more small stitching….that grey and white…Weather….,  the Crows are crow enough.  and i think, late in the day that the diamond in the center needs to come off.  i see that that vertical gauzy center scrap is a Net.  i didn't know before.   a Net.

it's over.  i have watched constantly today,  wanting to learn as much as i can.  Watched from Out there and from inside, through the window.  Just now, going out to take these pics,  they all look up like….."yes?"    it's done.  Onday may be relentless,  but she is effective.  Today everyone has a place.  They are a Herd again.  

it's really so touching to watch the two young ones making their way in the Whole.  how capable they are,  how smart.  and interestingly enough,  Celia,  Lucky Star's current baby is very interested in bonding with Just Going,  Lucky's baby from the last kidding.  how she pursues her, engages her.

    They are just so
    here.
    They don’t know anything at all about all the words i give
    about Them. They are just Them. They just go. every day.
    They just Go.

    that’s Ginger. Really, my daughter’s “best” Goat. She
    is very perfect in all ways. and she is the mother of Cinderella and Sunny Ray. if i breed again, i will breed
    Ginger and Nogal. it should be amazing.
    Ginger is very much her own self. she doesn’t involve herself in Herd comotion, just moves through it. she is also the one who is most specific about her desire for contact. standing close, VERY close and putting her hoof on an arm or often on my shoulder. making a clear statement of wanting Touch. She’s an extraordinary Goat. i don’t know what kind of milker she might be. i’d like to find out.
    i forget her “long name”…something daughter’s Thai husband insisted on. i call her Ginger Snap. lots of times just Snap. She knows both names.

    no. Celia is the stark marked black and white in the far back of the first Goat pic. Just Going is lying down in
    the center foreground in both pics. She is red and white.

    today is two days later and they yes, have Settled. Lucky
    Star is MORE than she ever was before. i have no idea Why.
    none. but she is truly a part of the Herd now. and she even goes about initiating…INITIATING…that physical contact with almost all of them. Not Onday or SnowBunny yet, but all the others. She also will not be pushed away from a food
    bowl anymore. Stands her ground, either by ignoring the pushing or by verbalizations. But she is GOOD. very very
    GOOD.
    Net. i don’t know anything at all about the Why of it.
    Tomorrow, maybe….Wednesday. when i can be here with it all day.
