Our darling buds of May

May 11, 2017March 20, 2018 Rebecca8 Comments

For the first time since the kids were born, May gave us a true spring day (an afternoon, at any rate). Poor Darcy had been cooped up in the barn for nearly a full week. It was time to throw the doors open. The rest of the herd was down in the pasture, so I… Continue reading Our darling buds of May →

Here we are now

May 5, 2017May 5, 2017 Rebecca9 Comments

Darcy kept us waiting six days. She seemed unbothered by it all. It was just the humans who were anxious, all the way through yesterday morning when I suggested maybe we should talk to the vet to see if we should be concerned. Of course, that's what did it. Like taking an umbrella along to… Continue reading Here we are now →

Stasis

May 2, 2017May 7, 2017 Rebecca7 Comments

Sometimes the only way to start is just to start. * The cats and I are playing a game today. The game goes like this: they sit on the windowsill to my left, close enough to my ear that I can hear their ears twitch. I get out of my chair and they dash for… Continue reading Stasis →

But get to the important stuff! I hear you shout. What about the new little buck? How is he settling in? Do the girls like him? What is his NAME? He's been here nearly three weeks and he feels like part of the family.  He's sweet but shy. I don't think he had a lot… Continue reading Domestic tranquility →

House move 2.0

November 13, 2015November 13, 2015 Rebecca1 Comment

This move was a whole lot simpler than the last one, particularly as most of it happened while I was out of town. And we didn't have to empty the contents into a shipping container. And we didn't have to live in a rental house with no oven for six months. And we didn't have… Continue reading House move 2.0 →

Hidden treasures

November 5, 2015 Rebecca1 Comment

Out of the blue, a month or so ago, a friend forwarded me an email, “Isn’t this the type of goat you have?” Her husband had been browsing craigslist and found for sale a purebred Guernsey buck. You might know that this is a very rare breed. There aren’t that many in this country (a… Continue reading Hidden treasures →
