What are the sheep pondering - wrong guesses only because we all know the correct answer is CRIME.

Another beautiful morning. This time with fog. And sheep crime.
A field with fog rising off the creek behind a large tree. Also a small sheep called Limu, who is trespassing.

For everybody who asked about Brick the pack goat at the festival, he's fine! He just hurt his knee and, while better, he took the chance to lose all the fat on his body and also some of the muscle, because ?. So now he has to do pt (put his feet up on things) to get extra snacks so he'll be stronk.
A very tall goat named Brick with his feet up on the gate asking for just ONE MORE cookie please.

EXCLUSIVE: The Next Big Dem Proposal: Let Kids Eat Free
School lunches were free to all kids during the pandemic; a prominent think-tank wants to bring back the idea and make it permanent.

Finch (the self help program) asked me about my childhood memory foods, so now I'm making tamale pie... But the kind my mom and grandma made that was 100% cans and 0% pie... but I'm also an adult now so I added EXTRA olives, and I'm a mom now so I added green beans 😂

The rake broke. I fixed it. The mower that pulls the rake broke. Mark fixed it. Then it was dark. I spent all morning raking, took a break to do Teams calls, then started packing hay in the barn. It's pretty, not done, and I'm a potato now.

New parts are coming for the milk machine today and I have never been so excited about such boring mail.

My phone is working again, but I also use it for two factor authentication so I can do my day job so I'm not unplugging it until the new one comes. So you get random pictures I never got around to sharing because why not!

1) My phone is broken - insists it is wet and thus can't charge. The sensor is just broken. 2) I put a thirty mile charger on the half mile fence that Bobbert and stepson have been climbing through. I thought it worked great but mid afternoon yesterday I looked outside and saw them in my front yard.

I’ve acquired chickens from people I met on social media. It doesn’t get any more real than that.

Bobbert is a great ram, except for the part where he's teaching his stepson to do crime.

Bobbert is a great stepfather. Except for the crime lessons.

Once again begging people to learn about the reasons for the ear tipping of most TNR cats instead of complaining that "it's cruel" or "there must be a better way". Stop whining and start learning and volunteering if you're so concerned about these cats! www.alleycat.org/resources/fe...

Happy lamb harassment week to all those who celebrate. They have the poops so they're getting treated for coccidia and refusing to come out of this stall.

It's been a hot minute for an assortment of reasons. 1. Kid1 got jaw surgery. Nuff said. 2. Kevin the ram was discovered to be a psycho. He killed one of the icelandic ewes, so we put him in the freezer. 3. We found a new ram. Meet Bobbert Fluffernutter (he's very polite) 4. For once no goat drama!

Final tally, she got stuck six times in one week, including twice in one day at one point. It's been a couple of days now so I'm hoping she's learned (but not holding my breath)

So these are apparently midas flies, and they look like a cross between a horse fly and a wasp, but their larvae eat grubs and the adults just eat nectar. So go nature for keeping the grubs away from my sweet potatoes!
