What’s in Your Trunk

We downsized in the goat department this weekend from four to two goats. The goats didn’t really like the van ride but the kids thought it was funny. Please excuse my partially clothed Maggie…she has been into the “stripping off everything” stage and we are all tired of fighting with her about it.

Buttercup

My children really like the movie The Princess Bride. The main female character is Buttercup and since Petunia’s family tree is flower names the name works well for her daughter. Here is a picture of Buttercup and Zakita.

Lunch Time with Mr. Tourtoise

The dirt road leading to my property is about ¾ of a mile. This was the fourth Gopher Tortoise we saw on the way home from one of our doctor appointments.  I really love living out here!

While typing this post…

A couple of land surveyors arrived at our home to barking dogs, goats trying to jump into their truck window and chickens hoping for a handout. As with 99% of the people who have driven up our road, they were lost. I really do see the humor in a land surveyor not knowing where a particular property is located.
