This is Camanna's Comet. He has every goat's dream job....he's our herd sire. We bought him as a wee little feller to come and be the man of the goat house. He's in the process of growing into his job.

We have a busy couple of weeks coming up. Saturday is our second daughter's 10th birthday. When our children turn 10 we have a big tea party. Not for our son of course, he went on an over night fishing trip with his dad and grandad. This is the second 10th Tea for our family and I had forgotten how much work it is! I still had my dress from our eldest's so only had one to build, but it's been an all week yard and house cleaning around here. Today is hemming and baking day....scones, petit fours and some kind of mini turnovers as well as a new hem in my skirt and the second in the new one. Tomorrow will be the last of the cleaning and tiny sandwich making. My longest friend is an excellent photographer and she does black and whites for us. I'll post some when it's done, and maybe a few from the First 10th Tea.

After the excitement of the tea, we will have four days to prepare for a long trip to the LA area for a memorial service for Darrin's grandma. She died two weeks ago, and the family is getting together on the 7th to remember. We are also taking the children to visit the mouse. It will probably be the only time we are ever down there, so are going somewhere we would not ever plan to go.

When we get home from there, myself and the two older children will have three days to prepare ourselves and our home to be without us for a week of camp. Daddy and the little two will be here holding down the fort so we won't be worrying about the farm, but it is always a long time to be apart. The week after that, Darrin will be gone for a week of camp, too. None of our's will be there but he will be leading the singing and generally running herd on the high schoolers.

Sounds exhausting all written out like that, but the Month of August only has swimming lessons and VBS close to home, so it should be much more restful. Who said "Summer Vacation" was a vacation? If we were real farmers we would be busy from sunrise to sunset with chores, now we're just busy with life in this time.
