Update from Cloverlleaf Farm Feb.3,08

Decided I'd better date these if I'm keeping to the theme. I have been dealing with some kind of malady, singles we think but it is very odd, only on my left forehead, no pain, just irritated.
Anyway the latest fun has been the two goats, blacky and whitey (grandson Sam named them when he was 8). The snow has been high enough so that they can jump over the fence. They stay mostly in the barn eating hay but sometimes cross the road, stopping traffic, to the delight of a child in the back seat of one car. They also like to lick the salt left from snow removal on my steps and peer in the french doors or go wandering around the side of the house looking for more treats.
Yesterday there was a moose sighting about a mile away. We have had several around but I always seem to miss them. Have heard this is a crossing place for them from one side of the valley to the other so I'm still looking. At least we have seen some sun the last two days but hasn't softened the snow enough for me to get a ski edge in yet, maybe tomorrow.
