Thinking Back to Summer

It's starting to get cooler and the garden is dead.
There is not much grass around to eat.
So I started daydreaming today about delicious summer treats.

Like yummy corn husks.
Oh my taste buds are singing at the thought of them.
And they are sad that they will not see them again until next year.

My studmuffin feels the same way.
You know how much he really enjoys to eat.
He has to keep his strength up you know.

Thelma was really lucky.
The publicist gave her a CORN.

They take some chewing but they are oh-so-delicious.
I will maaaaa you a secret.
The publicist always saved little corns for me too.

Bernadette and Louise shared their husks.
This husk eating was before the kids were born.
It was quieter then.

I did not forget AbbyGoat.
No one could ever forget her.

Aaaaaah, the lazy days of summer.
Oh well. They will return.

ps:  Little Harley was much better yesterday. The publicist is starting to feel some hope.

Silly Sunday - The Many Faces of Luke the Goat

You all know how much I love my studmuffin, Luke the goat.
But even I have to admit that he looks pretty silly when he is eating.

It doesn't change how I feel about him.
He is still the love of my life.

Thelma and Louise Get Their First Taste of Corn Husk

This is the first time that little Thelma and Louise have tasted corn husks. Since they only come out for us to munch at this time of year and the kids are usually gone from the Farm it was fun to see them learning to enjoy a new treat.

At first they weren't so sure about this new kind of food.
There were lots of sniffs and pokes but they eventually figured out that corn husks were TASTY!


Smart kids.

Once they realized just how good a nice, dry husk was they chowed right down.

Like good goats they explored all of the different piles since one pile might just be better than another pile.


Hey, you never know....it's possible!

Louise especially liked the pile on top of the spool.
Hmmm, I did not try that pile. I wonder if it WAS better!

Oh well, I will never know. I do know that the kids very much enjoyed their first munch of corn husks.

AbbyDay - Mine, Mine All Mine. I NEVER Share My Husks

It's AbbyDay, the best day of the week. You might as well just sleep from AbbyDay to AbbyDay because nothing else is important.


I do not understand that Pricilla.
She SHARED her corn husks with Nora the goat.
WHY would she do such a thing?!


Pffffft!
I, AbbyGoat would never share my husks with any goat. (Well maybe with my kids but only if they were very small.)
If there are husks to be had I am going to have them!

Do not mess with AbbyGoat!
If there are husks to be had, I will have them.

It does not matter if somegoat is eating them.
THEY WILL BE MINE!
Bwamaaaahahahaha!

I am AbbyGoat....I rule the goat pen.

Corn Season - We Love Husks

The male person harvested the corn from his garden. Sadly for us goats he did not grow as much corn as he did last year. I do not know why he is punishing us this way. What did we do wrong that we deserve less corn? We are good goats! We should get, if anything, MORE corn husks than last year!


Harumph!

Anyway, he harvested 110 ears of corn for the publicist to do whatever it is she does with the corn that does not involve feeding it to us. LAST year there were 347 ears of corn so you can see why we goats are so upset. That is a lot less husks for us to eat not to mention a lot fewer stalks when he cuts them down. 


Harumph again!
What was that man thinking?!


Oh well SOME corn husks are better than NO corn husks, right?

Sarah showed an amazing lack of daintiness in eating hers.
Sometimes I cannot believe she is my kid.

I chose to be a dignified goat and I even shared mine with Nora.
THAT is how a goat should behave.

I have to admit that even though there were not as many as last year they were mighty tasty.

Uhm, OK! Maybe I was a bit of a piggie goat.
But I'll bet YOU could not resist the lure of the husk.

Especially when they are all around you.

I can share. Would YOU like a husk?
Go on, I know you want one....
