Chatting With The Goats

It was a spectacular morning.  When I woke it was fifty degrees.  Right now it is about seventy-eight and raining.

Earlier today friends of ours in town for a visit stopped by my house and accompanied me to Jeffers to see my friend Wade Miller the saddle maker .   I needed Wade's assistance so I could complete my latest bowl project.

It was a magnificent morning.  While there my friend and her grandson chatted with the young goats who were quite curious and very loving.  It was a delightful  treat for my friends from Denver to spend time petting the goats and taking in the beautiful view of the mountains.

Late Afternoon at the Campground

It was a busy Saturday.  We had a booth at the Farmer's Market this morning selling Ken's photos and my leather bowls. 

After finishing up some afternoon business items we both needed a break so late afternoon we headed for the campground just across the Madison River.

The wind was blowing and clouds gathering.  Fishermen lined up at the boat ramp to head home from a beautiful day on the river.

I noticed the campground was finally full.  It seems people are late coming to Ennis this season but they are finally here.

Just as we got home it rained for about two minutes then stopped.  Now it is nice and cool after such a hot summer day.  Windows are open the the fans running.

Ahh.  Summer in Ennis.

Night before last we were greeted by this lovely lady each time we ventured out our front door.  She sampled bird seed until I raised the feeder out of her reach. 

Then she simply moved on to the bushes and sunflowers.  After digging a hole she proceeded to make herself at home and chew her dinner.

Ken has made multiple attempts to restore the damage only to look out and find her back in her favorite spot after fluffing it again to suit her tastes.  It appears we may have a new resident in our front yard.  Wonder how long she will be staying?

She seems to like the shade the trees offer.  Temperatures have been in the fifties in the mornings and mid to upper eighties during the day.  Although it feels hot to us (we do not have air conditioning) it is much cooler than our friends in other parts of the country.  We are truly blessed.
