Friday evening, I saw a single line of hoof prints in the lane. Saturday morning, I looked out to see goats on the hill. It’s been a month since they have been out of the barnyard, and they have been horribly cooped up with the cold. That means the sudden warm weather had them a bit crazy.
When they saw me in the barnyard, they raced back. You know, on the off chance I might have had treats.
Pluto, Sidney and Casey in the lead
Then it was a free-for-all.
Wanda and Cutie fighting in front. Sidney and Pluto trying to figure out how Moira got on the fallen tree.
Purl leaping off the tree; Cupid racing under it; Wanda and Sidney fighting.
Zinnia and Cutie (half-sisters) fighting by my side.
Moira won Queen of the tree; Tansy leaping off; Daisy in front staring down Hilda; Pluto and Wanda fighting behind the tree.
Pluto, Wanda, and Purl on the back tree stump; Sidney looking on.
Tansy and Moira in a re-match of “Queen of the Tree”.
All the activity got Xerxes wound up too.
The frost made the tree really slick. Purl watching her maa, Hilda, make a not very elegant dismount.
To be continued…
