I must have writers block. These days I can't even start a new post with out staring at the blank template for 20 minutes first.

It was a very nice weekend. Jay & Lolli got up early and headed to the Portland area to pick up Dirty Deeds - our new billy goat. I was somewhat surprised when I finally saw him that he didn't look at all like the picture that was sent to Jay (coughbaitandswitchahem) Jay said it was just a misunderstanding and that the picture they sent (pictured here- two posts down) was his son from his fist litter. (?) Well, OK then.

A few of you commented about the smell of goats. I didn't think much of it at the time as our two exisiting goats don't have much of an odor, as far as farm animals go. But once I met Mr. Deeds (his name for now, I think) I found out what you were talking about. MALE goats freaking REAK! Boy howdy! that bad boy's getting a bath once he's 'done his bidness'. Apparently the odor is to attract the females. Urine seems to be his ace in the hole.

Gentlemen: Do not try this at home.

In the end Jay is over the moon about having his new goat so all in all it's worth it.

As I said before, I had better things to do with my Saturday. And that was havng brunch with Fiwa & Mo! We had a great time at Fiwa's place. We blabbed for a couple of hours and ate the great breakfast Fiwa prepared. She even set the plate of sausage near me! Always a bad idea. Yum. I love these two ladies. They are two of the first bloggers I got to know online and the first ones I've met in real life. It is a unique and cool way to start a friendship, already knowing so much about eachother before ever meeting.

The next time we get together will be at my place. I'm not sure when but I'll post it here in case any other local bloggers want to come.

The rest of the weekend was quite except for a wind storm that blew in Saturday afternoon and did some minor damage around the old homestead. My Mom came over Sunday and spent some time with us. We took the dogs for a walk and looked at the new paddock. She's heard me bitch about it enough that she had to see for herself. Of course Mom sides with me and my complaints. God love her!

My office partner broke her foot last Friday and is out of commision this week at least so my work load just doubled. Meaning I should be working and not blogging at work.

Happy Monday all!
