Too Dry

We are still really dry.  I think I’ve had about a half an inch of rain in the last six or eight weeks.  I’m not sure how the grass is still as green as it is.

My poor oak trees are turning brown. I’m afraid a couple of them might not survive this.

There’s been a few days that we’ve had dark clouds teasing us with the idea of relief.

But it just stays cloudy and doesn’t give us any relief.

We still have a chance of some rain tonight, but it is again a really scattered hit-and-miss kind of rain.  Here’s hoping for anything.

Goats in Pasture

Since we’ve mowed the Back Forty, I’ve let the goats out on the back part again.

They are really enjoying it.

Even though we have horrible dry conditions, they still have lots to eat out there.

Not only is it good to eat, they can enjoy lying down and rubbing on the grass.

Apparantly Bubbles has been watching her maa, Mary.

Like mother; like daughter!

Penelope tried that too, but she couldn’t help but grab a blade of grass to nibble on.

They spend a crazy amount of time out there wandering around and napping and eating.

Some of my June kids go out; some are still staying in the barnyard.

Myson, as usual, was glued to my side.

At least, this is one fence Hera isn’t going to get stuck in. Thank goatness!

I am really  happy to have Pluto back with everyone.  He’s such a sweet little guy.

We’re all enjoying the mowed grass.
