Wanted: Goats, of the dairy persuasion. I mean this quite literally. You see, we sold ours last summer to go on vacation (gasp!) and have come to realize there is more to life than a week spent out of your element, off everyone's schedule, car breaking down, spend too much money (vacation) kinda time. Apparently I'd rather my time be spent hauling water buckets in negative temperatures through knee-deep snow to obnoxiously-impatient animals. Or, listen to the children whine about having to haul water buckets in negative temperatures through knee-deep snow to obnoxiously-impatient animals. Or perhaps I just don't have enough to do these days.Yes, I admit, I am a cursed woman. Nope, not true at all. I am actually a very blessed woman. I consider myself blessed because I know what makes me happy: my God, my family, and my goats. The children and I read an ADORABLE book as part of our home"school" today. The Goat Lady by Jane Bregoli. 
True story.Simply wonderful. I fully can picture myself in years to come as that (very content) little old goat lady who wears mismatched clothes, in her run-down old farmhouse, tending to her goats with a twinkle in her eye while all the neighbors whisper... heck, I'm pretty darn close now, except that I'm not little, or old, and my farmhouse sits goat-less at this present time. So, anyone in upstate NY have some caprine dairy they're looking to part with? Be it Nubian, Alpine, La Mancha, Saanen, whatever. One can hardly call a farm, a farm with only 8 chickens, one rooster, a cat and a bunny. Oh, and one toad that lives in the window well and comes out to play (really!) in the summer.In the meantime, I will continue to purchase our goat milk from my dear friend up the road. It makes delicious soaps!
Welcome to my blog, by the way. I will try to keep you updated on all the happenings here at Dandelion's Acre. Feel free to have a chuckle at my expense. I hope we become fast friends :)
Well if this isn't the cat's pajamas! I love it. You must show me how to put pictures and graphics on a blog.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the blogging world! Unfortunately, I don't have any goats, but I look forward to reading your blog.
ReplyDeleteLoved your first blog post. My husband is a pastor in your dad's district and your mom shared the link. :-)
ReplyDeleteI loved your blog. I met you mom at an Alliance Womens Retreat in Auburn last year. I see you also have your mother's God given talent for writing. Keep up the good work. I also have a blog that you can find at www.zspiceoflife.blogspot.com. Feel free to check it our and let me know what you think. I am afraid that I don'tkeep it up as well as I would like because I am currently writing a cookbook and have an end of February deadline for completion.
ReplyDeleteTake care and may you and your family be blessed.
