Seasons That Stay

It appears this Summer is here to stay. I love an endless Summer. I lived in San Diego for almost a decade; which fortified my passion for life sans seasons. However, when my first child was born I knew the life I was living would have to change. I traded in year round sunshine and a high rise condo for a couple of mild seasons and a small fixer upper house. Back then there were no goats, just a small collection of cats, a few dogs and eventually two children.

We don’t always find ourselves in sunshine. There is no denying that life has a way of forcing new seasons upon us with little warning. Many close friends are leaving the state for new opportunities while many others are facing life altering decisions and circumstances. Lately there have been so many changes happening around me I feel a bit wind blown.

Over the decades I have craved stability and yet it has mostly evaded my life. One of the reasons I love my goats so much is that they have turned out to be a solid foundation. They keep me grounded and have brought me a focus like nothing else. Who knew it would be a herd of goats, tucked away in the mountains, that would lead me to such a joyful place.

I am so excited with this season of my life, I have entered my eternal Summer. The goats bring me sunshine when the world is otherwise dark, and for that I will always be grateful. Visit us soon and maybe you will feel their warmth shining upon you as we hike together.
