Lately, I’ve been missing Fellsmere. I’m this odd mix, with one foot in the city and the other in the country. I get restless when I have too much of either one. Right now, I’m missing my mom’s ranch – the horses, goats, neighboring kitty cows and starry, starry nights. I want to swim with my pony, drink sweet tea and eat fried green tomatoes. I want to sit on the porch and watch the fireflies, while the crickets chirp and the scent of orange blossoms flood the air. I’m missing Fellsmere something fierce. It’s a good thing I’ll be there next week.

Tekserve wasn’t able to recover most of my photos, but I got really lucky. They retrieved family photos (yes!) and several of my Fellsmere photos, from my last trip to Florida. They’re a couple months old but I never shared them on here…so, here they are!

Unfortunately, you’ll have to meet my horses another time. All they could recover were the photos of our goats, Thelma and Louise. This is Thelma. She’s the most hilarious goat I have ever met. She loves to butt heads with everyone (gently), give kisses and follow you around like a little puppy. I love her.

Louise is the dainty, girly one. She’s a bit shy but always sweet.

Thelma doesn’t have a shy bone in her body.

Her favorite games include butting heads, chasing me around and pushing me out of her goat house, just to push me back in and repeat the process. She also loves chewing my clothing, when I’m not looking. What can I say? She loves fashion.

She also loves Bobby. And his hat.

Miku! She is a free spirit. I let her roam the property. She always comes inside with mud and leaves stuck to her.

Homemade swings are the best.

Sorry for the plethora of pictures…I guess I’m just a little homesick!

p.s. I’m in Los Angeles for the Unique LA craft fair…if anyone wants to come out this weekend, I believe I have a few free admissions to give out!
