Save Thor's Goats

The Land of Lust

We are living in paradise. The weather is exactly what I would want if I were creating the perfect planet. It’s in the 40s at night, in...

"You Tell 'em, Fat Lady!"

Big Red continued to improve this week. By Saturday she was leaving the chicken coop and hanging out in the rose bushes (where the hens...

Somebody's Got My Goat

It’s suddenly fall here. It’s dark out when I go next door to my cousin’s house. It’s in the 40s every morning when we milk the goats...

Feather Foots

I have waited weeks to get this photo! I first saw this being several weeks ago on my way to the Post Office, and nearly ran off the road...

A Mantle for Leroy

This week I drove up to Colorado to visit my sister. I went, partly, in order to lay out the quilt I’m making for our niece, Kat. Here...

Baling in the Moonlight
