A Dandy Day!

Wellll Harrumph!  That little dog Keezy got to go to a place that has LOTS TO EAT!  I'd like to go there! 

 

 

 

LOOK at all those dandy lions!  Keezy didn't even want to eat ONE!  What a waste!

 

Keezy thought she might want to go swimming.  She gets kind of warm in her black coat.

 

Pretty up there!

 

When my lady was 25 years younger she used to walk up the big hill behind her house to this park and bring along Cornelia the goat!  Now that was a lucky goat!  I told my lady I wanted to do that but she reminded me that I have a panic attack when I leave the safety of my home.  She also said neither one of us could make it up that hill.  hee hee

 

 

Woodland Friends in the Spring

My lady put her trail camera out higher in the woods and yesterday she went up to get it.  She was hoping to see a bear but one didn't happen to walk by.

 

Here is where the camera is pointing.  When my lady bought this land 25 years ago it was all meadow.

 

The turkey boys are walking around.

 



 

This little deer was galloping by...

 

A coyote walked by too.  Too bad he/she was so close to the flash.

 

And a pretty deer coming down from the hill to the right of the cam.

 

My lady is going to put the cam in a new spot to hopefully get photographs of the bears.

 

 

 

 

What would YOU do for a carrot coin?

Would you make silly faces?

 

WORKS FOR ME!  Hee hee

 

 

 

That's Number nickering in the background.  Shhhhhhh!  I was eating his carrot coin!  I like when my lady sings to me.

Spring is arriving!

The weather is getting nicer, although the nights are still chilly.  Me and my maa maa and Durin spend some time sunbathing.

 

 

Nigel and Nozzy play, play, play!

 

My lady spends a lot of time with Tuuli.  Tuuli is very crippled but she's cheerful and receives her glucosamine and aspirin every day.  Dr. Wilson will be out soon to take a look at her.  My lady says that Tuuli tries to hippity hoppity scamper after her.  She's an amazing wee creature.

 

My lady went for a walk in the woods by one of her favorite lakes and the wildflowers are peeping.

 

Spring wetlands.

 

Trout lilies were everywhere!

 

Keezy had a grand time...even though there were people walking with their dogs off leash.  Sigh.

 

I want to go for a walk in the woods.  My lady says that I'm not a traveling goat like my friend Darla.

 

Look at the nice photograph of my friend Missy Mimi and Darla.  Darla loves to go to festivals and show everyone how beautiful she is.  My lady said I'm a countrygoat and this kind of thing would make me nervous.  Hee hee.  She's probably right! 

 

 

The Wind Doth Blow!

 

The North wind doth blow and we shall have snow,
And what will poor robin do then, poor thing?
He'll sit in a barn and keep himself warm
and hide his head under his wing, poor thing.

Wind makes me frisky. It must make Gimli itchy!  hee hee

The Rill Song Sings

 

We've had a lot of rain.  It's been cool too, so when the thunder began and the downpours came when it was 40 degrees F we were surprised.

 

The Rill Song became very high so my lady went down to check things over.  Some of the bridge is gone but it could have been worse.

 

 

The Rill Song is singing but not too loudly.

 

Phew.

 

Has Spring Sprung?

 

Hellooo!  It was very warm Sunday so my lady got out her hand shears and snipped away at Tuuli.

 

Hee hee hee.  That's funny, Lady.

 

That's a little better.  Tuuli feels good after this.  She still needs more snipping but the bulk of the fleece is off and my lady was able to save some for spinning.

 

Thistle went into the bed and arranged it for comfortable dog sleeping.

 

Down at the barn - there were my lady's two biggest helpers.  She was sure only minutes before they had been far, far out in the pasture. 

 

Nums came up to supervise the cleaning of his stall.

 

Here is whee we were.  It was very nice to sun bathe.

 

Once my lady came up to the barn we moved up to join her.

 

I snagged the picnic table!  Woo hoo!

 

Don't I look cozy?

 

Welll....it was warm.  Today it's only 44 degrees F. and it's pouring.  I heard the word "ice" too.  Uh oh.
