I woke up this morning – it was 41 degrees and I was uncovering all my plants again because they said it might be a freeze – which it obviously wasn’t. I guess they need to sort out their forecasting.

Anyway – there I was when my neighbor came walking out of his house to the goat pen to let his goats out for the day. 2 goats had some kids over the last week or so. As usual all the goats went charging out of the pen into the fields. Everything seemed fine until I heard a little pathetic “Baaahaaa”. I looked and there they were: Mommie goat had been so busy rushing out of the pen that she had completely forgotten her two kids still in the pen, calling pathetically for mom. I was wondering if mom was ever going to catch on and was just about to call my neighbor back, (who had gone back into his house) when it suddenly dawned on mom that she’d forgotten her babies. On she came charging back into the pen, calling all the way as if to say: “Oh Goodness! Sorry! My bad, I’m coming!!”

So mom and kids were reunited again and it all ended well. What excitement for 7:50 in the morning!
