Misadventures with Goats
Last summer I got the idea in my head that it would be a good idea to get some goats. I could put them in the vacant chicken housing, they would eat the weeds and all would be right with the world. I found someone who was selling 3 dwarf goats so I loaded my…

Facebook – Welcome Back
All these people welcoming me back to Facebook. I’m getting a creepy, cult sensation. Not that I’m angry or upset about that. It’s nice to know that you were missed. But it’s still a bit creepy.

29 June 2014
Sadie was chewing on something just now. I took it away from her, but I have no idea what it is or what it goes to or how ruined it is. …And I just found out. It goes to my food processor. Lovely. Today was a good day. I went out to the coop this…

Climate Change
This climate change debate annoys me. Although “debate” isn’t quite what’s happening here. There is no debate. There’s the officially sponsored side shouting down anyone who opposes them. It saddens me that so many people are still falling for officialdom’s lies. I mean, I can’t even get a weather report that’s accurate for more than…

Swimming Pools. Movie Stars.

Thoughts on Ibsen
It’s like Ibsen’s personality was split and shared among the 3 dogs I currently have. Scotty has Ibsen’s loyalty. Sadie has Ibsen’s playfulness and friendliness. Jasmine has Ibsen’s companion-ness.
