Simple stuff
I have been so stressed out, absorbing what is happening, wondering how best to use my skills...
I just wanted to thank CBS for replaying old college basketball games. We lost March Madness, but this is filling the time and it's fun.
I was standing in my yard last week, and I could hear my new neighbors working and playing some kind of game. They were laughing and hooting. Sounded good to me. They seem to be in lock down with extra people holed up there. They have a friendly son who is incredibly handsome--really, he should be a model--and I haven't been around any family where I could hear them laughing and having fun, for a long, long time. I really enjoyed hearing them giggle and hoot.
I had to make a food run to the drive throughs, and I left the gates open. I have two dogs and two goats in the yard. The goats and dogs have joined together in a herd, with the one dog clearly the alpha female boss.
Wherever that dog goes, so go the goats. I came home to find them all off the property standing in my neighbors field. I don't know what the dogs were doing, but the goats were eating weeds.
As soon as they all saw I was back, they came running up. They are like children, they have emotions, and it's good to be thought of as the ultimate herd leader.
I want to involve myself in the virus fight, but I worry about them. I can't choose animals over people, but I wonder what it will be like.
