It takes several blogs to cover my interests. Below are the links and brief descriptions: 1. My Fighting Carcinoid Cancer blog (http://fightingcarcinoidcancer.blogspot.com/) is all about being a cancer survivor. Up until March 2011 I had no idea that so many types of cancer impacted so many people in so many ways. Chances are excellent that …

The Goats Figured Out — I Didn’t
Our critters are a mess -- but in a good way. They make me laugh. They make me cry -- from simply stepping on my toes to tragically dying in my arms. My goats have taught me how tenuous life is; but, they've also taught how to enjoy every day I have with them. Probably as …

For instance, I just got in from feeding everyone hay when I noticed that my favorite male goat, Lester, wasn't eating. That is sooooo not normal for him. I knew immediately that something was not right. Upon closer inspection …
Had a Farmer Day
This morning was a draggy morning. I just couldn't get going much less get organized. Then the chores started raising their heads. My first chore is to free the chickens then feed them. Since I'm in the front yard I check on the goats, making sure they have water and they're all OK. Remember, if …
