a norwalk in the dark

the view outside my office window when I returned to work..A little smiling tug never hurts..

Finally feeling myself again after a most dreadful and virilant bout of norwalk or norovirus..Not the recommended way to reduce pounds..and most unpleasant in a heat wave..This terrible virus struck my whole family down like dominos..thankfully we are all mostly better ..makes one appreciate health and it's bounty.

Although the doelings have a romping area at present they share space with the pots -and there is much chasing around and mayhem..While we wait patiently for fence guy to do his thing we have been walking the goats around on leads so that they may have some pasture time daily

they are certainly more calm and connected with us now..sigh

Luna being herself

flowers are awesome..my energy to pull weeds..not

the chicks are maturing into...^ gender still unknown..but they are content thus far

my daughter..bonding

steamy days

I am a mere hour away from my first day back at work and feeling homesick already. my stomach is queasy too..but more from the heatwave..so glad we don't have a second floor as our mini fans would not do the trick. yesterday our critters had the right idea...

the warm temperatures encourage floral splendour

goodbye little put put ..I know I said I don't get attached to cars but this was my first ever car and ultra sensible and dependable (sigh)

Luna is losing her shyness

a little makeshift rain shelter-just in case they don't want to share indoor space with piggies in day

dirt bath heaven..can't you see now why I don't want to leave?

Stella and Luna ..welcome home!

After much anticipation and fretting aout proper fencing and habitat..I brought "The girls" home...they were a little overwhelmed for the first two days from the brood here already (and missing their mom and other goat friends) By yesterday they seemed at ease and more playful and inquisitive..

these two are so nicely connected as sisters/pals

Luna in tree

as the boys were a little uprooted with the new additions..I offered a full body massage to Winston

ahh that's better...

is it really a yard sale ?

Dropped off my daughter to work at this downtown event yesterday..It claims to be the world's hottest yard sale..but it truly is a huge sale of downtown merchants with a little clearout trashy stuff to boot..however on the positive side..the street is closed to traffic and cars do not rule for a day! Also a few local entertainers from dancers (who hip hop energetically and smoosh their faces on pavement (ouch!) to blues performers make the day lively ..my daughter offered a free craft- masks to make for local kids..and seemed right in her element..

Shriners make a wonderful photo op in red

The bearcats..groovin..

Lilies add some nature to the mix
