Of Goats & Mud:

Thanks Al Gore. All this global warming is making me nuts! Of course, I guess without it, we’d be even more than 13 degrees below average temperature for this time of year. It’d be another ice age I’m sure.

Meanwhile, the perimeter of our barn is about knee deep with mud. We’re digging trench upon trench hoping to drain some of the moisture. The goats won’t come outside for anything and they absolutely blame me for mud. I run their world and I have made it messy. Now the horses could not care less and trudge through the much in search of the best green morsel in the pasture.

Now all this mud just serves to make me angry! And when I’m angry I blame politicians. (Maybe the goats think I’m a politician….No, wait, they love me!) I’m tired of Democrats blaming Republicans and vice versa. I’ve decided to become an Independent, because both “Parties” are nuts. And why are we restricted to two parties? Who says an Independent can’t be President, or Speaker of the House? By golly, if enough of us get fed up and refuse to vote for an incumbent, ANY INCUMBENT, things would surely change. No matter what a great job we think “our” guy does, let him go and give the job to someone new. No more “power”, no more perks, benefits or other sweet deals they vote for themselves. Try telling your boss you’ve decided in the middle of the night to give yourself a raise whether he likes it or not. I’m telling you the laughter will echo for miles.

So, I’m going to calm down now and see if I can find a sewing project to report on. I’ll make an effort to post pictures….before and after if I recycle some article of clothing into something new.
