felt adrift today.  no particular reason.  so spent time OutSide to fortify self.  Mostly with Gideon.

the Spirits attended,  even giving him a rainbow

it always comes to this.  After doing the pitchfork work to clear the scrap feed from the Gate,  i sat and sang to him my fake Navajo songs that all the Goats like very much and he likes a LOT.  I said Metta for him,  a long time and as he is,  he wanted to be close.  He is such a romantic.

Gideon.

If he makes it to Spring,  it will be easy to let him loose to browse the new Kochia.  All the others will be beside themselves but that's ok.  These are his final days.  He is Grand and Elegant and Fine.

his shelter that Travis and i built.  I like how SUN shines through the tarp that covers the Out Side

that WIND that brought down Old Russian Olive did other things.  Trashed this old rockingchair

    Oh, Gideon is a very beauty full creature, Grace. My older dog, Daisy, holds her head like that. And I notice some people do too. Thank him for me. xx

    after the Work part, the pitch fork, the glove can come off and the soft scratching, the soft handling of his ears, his chin, his cheek, just under his eye…he just stands, eyes slitted, he is Goat Love.
