Some bittersweet news from the playground. Peanut has gone on a little holiday. I found him missing on Thursday. Rather shockingly so. But Dennis soon arrived and explained what was going on. A nearby playground lost a goat and I guess their other goat got depressed and wouldn’t eat. So they have loaned Peanut to give the other goat some company. Peanut certainly is good at livening things up. I’m sad about not having him here now, but I hope he can help the depressed goat. That’s what’s most important. A good deed indeed. I’m told Peanut will be back. Soon hopefully. I don’t have any exact details really. I hope he’s doing well there and that we’ll have him back soon.

Oddly quiet without him. He’s such a big personality, the little guy. Very demanding of attention. But Palle did put a smile on my face with some silly jumping in the snow. He’s just a big baby too.

Speaking of the snow. It’s still there. Not as pure and powdery, though. Lots of ice and dirty snow. And cold. Very cold. But at least the wind hasn’t been too bad. And that helps a lot. It’s still hard for me, though. I’m looking forward to warmer days.

Now I’m tired and somewhat hurty. I think I bruised another rib and my throat has gone all stiff. I need some sleep. So let’s go to the photos.

Posing with the scarf I got from a Facebook friend.

Spot the Peanut.

Brilliant postcards from another Facebook friend.

I live just to the left of here.

And videos.

And that’s all for this week, folks. See you in the next one.

Oh the weather outside is freezing. But the pizza inside delightful. Let it snow, snow snow. Snow. It has snowen. Cold and pretty. At least the wind died down on Thursday. It’s much easier to be outside in the cold when there’s no wind. And I do enjoy spending time with the goats in the snow. Like a fairy tale wonderland. Someone should write some songs about that.

Yes, the new year is underway. And I’m trying to claw myself back to some sense of normalcy. After a holiday season of laziness and unhealthiness. There’s still some way to go yet, but at least I have started exercising again. I wish I could fastforward a month to when I’ll be back in peak fitness condition and it’ll all be easier. Or a few months to when the sun will be back. Quick, invent a time machine! Or, take your time and then travel back to right now and give it to me. I’ll just be sitting here and waiting.

Otherwise not much that I care to report. We’ll just go to photos. Starting with some shots from a very early, very cold, very dark morning on Monday as I was making my way to an early appointment at the foot therapist. Brrr.

A little bit of blue breaking through.

Not often you see all four goats at the same hayholder. Normally grandma would chase Peanut away!

Palle has a dandruff problem. Or, the first sign of snow.

First christmas tree of the season. Normally they’re super excited about getting trees, but this one wasn’t a huge hit. Maybe too dry.

Yup, the first signs of snow.

…And then the full snow force arrives.

Catching snowflakes.

Peanut’s beard may be frozen.

I do love the snow, even if it’s frightfully cold.

And videos.

And that’s all for this week, folks. See you in the next one.
