so is it 5:35 or 6:35? Sky says 6:35, dusk. Computer says 5:35. an hour away. Feeding Goats, the hour matters.
Cleaned the chimney pipe to wood stove, taking off the screened cap that prevents birds from making careless decisions. Sucking out the soot with a shop vac borrowed. Ready. Ready to burn.
Doe Goats are hot. Nigerian goats come into heat monthly and so can be bred around the year. But for whatever reason, November is a particular kind of month. Actually, November is the month that i too would choose to breed. 5 month gestation, bringing them to kid in late March or April…when it begins to be warm for the little ones.
The bucks out there blather and blubber, all steamy to do the work at hand. The does, almost all of them today are in the middle pen, their tails Flagging, calling out. In its way, a horrible day of Goat noise. But it's how it is for them. To Just GO. to breed and bring forth new of themselves. I try not to listen.
Soon. A woman who is driven. a woman, driven. will be seated There. We aren't used to that. a woman driven….we know men, driven….nothing new. But a woman driven. What
might we expect from
HER?
What can we DEMAND from HER?
