It’s been a quite quiet week. Not much going on. At all. Lovely weather. We had some super warm days. It’s been raining tonight and it’s a little cooler, but still nice and summery. I’m enjoying that. Winter is but a distant memory and the woolly socks are packed away, out of sight and out of mind.
Enjoying the company of the goats as well. I had some fun trips around the premises with all of them free. I do like to just stroll around and keep an eye on them as they wander around. I do my best to keep them out of trouble. It’s hard work but someone has to do it. All in a day’s work for a goat herder.

Since there’s nothing really to talk about I’ll just copy another Facebook post. Since my Mia was on my mind.

“Have I mentioned lately how much I love Mia? It could be self evident, I guess. She’s such a wonderful goat princess. Her whole history, how she came along just when I needed her. How confident and wonderful she was and is. How much we bonded. Her Facebook page and the good people I’ve met through it. She’s such a big part of my life. I get so happy every time I see her skipping towards me with a wagging tail and bobbing ears. When she tries to lick my face because she knows it cracks me up and I can’t help giving her raisins. Hey dogs do it, nothing weird about it. Right? Good. People at the playground tells me that she bleats after me long after I’m gone when I leave. And I can hear her hollers echo through apartment blocks as I walk away. The same way she hollers when she’s tied down and Palle goes away. I don’t know if she sees me as family or just a giant raisin dispenser. I don’t care either. She’s my darling. I can’t say no to her, that’s why I still let an almost two year old goat jump up and stand on my back. Explain that to my chiropractor. Worth it, though. She makes me happy. As all the lovely goats we have do. So if you wonder why I’m constantly posting goat stuff, this should go about 1/1000th of explaining it. Plus they fun. They fun a lot.”

And now go go goat photos.

Got my eye on you, Herman.

Kamel’s reaction to me being out of peanuts.

Staring contest with Mia.

Down in front!

I see the light.

And it is good.

Guess who’s got the raisins.

I still don’t know where Waldo is, but I think I spotted Herman.

Busy being Mia.

I’m helping.

And Mio too.

Palle enjoys the leaf.

A lot.

We’re free! Run for the hills! FREEEEDOM!

Watching the goats.

Sitting with Mia in the sun.

Bliss.

Mia and Mio clearing the weeds.

What are you having, partner? Playing bartender with Mio.

And a goatlog. With leaves dropped in the pen and goat adventures into the freedom.

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

Somewhat of a quieter week. After last week’s reading glasses and Bodil present successes. Not so much has happened this week. We did get a nice visit from Sigrid at the playground. I haven’t seen her for ages. Since she stopped. She’s very busy with the vegan place. But it sounds like it’s going well. Hard work is better than no work. It was nice getting to say hello to her. I miss having her around. I’m glad she still follows the goats through my Facebooking too. We are not forgotten!

Had kid visitors too. Several boys enjoyed feeding the goats. Sitting under the apple tree. The apples aren’t very big yet. But they are perfectly sized for a goat mouth. There was one boy who told me he could never remember my name and would it be okay if he called me Ali? Haha. I said sure. I should have suggested he call me Goatman, like some of the other kids do. I wouldn’t mind that catching on. Just put up the goatsignal if you need me.

Fun times.

It’s been a warm weekend. And by weekend I includ Friday. The sun is back, at least for now. It has made for good exercise. Effective, exhausting, exhilarating excercise. I really need to buckle up and make July and August count. Hard work and discipline. Yup, that sounds like me alright. We shall see.

Let me quote my Facebook post.
“I am a snowflake. I cannot change the direction of the storm. I can just do my best to land gently on the ground. I am a snowflake.”
This is my new mantra. Snow is calming. Snow is soothing. I like imagining myself as a falling snowflake. When the storm makes me sad or upset. Just gently fall. Let it fall through you. I am a snowflake. I am doing my best and I will be okay.

And now for something completely different.

Herman in the grass.

Kamel in the grass too.

I like that spot. Mia with the sun and the shade.

It’s a bird! It’s a plane! No, it’s tasty leaves!

The goat princess.

I wonder if the grass is greener…

Mia close.

Mama Mio.

I think Palle wants to stand on my head.

Maybe they just want the leaves.

A little mix of the goats in the sun and shade.

Peekaboo, Herman!

Trying to trick Palle into thinking I’m not taking a photo. Don’t think he’s buying it.

The boy who wanted to call me Ali. Getting apples for the goats. Kamel would rather try on her own.

And a #Palleface to round things up.

And the goatlog. With Mia and Palle trying to ruin my neck. And Kamel terrorizing the picnic table repeatedly. Mia eating apples. Herman trying to undo Mia’s leash. And other fun goat adventures.

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