Taking Flight

Last week while I was in the pasture with the goats, I accidentally startled the pair of Canada geese that have been living back there.

I didn’t mean to scare them, and I haven’t seen them for a few days.  I’m afraid they aren’t happy with the goats and me spending so much time back there.

Wildlife in the Pasture

The goats are happy to be out in the pasture, as is the llama.  They are not the only ones to enjoy it however.

Don’t have a clue what it is

Just so you don’t think it’s all birds back there, we ran across this lady and her two young ones from last year.

She was amazingly calm.

After staring and stepping closer and looking at me for a few minutes, she nodded her head and gave me a hoof stomp or two.  When I didn’t respond properly, she took off.

Obviously, I’m enjoying the nice weather we’ve had by spending my time in pasture too.

Waiting for the Green

I’m still anxiously waiting for green.  I think it’s been since last June that we actually had green pastures.

The sun has been out and warmed our temperatures.

Now we need rain.  We did have a few sprinkles today, and we have real rain in the forecast for this week.

We’ll all be happier when there’s a bit of green out there.

Some birds might even be able to find a worm if we get some rain.
