My pets.

You know how you can save some money on goat feed? Sit outside with the goats and read and not pay attention and then find out that your goats are in Farmer Browns soy bean field munching away. I don't think that Farmer Brown would mind too much. From what I hear the soy bean crop this year in this part of WI has been bad. To much rain and the beans did not or have not dried yet. I guess the bean are supposed to rattle in the pod before they harvest. I opened up a pod and the bean are soft, not dry. I pulled the girls off the field and showed them some yummy dried grass and leaves. They happily munched on that. The kittens are getting brave. Well, Colby more then Harvey. While out with the goats Colby followed me and was out in the woods by the house. Harvey came out and did a little exploring but mostly wanted in my lap.

Colby climbed a tree. It's her first tree. That made me think of the time my sister Alicia's cat climbed a tree and Alicia was sure that her cat was stuck in the tree. I asked her "How often do you see a cat skeleton in a tree? Trust me, cats know how to get down." Alicia ended up putting a pillow on her head and getting on a ladder so that the cat could jump on her head! It worked but I was laughing at her! NOT with her, AT her.

I don't have a picture of Abby. She was also out but she was out in the wood digging up gophers or chasing squirrels. She would come back with a mouth full of dirt, want a pet and then back to the woods she would go.
