Yesterday, Ursula brought little Dixie over to meet us. She’s tiny! We told Ursula what a pretty lamb she is. That made Ursula smile.
Ursula really fooled Mom this year! She still looked just like in the second picture when Mom and Dad went to bed last night.
Summer arrived in the Ozarks practically overnight. It’s hot—really hot—and Ursula’s going to have her lamb next week. She’s fat and grouchy and thinks she should have a fan right now. That’s one of the ways we stay cool.
The past few weeks have been scary for me and Uzzi. We’ve had storm after scary storm! Uzzi hates thunder, so we cuddle in our Port-a-Hut while it booms across the sky. But our Port-a-Hut is firmly pinned to the ground so we’re safe.
Mom is snuffling and sneezing because she has pollen allergies. Guess what she’s allergic to? The nice oak trees that make our yummy leaves! Because she’s feeling down, Uzzi and I decided to share one of our favorite goat tales with her (and you).
Our sheep were supposed to get shorn today, but it rained last night so now they can’t. They’re relieved and upset at the same time. They don’t like to be caught and rolled into all those weird positions, but they say it’s nice to feel the cool breeze on their skins afterward.
I visited a friend’s house today for a little garden tour and a lunch date. I love to see other people’s gardens and find out what they have going on.
