I can't give a fig yet- but it is budding up quite nicely!A catchy title might make up for no excitement posting. Today was "band the boys" day. Whole process went well - no excessive screaming (from the goats - DH and I almost never scream) and didn't have to cut any bands off due to misplacement (DH has steady hands while I h
old the front legs and head of the victim - I mean patient). Picture of Nubiana and her little girl I've been calling Blondie (I'm so blessed original with naming critters it is a gift -perhaps a spiritual gift?) The two kids mock fighting are two little gals - Bubbles is the brunette and the other is "remains to be named" daughter of Castena. The three very alert kids were awakened by a rushing attack from Conan the Destroyer (our very 
lonely rat terrorist who has become a bit of a bully with the goat babies). Flip and Snicker are the two leaning over our chain link fence to nibble the honeysuckle plant - a big reason I cannot have anything growing on the vast expanse of chain link fence - because goats feel it is their calling in life to defoliate all fence lines. Now I'm sure I've made your day - with my random sillliness - wonderfully quiet Sunday, good church service, tasty brunchy meal 
here at the house and quiet afternoon (watched White Fang the movie and read a book). I love days like this - if I believed in reincarnation - I'd think I was a cat in a previous life - except for the whole licking yourself and being very flexible thing. It is good on Buhlalan

It must be a good day--you had me giggling over here! So you have goats...just for fun, or do they serve a purpose? I"m wondering what kinds of animals I could/should have at my house in Ethiopia, and goats have crossed my mind. Am I crazy?
You may well be crazy (I think several philosophers have written about the insanity of being a Christ follower) but keeping goats isn't a hard thing to do - our goats are mostly an agricultural tax exemption and pleasant livestock. They are also meat goats (the banded little boys will eventually go to market). If you like it - goat milk has been a staple in most cultures. Not sure about climate in your particular part of Ethiopia but fiber goats provide hair to spin into yarn to make woven cloth. Glad I facilitated a bit of a grin for you - my purpose in life is often to be the class clown
I'm giggling, too!!!! LOVED the pictures of the goats!!! My sister has the goat fever and it's such a joy to watch them.
Thanks for visiting my blog today! It was great to see you there and to read your kind, encouraging words!!!!!

Funny post! I love your goats - love the long soft ears...
A lovely day in Buhl-a-land for sure! And I think Ethiopia is a perfect place to have goats....for what ever the need may be. Milk, meat, browse eaters!
Reading a book and watching a movie, yes, nice day indeed...oh, and best of all, watching goats play!
Hubby and I have the same routine as you when banding our sheep!Those husbands with steady hands are mighty 'handy'.....
And if the girls don't find you... Oh wait, I got in big fat ugly trouble the last time I said that. Well since I was catching up on the last two posts and I read the Creme Brulee warrior one first it was a good thing I waited to change. You are too funny today.
