This is what I have to put up with every day. The chickens have to be right there when I sweep the barn floor, just in case I turn up something good to eat.
“Come on, you guys! I can’t move the broom!”
Ladies and Gentlemen! I present to you our rodeo champion, Goldie! She is on Hazel, who has never been ridden before. Goldie came out of the chute strong, staying in the saddle right out into the barnyard and half-way around the compost heap, for a grand total of 32.4 seconds! Lets hear it for GOLDIE!!!!

This morning I was sitting on my barn chair, waiting for the lambs to finish eating. Georgia was scratching around on the floor near my chair. I farted. Georgia froze, mid-scratch. Her head shot up and she whipped around to stare at me. Her face looked so shocked and disapproving! If she had lips I know they would have been pursed. And she kept staring at me. I laughed out loud. She stared even harder, looking even more reproving. The more critically she looked at me the more I laughed. Reminded me of the judgemental old ladies with their puckered up, chastising faces who used to give us kids the evil eye in church all the time.
