Well the Crumpet Project has really taken off and the Crumpet t-shirt will soon be arriving. Can you imagine the excitement. We had a big windstorm and the roof blew off the baby buck shack and the baby bucks are in the barn until the farmer's back goes back into alignment and then their shed will be fixed and back down they will go. The hot wire got fixed in the front pasture and this put the kibosh on the free blackberries the milkers were eating on the neighbor's side of the fence. Willen kicked the front panel out of the horse run-in so the farmer has to go and get some more plywood to fix it."Thank you Willen," said the farmer. "I was wondering how I was going to spend all my free time and now I know." Willen kept a neutral expression on his face, always best to play it straight if you're not sure what's going on.
The Terror got put on strict lifetime probation for running down to the street and so now she never goes outside unless she is on her tie-out or attached to the farmer's belt loop. What a relief, no more ankle-biting.
The new Isabel is here and she has no personality whatsoever but at least she isn't from Oregon so we can understand her when she talks, which is never, because she is the retiring type and she spends most of her time under the feeder where she can't be t-boned by the Wrath of Khan which is Betty's new name now that she is in heat. When Betty is in heat she is the Wrath of Khan.
Speaking of heat Cherry came in heat also and she did her trademark part-Nubian caterwauling at the gate, just standing there all day playing the part-Nubian bagpipes and even forgetting to eat her dinner.
Abby my BFF decided to go in the front pasture with Pebbles, leaving me down below which is fine because it's much better here. But it hurts one's feelings. That's ok, I don't care, I have my daughter and my mother and that is really all I need.
"After everything you did for her," said my mother, shaking her head.
"She was a nobody until she met you," said my daughter.
"I'm ok," I said with gracious humble bravery, which is how I do everything.

There is a lot to be said for being humble. Plus if you are already humble, then you never have to eat humble pie, since you are already there. The Goatmother wants a T-shirt. She says she will buy one. Can she buy one? I'm tired of listening to her.
Dearest Crumpet <3 My shepherdess said she would buy me a t-shirt and she would wear one too as she knows how much I love you. Would you put us on the order page for two? Small adult (human) size please. Thank you. Forever in love with you. PG (Utterly Blessed Farm)
I can't wait to buy a T-shirt! Hoooraayyyyy!!!
Millie, if Abby is truly your BFF you should probably go talk to her. I'm sure she has her side. Beside that's what friends do.
