July 20, 2007 – So the new thing is that every time I come out of the back door, goats are there to say hello. These guys are pretty nice, and pretty appealling. I’m glad they’re here. Some of the sheep took off in the upper pasture this afternoon, spooked, I think, by some animal in the tall grass. Took Rose a half hour to round them up. Rare occurrence for sheep to take off like that, and rarer still for Rose to let them.
