Today's blog link is Mountainfarmstead. At the head of her site is a quotation I might be tempted to steal for myself:
“A journal always conceals vastly more than it reveals.
It’s a poor substitute for memory, and memory is what I would like to nourish.
But if I do give in, this is what I have in mind. I want to count the crows in the field every afternoon.
I want to record the temperatures, high and low, every day and measure the rain and snow…”
Verlyn Klinkenborg ( THE RURAL LIFE )
If I counted correctly, today's blogger is still shy thirty names for this year's crop of kids. (Those are baby goats for you suburbanites.) If you have suggestions that begin with the letter "T" she wants your input. So far there are a Tallulah, a Tully, a Tyler, a Tia, a Tya, a Tuppence and a Tommy. If the rest are anything like other goats I have known, they are probably being called things that begin with many other letters than T, so stop on by and save them from the ignomy. Stop by in any case for the goat pictures and a little taste of farm life.
