was a stellar day outside. it got up to 81! and there are regular, gusty winds on a daily basis, but today it was calm. it was sunny. i ran around in a dress. and i asked Joel:
"Will you come into the goat pen with me today?!" to which he replied "Yes! My love!" and in we went 😁 for the first time, we finally decided to get up close and personal.
It was great fun. NEW FUN!!!
When we first walked in tho, we were cautious. not in fear, but just wanting to be smart. they have horns. they are animals. and i'd never hung out with goats before, so i walked gingerly, toward the tiny Adora. Then the others started coming up closer.
They are SO SWEET! all of them. there are 4 total now. the very smallest, Adora, 1 of the 2 females, looks like a little deer. At one point when Joel was petting her, she started leaning her head into his leg, just standing there wanting more. THAT was really funny. Also, the boys will put a leash on her at times and walk all around the farm with them. she is very chill. they all are pretty chill! Except for the Adam, the original male. he's still establishing his place with the new male. they all get along fine more often than not, tho.
We climbed up onto a fallen tree and Adora walked around below us. Adam was off playing with the tire swing, pushing it with his head, hooking one of his horns into a hole he knew of in the bottom and whirling it around. The other two, the newer ones, were just laying down, looking around. When we left the log, Adora followed Joel again, all the way back to the entrance, where Andy had walked out to and was watching us- all smiley! about us being in there, and about his goats. he loves them to bits. he's always going on about how cute they are!
Spending time with Joel in this way was an actual vision of mine come true. so satisfying. funnest time on the farm YET
LOVE!
