How are the goatlings? Talkie? Are you expecting some fun guests tomorrow?
I want to visit my family, but I’m uneasy. They have been out and about. I have
sheltered in place.LikeLike

the little ones are Great. totally Great. The Herd
in the last couple days has been in disarray. There is that thing about whose standing is where. Grace who i call Wendy was very mean to Caroline on Thursday and enlisted Karma, Arctica and Celia. By very mean, i mean bullying. Goats do a certain amount of that, by nature. Sometimes, times like this, a lot. It’s not pretty. But i guess is necessary for the well being of the Herd if threatened. There’s a lot to say about this and i’m not ready for that at this moment. Just to say, it’s going on. The little ones are fine…they run and spin and flip and fly and spin and run. Their little testicles have shrunk to almost nothing but are still dangling. The crusts of their disbudding have fallen off and it was a complete success which is such a relief. Hair is growing in. Black’s Firefly is reappearing. They GROW. Carolyn has not weaned them and i am relieved, not ready to take up the THING of milking. But in just days, i will need to face that.
The big deal now is Tay. When the little ones are out, she is on leash. This can’t go on. That’s next. and its BIG.
Tomorrow?, no. Jenny and her man came today for the Saturday Goat Day Things…we wormed the buck Goats, moved Nogal’s calf hutch from Talkie’s nesting place. Walked with the herd and watched so closely, looking for clues how to help it go forward. Tomorrow?, no. Her work at the Hospital has been intense. Sunday’s now for her are her own. She’s burned out and needs them.
Alyssia and kids…nothing tomorrow. Everyday and everyday allday theMothering goes on with this Hill. We dont have a day.
family “out and about”
this means, justmeans, out and risking.
for me…now is the time when it’s getting REAL. the Rona isn’t gone.
lifeanddeath are at risk. So…i guess we weigh it.
we don’t take any risk. It’s hard.LikeLike

DEAR ONE how eagerly I read all the detail in your comment to Laura and how beautiful your photographs are. So much to consider about how to proceed with critter and land mothering. I wish you strength and a peaceful heart.

Well, I have spent some time now, looking up firefly on a goat. I was all over the place, nothing. I hope it means his mojo. It must be fun to watch them! Does Tay see prey in them? So much for you to take care of. They act like kids!
We’re not going to see my son, his wife, and grand baby. They are also “out and about”. It makes me sad, but I look forward to Google Duo with them. So, yeah, we weigh it.
Happy Mother’s Day!

…maybe i didn’t mention his “firefly”….just a few
wisps of white hairs on his head…was between the two
horn buds that were burned. after the disbudding, you
couldn’t see…she, the disbudding woman, puts something
on there that seals it. Just this last week his has
finally all come off and there it is…but just a couple
hairs…but they are growing. When he was born it was
totally in the shape of a firefly or dragon fly. AND
i like the idea that it’s his MoJo.
No…Tay knows their Goats, but she is Big and
Excitable and they RUN…she wants to chase running
things…catch them with her foot..pin them so she can
smell them thoroughly. The worry is that she could
hurt them doing this.
She DID learn with Puppy, but Puppy could climb trees.
She and Puppy are all ok now….have been for so long.
And she understood NO CHICKEN with Talkie. That took
work. But they are good now too. So, it’s just
the Doing of It. Next.
I’m glad you decided to abstain. a hard decision.
Jenny and her Man DID stop at Alyssia’s house on the
way here yesterday…stood in the driveway, Emrie had
been prepared for no touching, no going near but she
did go near…did want to hug Jenny, kept asking Why
and when Jenny repeated over and over that she works
at the Hospital and people there have germs, Emrie
said…but you are clean, New Nana, your hair is clean.
it’s so incredibly SAD. and the worst, not knowing how
long this will need to go on.

i like that it’s not just one day…gives another
chance.
we don’t usually do much anyway…but you can’t help
but be touched by all the sentimentLikeLike

I am glad there is a day for Jenny that she can have. I am sorry for the sadness that Emrie’s young brain is struggling to understand. I am everything that’s everything about the miniature pomegranates.
big winds here all day. J wondered aloud earlier if we’d reach times when we had to rush inside to escape from wind in case It was there in the air currents traveling everywhere…LikeLike

She really needs it. it is becoming clear for all of us in various ways that this is On Going. We need to take care of our Selves for this long haul. Am so so glad to see she is honoring that for Her SELF.
Emrie will do what she can. We try to be clear with her. But SHE will make of it what she is able.
Wild is a big player in the Climate Imaginings. Have read that for a long time. We wonder so many things. I think its good. Helps us Prepare.LikeLike
