Westi saves the day! Mom’s Day, that is …

Mom asked for pictures of Westi’s house for Mother’s Day and well, that is what she’s getting. I had something else up my sleeve but I spent too long tearing up the house looking for my passport in anticipation of making Costa Rica a reality (thank you Mom and Dad!), and I didn’t get it done. (Didn’t find my passport either.) But Westi sent pictures and saved the day. Their new house is very beautiful and oh-so-close to us. And, as Westi has mentioned more than once, she has a spare room for when you come to visit, Mom. Enjoy the pictures and have a wonderful Mother’s Day. Wish we were close enough to spend it with you.

These goats are for you, Michele!

Congratulations are in order, Michele, and I’ll have to work on a graduation post to honor your hard work and accomplishments. For now, I’ll post goat pictures as promised … so you don’t have to look at snakes anymore. Poppy, Misty, Sweetheart and Tulip belong to our neighbor, Vaiva. We’re considering sharing them with her. They came down for a visit with the notion being they would nibble contentedly from the giant pile of blackberry on the property that is waiting to be burned. They spent most of the day completely ignoring the blackberry although they did munch some from the other burn pile of redwood branches. Mostly they looked up the driveway, bleating pathetically for their mom to come back. Very sweet!
