Your column, yes to me it is a column, is my morning cup of tea. It helps me smile, focus and review the beauty of life. There is nothing mundane about life.

Hi, Kelly,

I've been following you for a while now. It started because I watched 9News regularly and, even though I identify as not Republican, I felt you tried to give thoughtful information and perspective to whatever topic was being discussed.

Then you added Welby to your family. And Welby is very cute.

After that came the foundling farm morning duck parade, and I was hooked. And then the goats. I have a friend in Virginia with goats. Hers are more textile oriented than food oriented, but I enjoy the bonus of baby goats as I follow her adventures, too. (If you're interested, check out Giant Cricket Farm on Facebook. There's also a llama named Hercules that the baby goats like to climb on.)

Anyway, not sure how this will or won't help you define your audience. I at least wanted you to know some of us are still figuring things out as we go, too.

I'm looking forward to watching you grow into this, whatever this may be (or become). Thanks for putting yourself out there for and sharing some of your lessons with the rest of us.

Love this piece! I came here from the politics side (yay, Lady Brains!), and I have stayed for all of it! We are especially loving the IG lives of feeding goats. It was a welcome homeschool break this morning, and all 4 kids huddled around me watching the baby goats eat. They laughed uproariously at the baby goats just refusing to move to the next one. I stood in solidarity with you as you finally moved the bottle holder only to be rejected by the stubborn goat. (I think both human and animal kids share the same attributes at times.) You also feel like a friend, and I am thankful you have taken us along on your ride. Honestly, I want some Lady Brains podcasts back, but until that happens (don’t worry, I’m not holding out hope on that), I’m here for the social media posts and the wonderful wordsmithing you manage to pull together in the middle of your chaos.
