Autumn
Summer was a washout but I am a woman on a mission. The branches are starting to lose their leaves and that is not good since they are a free source of food for my greedy caprines.
Each morning I take the dogs for a walk and return armed with branches for the girls.
The Toggenburgs were watching me yesterday morning and all three stood in a line on the fence waiting for their breakfast.
Unfortunately as they have not learned to share - I don’t think it is a natural instinct of the goat - I get in some javelin practice directing some of the larger branches over the heads of the eager Togs and towards two of the more reticent herd members.
My aim isn’t too bad but then again I get a lot of practice.
This wet weather over in Ireland is really not good for the goats’ feet. Three years now and they still haven’t spent too long out in the fields.
Perhaps September will be better. Optimism always helps when living in this type of climate.
