Farm Life...Sunny....hot & humid

A.Wyse and Cinnamon sharing a mother daughter moment before Cinnamon leaves for her new home in just a few weeks........A. Wyse Ol' Goat is certainly never at a
loss for words...........Maybe that's why she's writing a book !

Snippets & Snatches...rainy...cooler

"Rainy Mondays"  don't these 2 look unhappy? These two 12 year old
"Renegades" (as my husband calls them) are the last descendants of the
original goats we brought with us to Jonquil Junction 38 years ago.
They belong in their area which is 1/8 mile away from the house.
For some unexplained reason they moved to our yard area this summer.
When the rain started early today they didn't want to walk "all that way
back" to their house so Paul scrunched into the dog house and Tanner
tried to get under the eave ( which didn't help at all!) I guess they
forgot to read A. Wyse's book which points out that goats hate rain,
to quote "we are not cows after all".

Sunday Snippets & Snatches...Cloudy...still summer :)

Today for our Sunday, Snippets & Snatches I'd like to share a poem with you my Granddaughter wrote yesterday, school will soon resume and I believe she is a bit melancholy :) 

 

As Summer Fades

 

See the fading light of summer.

Feel the fleeting breath of warmth.

Hear the gentle tree tops whispering,

The songbirds tune break forth.

 

Oh, burning sun above me,

From whence shine thy rays?

The brilliant light is waning,

And shorter grow the days.

Ye fallen rose of summer,

With petals fading fast,

Are telling me that summer is short,

Alas, 'twill soon be past.
