Ohiofarmgirl'sAdventuresinTheGoodLand-where ya been? whatcha been doin

[ohiofarmgirl]

hee hee sorry Blackbird! i'll have to go back to calling her BibBird for short!

Evita (or Vita for short) is our big ol' saanen. we just love her - and she's a great milker. of course she wouldnt be caught dead grazing... but if we bring her the weeds she bellies right up and eats her fill. however, we did sneak out of the house one day...and she was down in the weeds, grazing, just like everyone else. she ran when she saw us tho!

here's our show gal, Vita hatin on them pigs:

and here she is (shows how big she is compared to the others) with the whole barnyard diggin' into some weeds (that i brought her):

i just cant help myself. i just love my big old goofy goat.

i contacted the breeder and am waiting to hear back from him about when he'll take her back for the fall/winter. last year she went back in late august. it works out so well for us to have her in the spring/summer.. and they he breeds, over-winters, and kids her. but we miss her while she is gone. besides, she keeps the law and order around here. she's totally our queen.

Most definitely!

I had a problem with that some time ago, also. So I just started calling Leah Biblio. And every time I see Blackbird's name, that crazy song starts going through my head......................

And, yes, you're both cool........................................

What crazy song???

The country one that goes something, "Down came a blackbird -" or something like that?

 

[kcsunshine]

No, I don't even know the words but it goes something like:

Blackbirds singing in the dead of night - take my ?? heart and fly away -

Too bad we don't have sound -

Blackbird Lyrics
Artist(Band):The Beatles

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Black bird singing in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
all your life
you were only waiting for this moment to be free

Blackbird fly, Blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night.

Blackbird fly, Blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night.

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise,
You were only waiting for this moment to arise,
You were only waiting for this moment to arise


And a very appropriate song if you ask me knowing our Blackbird. I personally love this!

 

[kcsunshine]

Yes! That's it. I just looked it up, too. Thanks for the lyrics, now I can sing all the right words when BB posts.............

And, as usual, OFG's journal takes another zig zag off the beaten path..

ooops! LOL I was thinking of the song by Lila McCann!
