If you look close you can see a boy among the leaves. Under-the-fig is his favorite reading spot lately.

In other news, we bought two goats yesterday. Clove, the tan one, is an Alpine/Nigerian Dwarf cross. Cedar, the darker one, is out of Oberhasli/Nigerian Dwarf parents. These girls are the perfect size for city farming. They have wonderful feisty curious happy personalities. And they are something called F1. I suppose I will now be learning exactly what that means. There is some controversy in the livestock world about breeding true, F1, F2, and the subsequent declining utility of each generation. I don't know. But these girls are marvelously well suited for our situational smallness. They'll be bred for kids soon.
