    Awwwwww, the dear critter! And, doesn’t the girls tentative smile, and slightly turned in right knee signify her awareness of posing in the most charming way.

    Hello grace, just remembering birthing goats on our local community farm – and all the dilemmas of too many animals, too little space, erratic people…and I loved it. Still miss those goats.

    it’s funny, how stuff goes. i am sure the things you
    notice here are from her total and complete love of
    Barbie. She is a Barbie devote. but somehow for her
    it comes so naturally. she is a really interesting child.
    8 years old.

    OH…i wish you lived next door. or i wish i could call
    you….i would have so many questions.
    Daughter knows SO much, but the goats have never had to
    contend with such small space before. and that is a very
    Real thing. i can’t imagine what i would be like if suddenly there were children of many sizes and more being born here in my house…

    yeah, i printed one for her and one for Alz B’s refrigerator. i’ll make a couple more for her Moms.
    I asked her today if she had thought about how she was
    standing, and by her not understanding my question, i
    realized that she is just This. This is her. nothing to
    do with Barbie.

    Elizabeth of Southerly World, over there in Australia where i feel
    such kinship with…..
    Thanks for saying that. but i am about ready to write a post about
    how funny (as in odd) the compliments feel…it’s just my angst.
    my constant looking and thinking. Trying. i can’t help it. and
    i feel like i know SO LITTLE and have GOTTEN ALMOST NO WHERE….
    with all the trying, but i cannot help the trying.
    the goats…oh JEEZ. the real MONSOON has come. RAIN and it’s wet
    and all except for dear beaten up Lucky Star are crammed in the
    old guinea hen Palace in the rain and last night, ALL NIGHT IT RAINED…NOT DRIZZLE, BUT RAIN. FAT DROPS. but this morning they were all alive and yelling for dry food. Daughter comes in the morning and we will evaluate. make some decisions. she says i am
    projecting my own stuff on them. that it’s much more simple for them. ie the harsh treat ment of the two for Lucky Star. she is
    certain it’s just herd behavior????????????????????????????
    so…tomorrow we’ll see. we will put them all together again and
    watch.
    I honestly don’t know if i am made up of what it takes to do this.
    really. still finding out.
    i really love that you care………………xoxoxoxoxoxo

    her smile is so innocent that you might not suspect posing… also just loving playing with barbie in an purely imaginative way… she is not projecting yet!
    re compliments… imagine how jude feels… i sort of stopped reading the comments there for that reason.
