We are back to desperation and terror I’m afraid. As my eyesight has gotten worse again. I think it’s just about as bad as before the last acupuncture treatment. So now everything is hard again and the dread in the pit of my stomach is back. But I will try to keep keeping my spirits up. What else is there to do?

It seems that when there are tiny improvements they never last. Which makes you wonder if there is anything you can really do, other than postpone the inevitable. Like throwing pebbles in the river, it will not stop the stream. But I guess you have to keep trying. If you want to stop the river. From going blind.

Meanwhile there is a video from yesterday. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3s99Pqm9Gc. The sweet goats. Fun with them. The goat boys running up and saying hello. Vanilje and Magnethe would have done the same if they weren’t tied. Watch out for mama sheep and Leo too, keeping respectful distance to the mighty goats. There are also human visitors. Some girls petting the goat boys. They didn’t know that the raised tails are a sign of happy goats. “Ew, they keep showing me their butts”. Hehe. Cute. They ask me if I’m not afraid that the goats will butt me, and I say no. And Sigrid comes with the bucket of water. The boys went at it, as you’ll see. There is also some kind of lawnmowing machine going off on top of the dirt hill that leads up to the residential block up ahead. It spooked the goats. The boys ran away as fast as they could. Magnethe wanted to run away too, but she couldn’t of course. So she just ran around in a circle. And then watched the machine. She quickly learned that it wasn’t dangerous. But the boys kept running away every time it came back. And speaking of mowing the lawn, you’ll get a nice view of how Finn likes to mow the lawn. Munch munch. And finally a little looksee at the growing piglets. Hope you’ll enjoy all that. I realize I’m not posting many pictures anymore, but video is just easier to handle these days. It’s harder to get good shots when you can’t really see. Making videos is like painting with a broader brush. If that makes sense at all. And it’s easier to get on the blog with a little editing and a quick youtube. But there will probably be more pictures when Magnethe gets her kids. If that ever happens. I am starting to wonder if it’s not just a bad case of gass…

Nothing much new. My sight is a little worse. I hope it will survive until Monday and the hospital examination. We are looking into maybe getting another week or two of acupuncture with their old method. We’ll see what the acupuncturist thinks anyway.

Today I spent a good, long time in the sun with the goats. It was wonderful as always. Nothing cheers me up quite like the two goat boys running up to greet me. Big boys. They were running around constantly, tiring themselves out. When Sigrid came with a bucket of water for them they practically drank the whole thing in one go. Well, they left a little for mama Vanilje. Magnethe wasn’t thirsty at all. She just checked the bucket to make sure it wasn’t food and then she turned her head away with a slightly snobby look on her face. “Not good enough for me… away with it”. She has high standards.

And that’s about all.

What color are your eyes anyway? Mine are brown and my husband’s are blue.

Billy’s are blue-gold, John Boy, Frankie, and Snickers are all brown.

No walkies last night as we just got home before a storm blew through. Snickers was mad. She blocked my husband’s way, nipped at his pant legs, and then reared up on her hind legs. “I want out, out, out of here!”

We shut the barn doors up so it wouldn’t rain in and we could hear her kicking inside and then the three goats popped out the smaller opening with her behind them.

I didn’t think she could get out that opening, but she was out this morning. She could get out that opening easily when she was smaller, but it’s getting harder for her now. I think she was mad that the goats could get out quicker than she could.

We have had lots of rain. Water standing in the fields again, some flash flood warnings, and more rain tonight and into Wed. morning.

We need some dry weather to work on all of our outside painting projects.

Debster – I don’t even remember what colour my eyes are. Brown I think. Or blue. I’d go check in the mirror, but you know how that’d go.
Snickers has sure got a strongminded head on her, hasn’t she? Better stay on her good side!
We got a little rain today, after some very hot and sunny days. The clouds went away quickly though, and there has been more sun. Typical Danish summer weather really
