Leaf gathering with goats
After the first frost,
the leaves start to fall faster.
The goats and I are both
intent upon collecting as many as possible as fast as possible.
Our methods differ a
bit, though. I rake and bag so I can easily transport my haul back to
the chicken coop.
Artemesia and Aurora
just nibble, nibble, nibble to digest at their leisure.
We both get the job
done, though...as long as nobody cheats!

So I see Abigail has disappeared, are you eating her or did you find her a home?

The great disappearing goat
Eric --- We did indeed put her in the freezer. As soon as it was obvious one of Artemesia's kids was a girl (to be a new companion), we took Abigail to the butcher ASAP. We liked her, but life has been so much easier and more pleasant without her --- the right decision!
