To my dismay I must reveal what has happened on my little farm since I last posted….the little goat that I posted about last week, the one who was born on a snow filled December eve and came as such a surprise and born so tiny, has left this world just as quickly as he came in.
It’s so hard to write about this, I love each and every animal so much and truth be told sometimes I wonder why I put myself through it, being surrounded by so many farm animals…but I guess
I just can’t help myself, I am drawn to them and the sense of wonder and peace they give me, there’s nothing like it. I can be having the worst day ever and just seeing sheep and goats in the field or having one of them waiting at the fence for me to pet them or give them a treat makes my day…in the end it’s all worth it.
I haven’t had much time lately to write {in my blog or journal}, make soap or do too many artful things, but it’s because things in my life have changed quite a bit in three months. I have taken a job as a full time live-out nanny for one very precious little girl. My boys are grown {well almost} and as I was just explaining to a friend in an email, I miss those years, so the work is very satisfying. I’m not at the farm as much nor do I have as much time to play around with my computer or camera either, so the posts have been quite spotty I know, but I will write or share photos when I can.
Sorry to bring such sad news my friends, but I thank you for listening and I will leave you with lovely memories of photos I had taken last year…..
