baby goats with their butts up in the air all day eating hay! chickens stealing tomatoes off the plant. going for unintended goat rides. shoveling poop hay dust for hours. making and making and making raw goat cheese. eating and eating and eating raw goat cheese. gigantic teddy bear great Pyrenees dog that wants you to love him! felted goat milk soap. surprise chicken with chicks. soft bunnies to touch while you feed them tedious bunny salad. egg hunts for acrobatic eggs. and finally identifying that putrid smell as buck goat urine!
this place is awesome! we are learning lots of different things and having a lot of fun while were at it. these farmers are awesome and they have so much stuff going on its fun to work and hard not to overwork yourself. we've been here two weeks now and it feels so short.
there are a lot of beautiful things close by too... olympic national park is amazing and only a couple of hours away! we backpacked one night in the forrest and fell in love it was great! we hiked a few miles to these natural hot springs and relaxed and got stinky in the sulphery water. we drove up to hurricane ridge where you can see so many mountains its breathtaking. even the beach ten minutes from the house is awesome, logs all up and down the beach you can climb all over, cliffs above and mountains in the distance.
we got a grand tour of seattle by raul (kaitlin's friend from new college). starts with pretty water tower park, then pretty rose garden, to pretty arboretum, to delicious cuban sandwich at the neighborhood troll under a bridge, to scenic drive, to scenic gas works plus lake view, to chocolate factory to dog bar to brewery to ferry then back to the farm. whew! all the while with great company and fun car dance parties. oh and it really started the night before with burrito dinner party with friends and a nice long digestive walk.
all in all this has been a great two weeks. im excited to make goats milk soap today and voyage tomorrow to the mushroom farm!!
