the Snow Fairy dump on you?

 

[rachels.haven]

Oh yeah. We got hit again. Snow day and instant shut down. And I don't even care. Staying home is good.

And it's real snow this time instead of sleet. That was like cheap knockoff snow before. This stuff is nice.

*Edit: and melting!

Escaped little, on the other side of the barn screaming her head off to be rescued after squeezing out while i was grabbing something and parkour ing up the hay behind the wall.

This is three of my four on my "big dumb dummy" miking string. Here is Beans trying to head butt her way into a bag of grain...after being on the stand. There is still the same food left on the stand. But this food is better. Precious the mini lamancha looks like she approves (she's a bottle kid alumni that becomes feral if feeling off or in heat, earning her a spot on the dummy string). The lanubians are huge and like to throw their weight around but are always "finding creative ways to do things more stupider" including being very physical if they feel like they can get away with it. Turds.

Don't mind if this one doesn't sell.

Kind of want to keep this one.

I kind of like this one too. Shes long and level too.

Today I took pics of my keeper standards, the minis I've opted to offer, and just baby goats in general. My keeper standards are in an awkward stage. Chores went little long though because I got my hand crushed and stuck in one of the horse stall doors for a while and i needed a few afterward to make sure I wasn't going to puke. I hate those stall doors.

Ouch!

You've got some really nice babies there!

Goat dynamics. I get my goat fix vicariously through you. I go outside and thank my sheep for not being destructive dynamos. My pallet and hoop tarp covered shelters wouldn't last a day with goats but they suit my sheep just fine. My sheep can get stupid too, but on a much different level.

The keeper goats pictures, those are some pretty babies.

I have a lot of respect for sheep people. I don't think I could do it. Sheep look similar but are so different. Sounds like it's my responsibility to take lots of pics so nobody feels goat deficient. I come here for cow and sheep stories too.

Do you find yourself hanging on every word, waiting on what happens next? I do.

 

[rachels.haven]

Oh yes. Better than Facebook. Everyone's the star of their own novel. And a lot of people on here are good writers too so it's perfect to sit down at the end of the day in the beat up comfy chair in DH's little office where we stack random house pillows or even in my bed and just read and check up on everyone and look for new threads etc. I don't have much to add on other journals but I feel like I've seen and learned so much through everyone's stories on top of the enjoyment. Forms are the right kind of social media for me and this one is my favorite.

OUCH !!! Hope your hand heals quickly (as we all say - arnica)
Your goaties are adorable - and little trouble machines on hooves! Sheep - so much easier. Probably dull and boring compared to goats.
