Daymn, that snowgoat video has a reach of more than 100,000 people now. 15,000 Likes, almost a thousand shares. I wish I knew how that happened so I could duplicate it haha. I guess it hit the right spot in the algorithm.
Maybe we just need more snow.
Nooooooo

Last night I dreamt of a giant, vast, maybe endless city of the elder gods, abandoned and seemingly falling apart from centures if not millennia of neglect. Fog drifting in and out of the giant stone buildings, like in a forest of carved stone.
It was pretty cool.

Good goat times today. Managed to drag myself out, despite the depression whispering in my ear to just stay in and go to bed and dream it all away. It’s been hard fighting it.
But I’m really glad I got out. It was a lovely day. A cold one. A snow one. An this time it was a real snow day. Not just partial coverage. It started snowing quite a bit while I was there. If it’s going to snow I’d rather have a real snowday and everything covered and the mud frozen. I love watching the snow fall.
Lots of cuddles and treats. Sassy pooping in one of the feedboxes. Kids calling Mia’s name at the fence. A couple new christmas trees, already picked fairly clean. Good stuff.
And then when it was time for me to leave, things got really nuts. Haha. Normally when I go I pack my camera down before I leave. But beause of all the snow, and because my winter coat has bigger pockets, I decided not to pack it down. So I could take some snow pics on the way home. Because I had the camera out I did a little filming after I’d left the pen. And I sort of half-ran along the fence. And that set off the goats. They started jumping around in the snow and running back and forth. It was. So. Good. Just what I needed to see! I can’t remember the last time the goats did one of those silly circus runalongs. I guess our summer in the horse field they’d run with me. But that’s different. This was just silly running around, back and forth, snorts and jumps. I don’t think they’ve done that since we stopped going out of the pen on walks. They’d sometimes do that when we were out of the pen. It was so great to see it again. And Sassy! She was jumping and running too. I can’t remember ever seeing her move like that! Haha. She was like a kid in the snow. It reminded me of Bob chasing Mia in the snow all those years ago. So much fun. Totally worth the frozen fingerse. I could barely zip my pocket. But I do love a good snow day even if the cold is hard on me. There’s just something about goats in the snow. And after not a single snow day with them last winter, it was good to get a real fun one today.
Now I’ma get me some elderberry soup to warm up.

You promised me the snow would be gone soon. You’re lucky there’s a fence between us.

Hey look! Thank you so much Traci Stone ! Such a beautiful card. I love your girl! Gave me a big smile when I opened the envelope.
Traci is a friend from the beforetimes. Before anyone ever thought I’d end up having anything at all to do with goats. Back when we were cool kids who were going to change the world with visceral writing, or just download mp3s from napster.
I got a few friends like that, and seeing them grow up (okay we weren’t THAT young back then but) and have kids has been a wonderful thing. The best antidote to wanting to give up on the world is seeing their kids. Because we gotta make the future better. For the children.

I know there’s not much time, but if Trump really puts an effort into it I believe he can get as many impeachments as he’s had wives. Go for broke, like your casinos.

Hey hey! Thank you so much Beverly Fish ! A lovely christmas card (our mail service has not been great lately!) and a pair of Tim Hortons socks. Apparently they’re famaous Canadian socks! They seem warm and comfy. I’ll give them a try on my Danish feets! Thank you so much for thinking of me, and happy holidays!

20,000 followers on Mia’s page. I never thought I’d see the day. My little goat page.
Our reach seems to have gotten better since I completed the publishing authorization thing too. One video around 90,000 views, another up around 40,000 and several others doing decently. It’s amusing seeing my goat pals reaching so many people.

Good soup time today. Went over for soup with my parents and brother. Always good. And now I have soup in the fridge for a few days. Yum yum. Tis the season.
My brother’s doing better from the cut. My mom just had cataract surgery on one eye and will be going in for the other eye next week. And my dad is expecting a call from the hospital on monday to hear what they’ll be doing next. He’s expecting it’ll be surgery in a couple of weeks or so.
So that’s what’s up. Hopefully everything will go well. It’s 2021 after all, the year when everything will go great!
