Daisy Gets the Goats


Daisy has convinced Phyllis to bring Luscious Kandy and Sinnamon over here to live in our barn.


They settled right into Felix's abandoned chicken pen. It's just right for the two of them; they're quite dainty. Luscious is about the size of my big cat.


At least twice a day we bring them out on their leashes to graze around the yard, preferably not in the flowerbeds. The goats are a huge block to productivity. Basically Daisy and I sit there on the green grass, under a blue sky. I never get anything done.


Luscious wants you to see that her collar is purple, with sparkles. How did this happen?

I never meant to be a farmer.

  6. Oh, this makes me smile. I think Daisy might end up having goats all her days, from this wonderful experience in her childhood. : )

  7. What fun! Daisy's hair is so cute cut in a bob. And did you make her dress? If so, can you share where you got the pattern? Happy Easter! He is Risen!

  10. I think sitting in the grass watching goats graze totally counts as getting something done. :) We should all "do" more of that.

  11. Goats are great lawnmowers! Just fence them in - and then get a miniature donkey to keep them company and be the "guard dog." :)

  12. Daisy makes me think of Heidi, one of my favorite literary heroines from childhood.
