Relaxing outside with a good book

It seemed like a good idea at the time:

The llamas and goats would peacefully graze for a bit, while I parked my hiney in a chair in the pasture and read my book:

Silly me, what was I thinking?:

There now. See that? This is exactly what I had in mind. Peacefully grazing:

Uh oh:

Hi Pete. Got an itch?:

Ok, that wasn't too bad. Off he goes:

But wait. Back so soon? And with a cohort:

Hey Reggie:

Oooof, when did you get so heavy?:

Go play, you guys. I just want to sit here and read for a while:

That's lovely, Pete. I appreciate how delicately you have placed your hooves beneath my underarm:

Little boy, you don't even remotely FIT in my lap anymore:

Oh hey, Kai-Kai, I'll bet you're wondering what all the fuss is about. You don't want to sit on my lap, too, do you?:

Ahhh...finally. Now, what page was I on...:

Doh! Is he coming back again? Maybe if I pretend not to see him:

Hey again, Reg:

Noooo, no book chewing!:

Dangit, this is a library book, too. Me and my stupid ideas:

Ow, that's my foot:

Ok, maybe now I can read more than half a sentence..:

It's lucky he's so cute:

Has anyone ever told you that you are very persistent, Reggie?:

Pete, meanwhile, has found himself the coziest spot in the pasture:

This is one relaxed goat:

You're my sweetheart, Reggie:

Love you, Pete:

And even though I really thought I wanted to read my book today, I'm instead completely captivated by your antics:

As is Dolly. She thinks you're both pretty cute, too:

I finally gave up on my book for that day.
Kai and Pete set immediately to discussing the plan for the next day:

Clearly I have no say in any of it.
