Farmer Life 168

For my last post of 2017 I want to share pictures of some of the animals that I took today.  It was so COLD!!!  All of my exposed skin was hurting bad , so I didn't stay outside for very long.  That means I wasn't able to get pictures of everybody, but I got as many as I could.  I think giving an update on how everyone is doing is a good enough way to send off 2017.  This year wasn't great, but it wasn't horrible either.  There were injuries, illnesses, STRESS, loss, etc. but nothing catastrophic happened... no humans died, I wasn't seriously injured or sick, I have a job even if it is 90% of my stress load, etc.  Some good things happened too, such as getting a new car, new goats, Jackal lost quite a bit of weight on his diet, etc.  The good news is I'm content right now.  The job is getting slowly better bit by bit with new management.  I've gotten back into my workout plan and I'm losing weight and feeling a bit better in general....

I got a bunch of pictures of the cats last weekend.  They are annoyingly blurry, but I still like them.  I seriously need to save up for a nice camera.  I miss taking nice crisp, clear shots. The only picture I got of Shadow.  She didn't feel like joining the fray today I guess. I actually managed to get some decent pictures of Pharaoh for a change! He's very difficult to photograph because he never stops moving and he blends in to all of the leaves.  I LOVE his patterns!  Isn't he gorgeous??  At one point he was surrounded by goats hehe.  Finally he and his mom Emerald started playing.  They love to play!  Emerald, more often known as Emi.  He walks over to her, headbutts her and flops over next to her.  Then she grabs him by the neck, chews on him a bit and then starts grooming him.  I love her green eyes.  That's why I called her Emerald.  His expressions kill me!  She really does chew on him and he love...
