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.
The neighborhood is a little quieter this week after local schools started back up again. We homeschool, so on the “first day of school” yesterday, we visited our friend’s farm and milked her huge Brown Swiss cow. We took so many “classes” in that short 30 minutes. Science, math, spelling, nutrition, even gym class!
We just sold homemade superfood chocolate at our first farmer's market. Here's a look at what it was like - and what we learned for successful sales!
