Crazy Little Thing Called Love...

After the morning's daily chores of milking goats, washing dishes, sweeping the floor, and beginning the school day, I sit down at my desk in my studio to begin my work day. I usually try to check in on this webpage to see if I have any messages first. Then, I scroll through Facebook, checking status updates, comments, and replying to messages. Once that is cared for, I decide what aspect of creating needs my attention the most.

It is about this time, that Thing Number One and Two scale my leg or leap onto my back with their needle-like claws out. Do not be fooled by the balls of purring fluff. They are pointy on five of their six ends and quite unpleasant on the last one. Roamer and Acadian would not dream of my working in solitude or with both of my hands. They curl up onto my lap or into the crook of my arm and hold me hostage. What's that? You scoff? Well, the evidence speaks for itself...

*THIS* is what happens if I move my hand to attempt real work. Acadian does not even need open her eyes to stick her sharp little claws into my hands in warning. It is a wonder I get anything accomplished some mornings. So, late feeding the animals? Blame it on the kittens. No posts for the website? Kittens' fault. Jewelry unfinished and in disarray? Yup... kittens. ;)

It took me three days to get this finished and uploaded, but I wanted to share the goings on around the pastures. Asher is in full bucky rut. He is rolling his lips, blowing raspberries, and sniffing around every doe he can get near. Sean has needed to replace the solid wood doors between the buck and doe stalls again. Asher bashed his way through it last night once more. There is no stopping a buck in rut. *Shakes head* At least the season is short and winter is coming...
