It's All Good

Cindy, the oldest goat in the herd, was not feeling well yesterday morning.  Diarrhea in a goat is not a good thing and the droppings in her stall were very loose.  (Not a pleasant subject, but this is farm life.)  She balked at leaving the barn and ate no breakfast.  During the day, she separated herself from the group.  I was getting pretty worried, so was greatly relieved when she rushed in last night and immediately went for her bedtime snacks.  She's had brief spells like this before and rallied.  For now, it's all good.

Linda went house hunting and found some possibilities; a couple got moved up on the list.  Some didn't even get visited as they were too far out in the hinterlands.  This is an exciting, challenging time for her, full of good changes.

"Are you guys busy?"  It was one of those great questions that precede the announcement of a visit!  One of Clay's buddies had just bought a new motorcycle and they wanted to go for a ride.  I love being a destination location.  The mild weather has held and it was a perfect day for a bike ride so it wasn't long before they were at the door.  Linda and Clay had never met.  It was funny when they each said, almost at the same time, "I've heard so much about you!"  It is always so good to see Clay.

Unless they are confirmed fans of some other shows, my guests are pretty much stuck watching whatever I choose on television.  When there is nothing else appealing, I can always fall back on TCM for a good old movie.  Last night they were playing "Cabin In The Sky," with the beautiful Lena Horne, Ethel Waters, and Eddie "Rochester" Anderson.  It's amusing to me when I realize that actors or other personalities from the past who are so familiar to me are complete unknowns to those younger than myself.  (It happens more and more frequently these days.)

Luna became very brave and joined us in the living room last night, doing some exploring and then relaxing on the couch.  Bessie was either sound asleep or choosing to ignore her.  She surprised Ralph, however, and there was some mutual hissing at a distance, but no real aggression.  That was a good thing, too.
