Musings

We made a pre-10am run to Trader José’s while it was relatively calm, before the squadrons of desperate shoppers hit the doors mid-day, then continue in rotation until Monday morning (in our experience, anyway). We discovered that plenty of exercisers visited in the same temporal window…lots of stretchy outfits, etc.

Another goat picture: busy troops.

The Kids got all excited when I took the compost out.

So, I stepped out onto the balcony late this morning to do a goat-check, even though they’re ranging where I can’t see them (this is a good thing with regard to their goal of vegetation clearing). I indeed couldn’t spot them, but I got to hear a light rain begin. That’s rather a magical moment, when it goes from not raining to raining.

Welcome to goat world. Note that the last few days the goats have done a bit of excavation.

Also, I read an academic article on knots, as a global cross-cultural technology, presented with more detail than I would have believed possible.

I made only lousy goat-photos today, so here’s a stump with fungi—illustrating breakdown eco-processes.

If our temporary pets were any good at climbing trees, these would be leaf-less twig-branches.

The “kids” have cleared a stump. And stood on it.

I was relatively busy today, but nothing to remark on. Leftovers (so no cooking, yay). [Apologies for the delayed post….]
