Thank you for all your kind words and thoughts. I am very greatful to have known her, and am glad she’s no longer in pain. Her family seems to be doing okay, and I’ll just keep wishing them peace.
The weather has been beautifully cool- we’ve spent lots of time outside. You can always count on [...]
For Erika

My friend, and pet-sitter extraordinaire, Erika Gardner, passed away today. Not sure exactly how old she was- just between 50 and 60. She came over here from Germany when she was 16. I loved her accent. She had a battle with pancreatic cancer. Almost 2 years ago was her first diagnosis with it. Her round [...]
That’s the end of THAT nest…

See that buldge in that rotten snake’s neck? That’s an egg. Eventually he slithered away, and the other egg was retrieved- but that was yesterday, and needless to say, the girls did not lay there today. Sigh.

The guinea girls were a little unhappy with the heat, too.
Every once in a while something causes them to switch where they are laying their eggs, and I didn’t find the newest nest until yesterday- actually, my daughter and her friend found it.
That’s 42 eggs sitting in the 95+ [...]
The goat days of summer

You can actually feel the weight of the air when you walk outside. The sky is no longer crystal blue, but that kinda non-descript whitish/greyish/bluish/hazy color. It’s summer in Virginia. Today was a half day of school for the kids- and their last day. I think I sent them upstairs about 30 times. It’s gonna [...]
Could use some happiness…

There’s been alot of sadness this week, so let’s try something happy.
That’s the baby donkey, and “he” ended up being “she”- so Jasper is now Jasmine. While we were there today she started running laps in the field- I think she did about 10 before she stopped. She’s getting used to my kids, who all [...]
