Goats?!?

There are goats living down the street from us.  Not on the end by the freeway, fortunately for them, but on the other end by the convenience store.  There are two of them, and they wear collars.  I’m not sure who the belong to, but I saw them a few days ago on one side of the street grazing in an empty lot, and this morning on the way to school I had to wait for them to cross the road.  It was a little surreal.  I was wanting to move to a farm, and it seems that the farm has come to me!  (We also have a chicken next door, whose purpose is termite removal.)  More details on goat sightings as they become available.

Food for Thought, and Thought for Food

I’ve been thinking a lot about food lately.  I like to spend time in the kitchen, making good food from scratch (or close to it).  Unfortunately, that often means something else in the never-ending list of house and school chores is being neglected.  As much as I know I would miss all my kitchen comforts, some days I envy women whose work for the day is almost exclusively involved in preparing food for their families.
