When I got there a family was walking around the place. I heard the mother say &#8220;I think it&#8217;s all closed now&#8221;. Then I told them I&#8217;d be opening up for the animals to be fed and they were all happy. <\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s always nice when you can help others have a good time there. And especially help kids have fun with the animals. They had a little boy and a little girl with them. The boy helped me feed the bunnies. As always, it takes twice as long to do when you get &#8220;help&#8221;. But that&#8217;s okay. There&#8217;s plenty of time. And I made sure to thank  him for his great help.<\/p>\n<p>It was also nice to see the gruesome threesome together again.<\/p>\n<p><a HREF=\"http:\/\/plume.dk\/pics\/displayimage.php?pos=-4841\"><img WIDTH=400 HEIGHT=300 SRC=\"..\/pictures\/thumbs\/2008\/080223_goatsinside_th.jpg\" ALT=\"goatsinside\" TITLE=\"goats inside\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Now that Poul the buck is gone, Mads is back with the girls. There was a note from Per saying that if Magnethe gave birth then we should &#8220;make a bed&#8221; for Mads in his own booth. But that wasn&#8217;t necessary. No kids from Magnethe yet. And I have to say I&#8217;m okay with that. As lovely as it would have been to find a &#8220;litter&#8221; there today, I would rather if she waited till Monday when there&#8217;s more supervision. I would be scared to leave them alone if they had come today. But it can&#8217;t be long. I&#8217;d be surprised if nothing comes this next week. I think Magnethe is good and ready for it too!<\/p>\n<p>Other than that there is not much. Quiet weekend, quiet life. The storms have died down. I have to say I was well pleased with myself last night as I listened to the stormy winds and the NOT banging of the boards next door. You never appreciate the quiet until it&#8217;s not there. But when it comes back? It&#8217;s twice as good.<\/p>\n<p>Tomorrow I shall hopefully be visiting the parents for a pot of mama&#8217;s brilliant soup. If they have been able to procure the ingredients at least. I saw on the news a couple of days ago, the national news no less, that people don&#8217;t want soup hens anymore. To cook soup from. So now the hens are being destroyed by a fancy machine that travels from farm to farm. And instead of being sold as soup hens they are ground into a bloody pulp and sold as dog food, or something like that. So that explains why my parents have had a hard time finding soup hens indeed. Luckily there are other things that can be cooked soup from, so I&#8217;m crossing my fingers for tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>All work and no soup makes Plume a skinny boy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I had a nice time feeding the animals today.
