What is up, buttercup?<\/p>\n

\"buttercup\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I hope you’re enjoying your weekend. I am enjoying mine. Today, some pictures of Vanilje’s triumphant return. And others.<\/p>\n

\"vanilje\"<\/a><\/p>\n

She’s getting to be a big girl. But still small. And less threatening than Magnethe and Mads. You can easily tell that when there are kids and visitors at the playground. Mads and Magnethe are big and intimidating if you’re not used to being around goats. But Vanilje is little and cute. Maybe it’s because her horns are still small.<\/p>\n

\"vanilje\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Almost as tall as Shermin though.<\/p>\n

\"three<\/a><\/p>\n

That is my joy, three goats out and about. I love that.<\/p>\n

\"vanilje<\/a><\/p>\n

Vanilje being taken out for a walk. I don’t really think it’s nice to put her on a leash like that. But permission was given from Kurt or Per so I couldn’t exactly step in and tell her off. It didn’t last for too long at least. Goats are meant to be free. Run around. That’s one of the things I like about Vanilje. She’s slim and energetic. Mads and Magnethe are more heavy and slow. They don’t run a lot. And when they do run then they stay “grounded”. Left foot, right foot, left foot. Vanilje sometimes gets excited (for no particular reason) and starts running around. With both feet at the same time. You understand? A jumping run. That’s fun.<\/p>\n

\"vanilje\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Maybe that’s why she also sits down a lot. Magnethe doesn’t lie down often. Mads does it especially if the sun is shining and he’s a bit tired. But Vanilje just does it a lot, she doesn’t seem to be really tired. She’ll just come walking along and then lie down next to me for a while. And then get up and walk on. I have said it before, it always makes me feel “accepted” when they sit down next to me. Baby lambs and goat kids, they always sit down together. In groups. So it makes me feel part of the gang when I am sitting down with them. Yes. And it’s a great opportunity to stroke them. Just sitting down and relaxing together. Good times.<\/p>\n

Kurt and Magnethe there. And the girl, she’s been at the playground before. Oldtimers might remember I wrote about a girl who was always happy to see me and when she said things then she’d sort of bounce up and down like an excited exclamation point. That’s her. Not bouncing so much this time, but still nice to see her again.<\/p>\n

\"mads\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Mads at the beach. No not really. At the water fountain.<\/p>\n

\"mads\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The kids like to make waterways in the sand. Dams and such. And then they turn on the water and watch it flow down into the systems they have built.<\/p>\n

\"vanilje\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Aand there’s Vanilje again.<\/p>\n

Thanks go out to Clare<\/a> today. She sent me a nice card and some tasty treats. I feel well spoiled. <\/p>\n

I saw a cat in our yard a couple of days ago. Moomincat? He walked by the door. He looked like Moomincat. Unfortunately I had my hand full with warming delicious soup. By the time I got to the door to check, the kitty was long gone. I’d like to think that it was Moomin. Maybe he still checks up on me from time to time.<\/p>\n

There was something I wanted to write about… but now I can’t remember. Don’t you hate when that happen? Senility sets in slowly, said the smiling Superintendent.<\/p>\n

Oh well. Maybe it’ll turn up. Bye for now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
