My Little Home on Hilltop Acres

Friday, October 10, 2008 - Emily's goat story

Posted by Michele

One Friday I was at work, and one of the grandmothers of one of Emily's classmates came in. She said there was a goat at their school that day. So when I got home from work, I said, "Emily, I heard there was a goat at your school today." Normally she would have just nodded, but she said, "Yeah. It pooped. There was a blueberry in its poop. It ATE its own poop!" I talked to one of the moms and she said that the poop LOOKED like little berries, but yes, it did eat the poop... Whatever floats your boat i guess...

2008-Oct-10 - Nuts!

Posted by Amy W

Its pretty quiet right now. Except for the thunking of copious amounts of walnuts tumbling out the three in the back yard. I’ve been watching Sassafras out their in the yard with buckets- diligently filling each with walnuts- dumping and filling some more. She’s about got hit a few times with the ka-thunking nuts but continues to steadfastly fill buckets. I am amazed at her diligence and stick-to-it-iveness. I doubt I’d be out there singing and talking to myself and continuing picking up (well, I would be doing the talking to myself part)- I’m sure I’d have quit after the about the 3^rd five gallon bucketful. I would probably have shaken my fist at that tree and murmured a few things when it kept showering down more nuts. I doubt I would have persevered as she is. She’s been out their for a good half hour or so. It is a joy to watch my beautiful daughter in the warm afternoon sun.
I do believe I have it in me to join her and fill up a couple of buckets.
And then
Perhaps
a bit of sweet chocolate for the two of us.
