Another Peaceful Day
San Diego has the most amazing weather, and this year has beat all records for mildness. We have yet to experience a "real" summer, and by that I mean days that are scorchers with temps in triple digits and humidity in singles, for days on end. Instead, we have had the cooling marine layer in the morning, followed by sun mid-day, a pleasant sunset, and then cool, foggy nights. Everyone has been sheared for the warm weather, so most of the critters spend the day hanging out in the shade. Here (above) two of the buck goats watch as Rizado reaches for some tempting pecan leaves. Lani has her usual "huh" expression.
Dusty has picked up on the slight commotion and moseys over to see if he can grab the branch. He is taller, and - as expected - managed to connect (below), pulling the branch down so that Rizado can grab a bite, and the goats can hoover-up any stray leaves.
Eventually the tiniest llama, Lilly, shows up to see if there is any left for her, but too late - Dusty has let go, and everyone else has to wait and wish.
