It’s been hard to come back here- it just didn’t feel right yet to write a blog post that wasn’t about Steve after all of that. But I am going to post now- with just a little bit of Steve.
I had a dream last night. It was the goat show we have every summer. Nothing unusual. Pat and Steve (of course) were there. Steve picked on me just as much as usual. All of our goat friends were there- it really was just a normal goat show. I often have dreams like that about my brother- just normal daily stuff- but he is healthy and happy- as Steve was in the dream last night. I figure it is their way of letting us know they are just fine where they are- these are happy dreams, not sad.
I don’t think I’ve told you all about Cocoa Puff and Courtney, have I? 2 baby Jersey Woollies.
Cocoa Puff
Courtney
They are a little over 3 months old, so it’s time for their first shearing.

Between these 2 tiny wonders, I only got 1 oz of fuzz. After a few more collections, their hair will be destined for this beautiful fleece I got from Brice at the goat show a few months ago.

Hot Chocolate was the cutest, sweetest little kid doe- I got to hold her in the show and fell in love (something I never do with goats).
Alright, that’s it for now. Actually, there is much more, but for now I must be my test-knitter persona, Esmerelda. There is a book coming out, and the author (speak up in comments if I can say who you are) is keeping me very busy. And she’s a bit of a slave driver, so if she asks, I wasn’t really here…
So I leave you with Sirius Black and little Floppy- he looks great, doesn’t he? Have a great holiday weekend!
Sirius Black and Floppy
It’s so good to see you back Mindy – missed you out the in the ether. The new furkids are adorable!
Much love from our home to yours,
Marri
I never heard of Jersey Woolies — and of course now I’ll be trying to figure out how to smuggle a few into the house with out hubby noticing. Hold me back…
Marri- thanks! Which reminds me, I need to see what other people have been up to…
Jerseys are irresistable- once you’ve seen one…
I am glad you posted too…..the grieving process takes time, but I think you are so right, I think God gives us dreams & visions about the loved ones we have lost as a way of easing the pain. And I believe sharing those dreams as you have is good therapy for you. All you need is God & time….He is our Father in heaven and He will heals our broken hearts..Psalms 147 says “He heals the brokenhearted & binds up their wounds” ……take care Mindy, and keep posting, I love hearing about your critters & reading your blogs…..love&prayers, Dee.
Thanks, Dee.
