Good goat times today. Much needed. A cooler day. Started out with clouds. Later on came sun, but then also rain. I actually wished it had rained harder, as I sat in the goat house and listened to the rain with the goats. Not quite the Millennium Falcon on Ach-To with porgs, but still good. The soothing sound of rain and deep hugs with Mia. Sweetness. Before that we got our grazing done and had nice people encounters. There’s a lot of diversity here. An asian looking lady came by with a cuuute little dog. She picked up the dog as she approached us. Not sure if it was for the dog’s protection or for the goats’ haha. The dog barked a lot at the goats, but they were cute lil barks from a cute lil dog. We talked a little and she asked if it was ok to pet the goats. And she did. Then a man and woman whomst I guess had African roots because the man, after asking me if it was okay to pet the goats, told me something that I didn’t quite get, but it was something about how you were supposed to catch the goats by their hind legs? Or something. He said that was something they’d done in Africa. Or maybe I just got the whole thing wrong, haha. But they seemed happy to see the goats. And then a group of kindergarteners came walking down the path. A big group. They passed along and one of their adults wanted to take a selfie with Mia. Mia decided to totally snub her and walked away. But then i guess she changed her mind, because as they walked along Mia started following the woman. To everyone’s amusement.
Yeah, it’s funny when I have the goats down by the path there because people generally don’t expect there to be goats walking around.
Anyway I’m out of talk now

Also today, we ended up in the alternate pen. You remember that? We spent some time there last year, especially while the fences around the goat pen were being redone.
The goats have been getting braver and braver crossing the path and going further and further. So we ended up here and I thought we could spend some time in that pen, with fresh greens.

It’s not like there was a ton of grass in the alt pen, but lots of good leaves at least.

Do you ever wonder if there’s a point to it all? If it’s worth the effort? Are the pebbles you’re throwing in the river of time actually doing anything, changing anything, changing the course of the river? Or do they just sink to the bottom and the river doesn’t even know you’re there and also your metaphors are crummy? Have you ever, ever felt like this?

Thank you everyone for the uplifting comments on yesterday’s post. Sometimes it’s hard to see much point to the future, but then it helps to focus on what you have in the present. I have a lot of good friends on here, and I appreciate that. If the goat posts can bring a smile or two to some of you, then I am not without value. Even if I come with factory defects. Some assembly required.

I’m not impressed by Tom Cruise. I also do my own stunts. Did you see the video of me breaking a rib by playing with goats? Show me the video of Tom Cruise playing with goats so hard that he breaks a hip. Show me that video. Go on. If Tom Cruise is all that then show me that video. You can’t, can you? YOU CAN’T.

Today will be a good day. Here’s Bruce and Clark from 2015.
I lost the fight this morning. Did not make it out of bed. Dreamland too wonderful, real world too crummy. Couldn’t do it. I’ve made it an exercise day instead, so at least it’s not completely unproductivce. But not what I had planned,.

It’s amazing the care that Esther gets. I wish our goats got that level of care. Because honestly, as hard as it is to say, they likely wouldn’t. I wish I could give that to them when and if they needed it. I’m so glad Esther gets it. I wish American humans got that level of health care too, but I mean Space Force sounds wicked cool too.

There’s some fear in letting go. Especially when you’re sinking in quicksand.
