Mammoth Musings

Our 5 year old Goat Jesabel is currently giving birth to kids. Lydia pulled out the first kid (boy) and is taking out the other/s right now. Lets just say that Jes is, well, bellowing a LOT.

I will try to post pictures (if I can figure out how to get them online…) and make an update.

>>UPDATE<<

Well Jes gave birth to both her kids okay, although Lydia had to pull them both out.  As I said, here are a few pics I took of the event:

Salutations, Greetings, Sup, Ciao, Howdy, and Hola!

Following Lydia’s suit, I will also post a list of books I plan to get started on this Summer.

1. Paradise Lost by John Milton
2. Paradise Regained by John Milton
3. Orthodoxy by GK Chesterton
4. Augustine’s Confessions by St. Augustine
5. Lectures to my Students by CH Spurgeon
6. The History of the Christian Church Volumes 1-10 by Phillip Schaff

7. Poems for Patriarchs Compiled by Douglas Phillips

…that Lydia really needs to update her website*. First, the last picture uploaded was done about 4 years ago, and the current picture is of about 5 years ago…

So, I was showing ‘Oni the page and I said:

K: *pointing to picture* “Can you guess who that is?”
I: *pointing to picture* “Oh, dat’s Gweta!”
K: “That’s Lulu”
I: “No”
K: “Yes, *pointing to picture* that is Lulu.”
I: “No, dat’s Gweta.”

Yesterday, playing on the grass with Greta Peter and I, ‘Ona came up to me with a handful of grass and said “Eat Gwass, Karl!” and immediately comenced chomping.  I said “No, Ona. Grass is Yucky,”  but she said “No, Eat Gwass”.  She came up to me a few seconds later coughing and putting her fingers in her mouth.  Apparently there was a piece of Grass halfway down, but still partly in her mouth.  I said “See Oni, Gwass is yucky!” and she said “Oh…Yucky. Ok Karl”  She jumped up and picked some more grass, “Eat more Grass Karl!”  I said “No!” and she ran over and picked a flower: “Eat flower Karl!!” “NO!”  She ran over to Peter’s shirt on the grass and said (while diving with open mouth towards it) “EAT SHIRT KARL, YUMMY!!!!”
