- Why Is This Goat Smiling?
"Why is Jill smiling?" you ask. Because after what seems like forever, the sun emerged yesterday from behind the fog bank.(And not because she has an obvious underbite.) I wasn't the only one overjoyed to see its fiery presence back in...
- Did We Put Our Summer Clothes Away Too Soon?
Yesterday had us thinking twice about the decision to put our warm weather clothesaway for the year! With temperatures approaching 70 degrees,the goats were wishing they could take off their thick wooly winter coats. Hang in there, kids...Old Man Winter...

Puttin' On The Ritz
Yesterday was a frigid winter day...
the kind that makes everyone seek a sunny spot.
The grass remains an amazing shade of green for this time of year.
We've had no snow as of yet, and until this week, not that many frosts.
The sheep's yard is on the northern slope of a hill,
with woods to the south, so they rarely get much direct sunlight in their yard.
This works out well in the summer...helping to keep them cool.
As for winter...I doubt anyone would feel a chill wearing winter coats as wooly as these!
Nabisco...if you find this blog....
please send more Ritz crackers!
They get eaten as fast as we buy them (and not by humans!)
