We put up a game camera tonight to see if we can get a shot of what might have killed Clara the goat. Her buddy, Heidi, is in the barn with the horses and we’ve instructed Mr Freckles and Sassy to take turns on watch. We’re learning there is likely no such thing as “predator proof” but we are hopeful tonight’s set up will work. Thanks to everyone who posted today, I’ve read all your comments. Lynn told Lily a coyote ate Clara and she’s dead, very matter of fact as if it’s just a part of life - which I guess it is for us now. Lily said “that’s sad” then moved on to playing with her “nice ants” as she is a real bug lover. I’m sure I’ll be holding my breath at dawn during barn-check.
“What kind of farm do you have?” Im still working on that answer. My daily life is a balance between laughter and even more head scratching. It was so odd to see our male goat doing this to our cow’s face but even weirder to see her standing there taking it.
I like to keep my brain sharp, and reaction time fast, on this farm with the omega 3s in the fermented cod liver/concentrated butter oil from @greenpastureproducts which has been in my daily routine for 15 years and ended my chronic battle with cavities.

The kids mastered riding their bikes without training wheels over the weekend, so of course they had to challenge daddy to a bicycle duel. “Daddy, what tricks can YOU do?!” This is what ensued.
I like to keep my bones healthy and strong in case I fall off my bike doing tricks as someone in their mid 40s. That’s why I take the fermented cod liver/concentrated butter oil from Green Pasture - it’s packed with food-based vitamins and minerals as well as omega 3s, made the way our ancestors did it.

The kids and I just finished a weekend of door knocking to get the word out about the proposed cell tower in our neighborhood. I know I have a background in talking to strangers professionally but I have to tell you, it’s exhausting. On the plus side, I’m getting to know a lot of my neighbors which has been very cool.
Don’t forget you can help by sending an email to our county telling them you oppose the tower. Just reference Blue Sky Towers Application # CU-2026-00003. Email [email protected] by 9/10.
What would you tell your neighbors if you were door knocking like me? I’d love some ideas!
