lots of stuff

I've skipped skiing this week because I've been a bit under the weather. Rio was sick all last week, and although I don't usually get sick, it got me a little bit. If I take a couple of IBU in the morning, I end up being ok, but boy, pretty miserable until those kick in. So I decided to go out for breakfast and mess with the blog before I get working. I better get moving!!

We've had lots of stuff going on at the goat, which has been great. My friend Grasshopper came up for a visit over Winter Carnival, and he and Justin spent some time hanging out. It was great. Winter Carnival was interesting this year--we didn't get snow early on and we were lucky there was enough to work with, and then it got so freaking cold that it was hard for people to work on the statues. There were a few really good ones, but I think people just didn't have enough time. Next year might prove to be kinder to the statue makers.

Here's a picture of Grasshopper...I almost didn't recognize him looking like Trapper John!



Here's Justin wearing my new sheepskin hat. He looks better in it than I do!!



Vanna looking might fine:

We are starting to get goose eggs! Watkins lays an egg every other day, and they are really awesome tasting. At first I wasn't sure I wanted to try a goose egg--it just seemed wrong somehow. I've laughed at people unwilling to eat duck eggs, and here I was, thinking there was a big difference between goose and duck eggs. I actually like the taste of goose eggs better. Interestingly, Station won't eat Watkin's eggs, although he totally eats the duck eggs. It must be some sort of species preservation thing or something. Pretty strange. But here's a picture of the first goose egg I fried up. The yolk is huge!!!
