In the mornings, the goats are moved a short
distance from the barn to the outside pen; before sundown, they’re returned to
the safety of the barn. Sometimes they follow, but more often, they run ahead
to the desired destination.
“They” can refer to all five of the goats, but
in most cases, “they” equals Blueberry, Meels, Moey, and Jubilee. Minnie, on
the other hand, is generally going her own way. She’s usually exploring and amusing
herself (her favorite “toy” is the riding lawn mower parked in the shop) while
the others have surrendered their freedom in exchange for their breakfast or
supper. But I shouldn’t be surprised that Minnie is a non-conformist: hers was
a breech (backwards) birth!

heal the heartbroken, announce freedom to all captives, pardon all
prisoners.” –ISAIAH 61:2
