Is'nt it quiet

when the gen-o-rator is turned off, yes the electrickery is back on  human is happy as he has come home from work early and we are happy as the linesmen who came gave us sandy witches with cheese and red things, yes I know we should not but it would be rude not to .
Human is runing around getting ready for tomorrows party, he getting a new what ever and wants to see the old one go and see in the new one in , I wonder if what ever it is will come by courier.

Gen-o-rator

to the rescue, with a degree of confidence human announces that he will start gen-o-rator , purely to run the deep freezer of course. Within seconds its humming away , we have light ! and I presume a running freezer.
Its still very windy and will stay windy says human, its going to very bad and we will have to stay indoors,human says he will stay in doors too and will watch a television, whatever, lucky we have a gen-o-rator then

Wind

humans are busy muttering about the wind,personaly I dont mind the brussels sprouts but hammer,nails and lengths of wood are extreme measures but by the way he's working gales are due,again. The calm before the storm however was enjoyable we all went up to the woodland for a mooch about ,saw a squirel ,deer and wabbits, lots of them, thought it a poor joke about getting carrots and pastry.Some of the trees had blown over in the last gale and human says he will cut them up for burning in his pen.
well we're all hunkered down for the night and the wind is getting stronger, I hope our barn doesnt blow over or that'll be cut up for firewood.........

Peaceful

day yesterday ,so nice and quiet, a nice breakfast a cuddle off the human and my apple.
But today is boxing day, haven seen human thump anyone today,yet.

What the heck..

 It’s just on midnight, there’s a noise out side , is that someone breaking in ? all of us are awake, defiantly something or someone making a noise ,the door is opening, slowly, a shaft of light silhouettes a figure hardly moving for the weight of a large bag over his shoulder. “ Oi” I shout, hang on goats don’t shout Oi, but before I can gather my thoughts there are more shouts of “who are you “ “what do you want?” everyone has joined in, the horses, cats, my lady goats and even the dogs we are all speaking human.

“Shhhh “ says the old man with the sack “it’s the magic hour ,at midnight all God’s animals speak,

  In the barn on Christmas Eve, After all the people leave,The animals, in voices low, Remember Christmas long ago . Its an old poem you see “ and he sat down with us and recounted the verse. And when he’d finished he was gone, leaving just a memory and a gift, an apple.

I like apples.

Merry Christmas two and four leggers.

Mayhem !

Mrs human has been in and hidden some fancy boxes, exept she's not telling whats in them , it is tempting to jump out and have a look but after the telling off I had over the apple thing I'd better not.
at least the top-net-book-lap is back after human borrowed it to look at the amazon, just how do you deliver a south american river...
As far as us goats and horses are concerned its a special night to night, it got chilly again and the wind is getting up. us goats are snuggled up, the horses are pulling at the hay nets and trying to ingore the cats curled up in the corner of the stable . Out side the ducks and chickens have been quiet since darkness fell,just an occasional quack, even the 2 dogs are standing guard in the run expecting something to happen........

Doghouse

I heard naughty words when human came in to feed us , he help up the apple box ,then shouted at us all, a lot , but we got breakfast then human got all the other stuff hidden out and took it all away, serve him right I say , cats say that he had put it all in the log store, now that is asking for trouble...........

Got it !!

one thing about a very flexible neck is that I can reach things that are juuuust out of reach. After much contortion I got it , the red box with what  human said was an apple in it , well I can tell you it no way looks tastes or smells like an apple .
I somehow think I wont be getting breakfast today, I wonder if I could blame the cats.............

Stanger and

stranger, human is still at it , hiding stuff around the barn shaking boxes and telling us whats in them , as if we'd know, the only one that sounds interesting he said was an apple, I like apples, I wonder if I can reach it..
As soon as he goes indoors the cats will come over  and no doubt tell us more about the tree,yes a whole tree Human has taken into his pen , its too new to burn, is he going crazy ?

Creeping

about and looking furtive, human is up tp something , hiding boxes with bright wraping in the straw. Coming back moments later and checking, most odd behavoiur, just too far to reach and have a look, yet...

Melting

snow and all the water is running down the yard like a river, so funny seeing the cats tip toeing trying to stay dry, more amusing was the dogs sitting "guarding" the backdoorstep and getting covered by snow falling off the roof !
Not so big and brave now eh ! meanwhile back in our nice comfy beds..........

Bright and

breezy, human is all bouncy and jolly , not a care in the world, a day recuperating has done him good . we've been given greens from the garden, nice clean beds , loads of loverly haylage and he left the lap-net-top-book convinient to my pen, no coersing the cats, as if you can coerse a cat, must be Christmas the way he is behaving.
More snow last night it getting deeper by the day, the horses are enjoying it, glad I'm inside.

A Bear

with a sore head is the best way to describe human today, we must bleat quietly, he's very quiet, no singing or jollity either just a mumbled " morning" and thats it, feed in the bucket, hay in the rack and he's gone leaving the smell of freshly brewed coffe wafting on the icy breeze..........
More snow is falling this afternoon , humans been back out to check on us , should have been the other way round in my opinion...

Oh dear Oh

dear oh dear oh dear, Human has come home this afternoon by taxi car and seems disorientated,fallioverish and loosed tounge , looks like the company staff christmas dinner went well then , thankfuly his judgement in feeding us tonight is on the rather generous side , and isnt it lucky the horses know their own way from the field ........
He's gone off to his pen muttering "why? why? never again " looks like a long lie in bed tomorrow

winters icy grip

continues, and human has come home with the gen a rator, its not an animal but a big green machine that whirrs and smells and makes a light bulb glow, this he announces will provide us with light and keep the little people in the talking box awake, and by the sound of it keep us awake too. Nice to know he cares though.

It wont stop

its still blowing and there is sleet in the rain , its oh so cold and damp outside, for those with two legs!!!!
Human is talking about getting a gen a rator , none of us have heard of such an animal, what does it eat, how big a pen will it need ? he says we need one for the winter, the last thing we needed for a short time was a cow, then he ate it ! Hmmm

I bleated too

soon ! getting back to normal, ha ! yesterday was starting as a nice day , then it froze , human was slipping about on the ice to our amusement , should try 4 leg drive ! then as if by magic the power went off, again , the logs from the shed opposite our pens were disapearing into the humans house , no radio, no interwebnet, no comedy human...... what a boring afternoon.
Whoopee  the elecktrikery is back on and the wind is now getting stronger, will this ever end ? still a nice warm bed awaits and the little talking box is chattering away.

deep and crisp

and even, the snow that is . we've all been out side in the snow, its the nice kind of snow little granules and dry sort of thing, any way its great for running around, rolling,play fighting and bouncing off the girls . human is hitting things to make them better, he was on the roof and we all waited , and waited , but no he didnt fall off.
Things are gettting back to normal, well as normal as it will ever be here.

Followers

I have a follower,apparantly, Hello to you and of course hello to all the other readers who mail me especialy those of you of the caprine persuasion!

I have been chastised for not thanking them , I will make amends,so hi to "Lizzy has a camera" shame I cant message you direct but after all I'm only a goat you know.

White out

and then the the electrickery went off , human came in again gave us all a cuddle and said goodnight , darned horses got a carrot each ! the power was off for a long time and when daylight came there was stuff blown about the place, what a mess.

Stormy

The wind is strong the roof is shaking and crashing up and down, human keeps coming in and looking up, the people in the little talking box say there has been wind of 163 miles an hour up in the mountains the biggest wind here is 93 miles an hour and there is rain and sleet,even the horses are in to night .Human says he wont sleep to night,, well that'll make 5 of us them

A sad day

its still cold and horrible and the oldest of the girls is getting stiffer and her joints have been painful since the weather took a turn, human gives her a warm blanket and extra bedding and lots of attention, but today she said she didnt want to see another winter and be a burden, after all 13 summers and lots of kids had been a good life.
Human came to see her this morning and spoke softly to her and gave her a cuddle , he cried , a lot, so did we .
This afternooon the expensive lady came and human put us in the horses pen ,we knew what was happening and said our goodbyes to her, she said not to be sad as it would be a peaceful thing in her own pen and near her freinds.

Goodbye Bella,god bless.

Lunder

and frightning, flash ! crash ! bang ! what a storm during the night and still it snows, human comes out to see if we are ok, we give him the wide eyed scary look , its worth a few carrots and calming words, come daylight fresh snow has covered the yard and the only pawprints are the cats as they come to report that human spent most of the night under his bedding hiding from the storm , ha ha no carrots for him then.
The wind is chilly and blowing through the barn, its not good, time to cuddle up together, wish it was summer.

More

snow and it's getting colder human is dressed up in big thick coat that makes him look like a yeti ,but the cats say in his pen he burns trees to keep warm and takes his coat off,  so in the spirit of animal / human cooperation they sit on him to keep him warm, so they say....

So terribly

WRONG  " tomorrow human says it will be sunny"  well imagine our suprise when we woke up this morning and looked out at  THE SNOW !!! sunny ?  so in the spirit of all things caprine we stand at the door and bleat that we want to go out knowing human will have to eat humble pie and fluff up the beds.

Mr Grumpy

our human is grumpy, very grumpy . He's cold and wet, the weather is wintery and the wind is blowing from the artic, meanwhile our beds are warm and comfy....  the horses are back outside with thick rugs , tomorrow human says it will be sunny and we can go out too, wonder if we get a rug ?

Pinch and a punch

it's the first of the month, soon be christmas, are we getting excited ?  well the countdown is on , human is talking about a tree for the house and decorations too , what do we get ? well....... 
theres talk of the special christmas lunch, all of it from the garden and farm yard, plenty of veggies in the garden and thankfuly I'm not a turkey or goose come to that, and who's going to tell them, best not to eh?

The horses are in today as the man is coming to trim the hooves and annoy human by wanting more money than last time. I like horses, couldnt eat a whole one though. ha ha , thats a joke
The darkness is arriving sooner in the day, to day it was here mid afternoon and the lights did not come on , oh well , aan excuse for a sleep
