when i got back from work today i did the small things left to do Out There.  Washed all the water tubs with the brush and vinegar.   Everything in place in the Albatros.  i don't know if she will want to use the milking stand?   and took time,  to be in the Buck pen.   They so much wanted Touch.  so…ok.  Little Nogal would still be a lap Goat if it could happen.    and spent time in both Doe yards.  Looking closely at each of them,  thinking everything i could about each of them.  she will ask.  i'd like to have good answers.  i tried to see them, this Place as she might.  

and then, as i do,  i Put My House In Order.  floor vacuumed.  clutter undone.  insence lit.  candles.

This is the best of what it is here.  The best of what it is.  The Goats are always the Best of Who They Are.  Always.   me….well….i don't know.

    and don’t we all ?…live down the road. I think what happens here is almost closer than living next door sometimes..it is so lovely. No matter what does or does not happen tomorrow, there are so many of us with good thoughts for you, the goats and Patricia and your time together.

    Have a lovely day Grace. The lady sure does look like a gentle soul, no nonsense kind of person. My daughter is friends with a woman who “talks” to animals, she is also a gentle soul. Hope your goats have a lovely day too. ox

    All is ready, you are ready, open to what comes, waiting. Sometimes I think you see yourself as an apprentice, I see you as a teacher and that is why I say that the sharing and learning will be twofold. When she sees your home, your land, the goats home, how they are, what goes on, when she comes inside, sees your cloth, she will have a deep sense of you, this woman who lives close to the land, close to the bone, richly close to the planet.
