Peaches the Nigerian dwarf goat. Peaches is the mother of two sets of triplets and a set of twins. She has raised all the kids on her own, demonstrating her can-do spirit. She’s quiet and friendly unless she needs to assert herself and is rarely in a baaaaad mood.
P.S. Wiggles the Chinchilla got the most votes and won by a hair.

It was
a horrible day in washington that i’ll never forget.
a wonderful day in georgia that i’ll never forget.
and now
at last
in the light and the dark
of the very early morning
of the very next day
our new president and vice president
have finally been confirmed
and I’ll never forget how light won over dark.
“yesterday I dared to struggle. today I dare to win.”
-bernadette devlin
i’m proud of my country – it dared to do both.

today, as i walked downtown,
the kerrytown bells played ‘the star spangled banner’
cars honked
church bells rang
farmers at the market chattered
drummer drummed
people cheered, cried, laughed
fireworks shot off in yards
the air was light and it was electric.
