On Sunday, a gal who last year bought one of our goat babies, took our whole herd of four goatie girls home to her farm an hour southwest of here. We helped load the girls into the truck, waved goodbye, and then Sophie and I went inside and curled up on the sofa and cried. [...]
What the heck is going on with the moths around here? A week ago it was cicadas. Now we have luna moths. I’m serious! Everywhere we look we see beautiful luna moths, winging their way through the forest, day or night, high or low. Look at this one I managed to photograph before it flew [...]
Fancy, our currently lactating goat, still, still, nurses Sally, her daughter. Sally is over a year old and is bigger than Fancy, but she still gets down on her knees to get to the Golden Udder of Mama-Goat Goodness, several times a day. Fancy is about the sweetest goat ever. I’m starting to think she [...]
Every thirteen years the red-eyed cicadas come out of their holes in the ground in a sex frenzy and they don’t care who knows it.

I’m considering selling the goats. I know, I know, it’s a tragedy. I love my goats! I adore the fresh milk, and, oddly, I enjoy the work of going out to the barn and feeding them, milking them, taking care of them… They are so sweet and fun, if stubborn and absurd, but still, I [...]
After a year+ of a building break, we are starting out next project: the bedroom. At least, that’s what we call it. There’s the yurt, the bathhouse, the Noah House, the tool shed, and soon, this new structure, built on the backside of the yurt, to house our king sized bed and some much needed [...]
After an hour or two of hanging out, watching some tv and just being silly…
…it’s time for a walk.
Maybe I should call it a run?
Two of the best things in the world about having a puppy [...]
Wait, come back here, you—
There he is! Our fuzzy doodlebug, Henry! Yes, we finally named him. Although Paul is not on board with ‘Henry,’ the kids voted and I decided I was sick of not being able to call him, and as my Mom pointed out, [...]
Meet the newest member of our family:
He doesn’t have a name yet. Willie, Finn, and Mr. Snickerdoodle have all been tossed around. I’ll keep you posted.

"Dusi's Wings" April, 2003. . . .
"One thing fantasy can do for us is to give shape to the mysterious in the world; another is to make emotional yearning concrete. The early sections of "Dusi's Wings" do just that...there was a strong grasping towards the spiritual in fantasy here that was very promising, and I look forward to reading more by Lassiter." --review, Tangent Online.twitterage
