These times are going to be asking a lot more of us. The challenges we now face are not going to go away overnight and each of us need to dig deep, learn the way of love and support one another. This is not a drill. May you be strong and may you rest when necessary and may love rule your roost.

I have 70 or 80 goats staying at my place for a few weeks, clearing my 5 acres so I can get to doing native plantings here. I hope you don’t get sick of hearing about them! Here is a vid taken just after they arrived.
