now then

I thought you might like a little update on Lily of the Valley and her babies.
The girl, solid black, is Azalea.
The silver boy is Campion.

You last saw them at 6 days old:


According to the calendar,
this Sunday, they will be 6 weeks old.
I counted twice.
I simply cannot believe it.

Cannot.

I need to adjust my mental chronometer,
so please join me on this short trip
down Memory Lane.

and now:

By the way, does that last picture
remind you of anyone?


"Are you referring to me? Pah!
Only a kid would waste time chewing on shirt-tails.
I became a Grown Up Goat, overnight,
when Azalea and Campion were born."

I know, Tsuga, I know. But...
if you ever feel inclined to tug on my shirt-tail again,
I won't mind a bit.

  3. Adorable! You are so blessed to have such gorgeous friends to care for. I'm also amazed they are 6 weeks old (56 years on a typo). :)
    Thank you so much for a good smile and laugh

  5. I absolutely adore them! All three of them of course. Some day I would love to have a goat too, is it difficult to take care of them?

    1. Well, you have to have at least two, as goats are herd animals are are not happy without another goat for company. So right there, you've got twice the trouble...but on a good day, you've also got twice the fun :)

    1. I know the feeling, Boud. Tsuga, Lily's daughter born last year, looks so much like Lily sometimes I have to look twice!
