Good Evening Everyone;
A long day for me... "resting".
I am beginning to hate that word. (Especially as I watch my grass wave in the breeze).

A bit of catching up to do. Bear with me, I am a little behind...


Casey came out Thursday afternoon. We took a ride to Brandy and Johns. I had wanted to see her goats for the longest time, and never availed myself.

Brandy is laid off from Carver Boat. She has worked there forever- The layoffs affecting so many people.
(But with that, I knew she would be home).

Miss Ashley met us almost as soon as we'd pulled in. Such a beautiful smile she has, and showed me one of her little bunnies too.

And yet another bunny!
.
.
.

They have more than a few!
.
.
.
As we walked out to the pasture, the animals all came to see us.
(Well, some of them did).
.
.

.

CUTE!
.
.
Miss Ashley decided to pull a few handfuls of grass and dandelions.

They absolutely LOVED it!

Salad for goats!
Who knew?!?

.
.

Dinner by the handful! hehehe
.
.
.
The sheep in the back (left) seemed so fat-
I asked Brandy is that one was expecting?
No- She just hadn't been sheared yet.
.
.

.

.
.
Even the cows came to have a peek!
.
.

.

Isn't that baby goat just 'to~die~for' cute?
.
.
.

.
.
John took a break from mowing the yards and came to chat too.

Brandy, Casey, Ashley and "The Lawn Boy"

Even the chickens are very tame!

(A far cry from visiting our Hortonville friends as youngsters,
wreaking havoc in the henhouse as we'd chase their chickens).

John had just returned from a Veterans vacation/retreat up north at Lake Tomahawk. John is Marine Corps, Vietnam. Salute.

He had many pictures of the cabins and amenities at Tomahawk to share with us.

.
.

.
.

Then they brought out "TOES" the kitten.

.
.


He would not hold still for love or money,
But if you look closely you will see his paws are like mittens.
He has extra split toes on each front paw!
So very cute-
And calico too! (My very favorite).
.
.

Brandy took us to show off her pigs.

She has many medium size ones...
(Sorry, but I didn't take pictures of them all).
.
.
.
.
.
.
And she has a few extra large ones too!
.

Mmmmm Anyone hungry yet?
hehehe

Casey and I came back home; and to add to our day, we found this little guy right in the garage- For some reason, they cannot find their way out, even when the darn door is up. They come in, and think they can fly out the window.
I got out to show him the way...

Casey had her hands full keeping Punk from coming straight through the dashboard to 'save' me as I caught it and brought it outside. (Otherwise we would have a picture of a "bird in the hand"). hehehe

I got out of the car to offer a bit of guidance...

For now, I must go find a bit of supper, my tummy is growling to rival the dog!

I hope everyone had a "wunnaful" weekend!

Have a good night
Love to all.

XOXO
Me
