Shummer Shine

June 1st, 2014

Sunny side up this week! Rather lovely. And we’re into June now. That’s the stuff. Finally it’s summer. I’ve been waiting for this. My time to shine. As the sun said to the moon.

Nothing has really happened this week. Spent some time with the goats in the little hills at the back of the playground for the first time this year. I probably already mentioned that they bulldozed parts of it but there’s still a nice spot left. It was nice lying back against the hillside and feeling the sun on my skin while listening to the goats grazing all around me. That’s where I belong.

On Thursday the playground closed for the holiday. I took the goats out in the pen on my own. I like that too. Just me and the gang. And I’m glad I can give them the chance to get out when otherwise they would have been inside for most of the day.

But that’s about it. Not much this week. Let’s go photo.


The whole gang of goats.


Herman.


Mia reaching.


Mia and me.


Mia and Mio.


Palle. I like these shots with the funny perspective where his head looks much bigger than his skinny legs. Also notice the shadow of the camera.


The bleating Palle.


Still love that face.


Kamel actually off the ground. Imagine that.


Mia on the hill and Kamel looking up.


Mia grazing.


Green feast.


The white lady of the greens is back.


Mio.


Mio.


Mio.


Kamel sneaking up on me behind the bench, hoping for raisins no doubt. She had to settle for a hug.


Is she behind me?


Mia.


Mia and Palle like ninjas.


Waiting for room service.


Me and the Palleface.


I like walking down the little suburbian side streets when the sun is high and everything is bright and lovely. Summer walks.

And a goatlog. With the goats back in the green hills and fun in the pen and all that jolly stuff.

And especially for the Debster here is a closer look at our birds. It’s the best I could do. Watch out for Bodil at the end.

And that’s Hall for this week, Oates. See you in the next one.

Palle Or AfroPalle

May 25th, 2014

It’s been a rather lovely week. Beautiful, summery weather. At least one day with temperatures so high that it’s officially classified as a summer day. So that’s nice. Nothing much has happened and I haven’t been doing much. I have enjoyed the company of goats and the effectiveness of exercise in the warmth. That’s about it. This is really my kind of weather. I’m looking forward to it getting really hot later on.

But not much to report. Had a little fun with Palle. I had an afro wig that I had used for some spoof pics I posted on Facebook. I decided to bring it to the goat pen and let Palle try it on. I was curious how they’d react to it. I remember how they were scared of the santa hat at christmastime. Maybe that was just the red colour, because the black afro wig didn’t seem to bother them at all. It was amusing seeing Palle wearing it. But then he always looks funny no matter what. He hasn’t gotten any less cute just because he’s one year old now.

He’s still a little skinny, though. On Monday the goats busted out of the pen. Mia was put on a leash. When Palle was put back in the pen for some extra food she was hollering after him like only Mia can. Loud girl! After Palle had eaten the extra food I let him out of the pen. Instead of running straight to Mia he ran inside and started eating the food that was supposed to be for the others for later! He has a nose for food. But Mia was much happier once he got back to her.

On with the photos.


Mia standing on my shoulders. She’s much too heavy for that. But how can I resist?


Sif had a hair cut. Here’s Bodil showing her off.


Mia watching a woman feed the other goats, while she was still tied down. Not amused!


Mia’s giraffe impression.


I’m watching you!


Enjoying the grass together, after Palle came back.


That Palleface.


Mia on the staircase.


Mia on the bench. I think we need a wider bench.


Palle with the afro wig.


I am easily amused.


Bodil watching Palle and Mia sitting below.


She likes that bench, Mia. Seems to be her favourite place to sit in the sunshine.


Goat hugs with Mio.


Oh Palle.


I never get tired of that face.

And a goatlog. With Palle in the afro. Mia hollering after the others. Combing Kamel and picking wool from her. No wonder she gets hot in the sun! And all that fun.

And that’s all for this boat, sea you in the next one folks.
