Made me feel bad about myself. I feel like it has been following me around all day. Stupid dream, go away. I don&#8217;t even remember what it was about. But the feeling still persists.<\/p>\n<p>At the playground, the goats were inside. Kurt told me that they had been getting frisky with the visiting kids. Especially Magnethe. He thought maybe she was getting in heat again. In any case they had been a bit too rowdy, so they were put inside. &#8220;If you think you can control them, you can take them outside again&#8221;. Hah, control goats? You don&#8217;t control goats. You just try to control the chaos that surrounds them. Anyway, I took them outside and they behaved quite well. One of the adults that was visiting with the kids came over and told me so as well. Said that I seemed to be a calming influence on them. Heh. She asked me if I was a <i>goat whisperer<\/i>. And I totally am. Or I want to be anyway. There are dog whisperers and horse whisperers and even ghost whisperers. So I want to be a goat whisperer. <\/p>\n<p>Soon after that the kids all left and the playground became quiet. The goats layed down and enjoyed the sunshine. All three of them. Idyllic.<\/p>\n<p><a HREF=\"http:\/\/plume.dk\/pics\/displayimage.php?pos=-4053\"><img WIDTH=400 HEIGHT=300 SRC=\"..\/pictures\/thumbs\/2007\/070327_vanilje_th.jpg\" ALT=\"vanilje\" TITLE=\"vanilje\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Seeing all three of them lying down like that reminded me of a picture I took a couple of days ago. Another panorama pic, of all three goats on the slope. I deleted it, thought it was too similar to the Magnethe panorama picture. But now thinking about it, I quitle liked how they were standing there on the slope. Their colours. They have such nice, distinct colours. Like three delicious flavours of icecream. Vanilje is vanilla of course. Magnethe is chocolate. And Mads&#8230; what is Mads? He is the secret ingredient I guess. I tried taking another picture of them all three together. But do you have any idea how difficult it is to get three goats to stand still for a photograph? Especially if you want to take it at a distance. Because even if you do get them lined up fairly well then inevitably at least one of them will follow you as you start walking away to take the picture.<\/p>\n<p><a HREF=\"http:\/\/plume.dk\/pics\/displayimage.php?pos=-4050\"><img WIDTH=400 HEIGHT=300 SRC=\"..\/pictures\/thumbs\/2007\/070327_threegoats_th.jpg\" ALT=\"three goats\" TITLE=\"three goats\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>So that picture doesn&#8217;t really illustrate the icecream flavour feeling of their colours. But at least all three of them are in it.<\/p>\n<p><a HREF=\"http:\/\/plume.dk\/pics\/displayimage.php?pos=-4052\"><img WIDTH=400 HEIGHT=300 SRC=\"..\/pictures\/thumbs\/2007\/070327_vaniljegirl_th.jpg\" ALT=\"vanilje gir\" TITLE=\"vanilje gir\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Vanilje with bouncy-girl. She had a loaf of bread and was breaking pieces of it and giving them to the goats. She was planning to give most of the bread to the horses though. But Mads hassled her until she dropped the bread, and then he started munching on it. Tsk tsk Mads. You bad boy. Kurt came to the rescue and got the bread away from him. Mads is a little too big to tackle for a little girl, no matter how much she bounces around.<\/p>\n<p><a HREF=\"http:\/\/plume.dk\/pics\/displayimage.php?pos=-4051\"><img WIDTH=400 HEIGHT=300 SRC=\"..\/pictures\/thumbs\/2007\/070327_magnethe_th.jpg\" ALT=\"magnethe\" TITLE=\"magnethe\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>And Magnethe.
