The Darndest Things...

Behind my home is an empty lot. From my bedroom upstairs, I get a bird's eye view of the field. Neighboring the lot is a little farm that has goats, geese, chickens and a few other things. Well, they have begun letting their herd of goats graze on the grass growing on the empty lot.

The first time I saw them, it was from a distance and I couldn't make out what they were, I honestly thought they were a pack of wild dogs. I began to worry about this pack of wild dogs and the dangers for my quiet little neighborhood. Slowly they made their way over to our side of the lot and I was able to see they were goats. Since then, everyday they have gone out onto the field and grazed. Since then, much to my surprise, I have found how much I enjoy watching these goats. Every morning I open my blinds and look out in search of the herd. They are so sweet. I really enjoy them. I guess there is a country girl inside me somewhere, because I find watching these animals graze to be quite the treat.

Lisa, I realize you probably can't see the picture well, I'm sorry, but it's a picture of my goats grazing.

YOUR GOATs!!! NOW that's FUNNY! YOUR GOATS!

You got me pegged cuz the first thing I did was click on the pic to see if I could get MEGA look at it. Oh well...I know what goats look like. You make me laugh so much some times.

For me...I NEVER get sick of looking out the car window to see cows, horses, windmills & snowcapped mountains. You can always buy some land out where I live for CHEAP & put some goats AND Leonard's coveted horse on it. I'll help you. Hahaha. Gerry refuses to let me get any animals. He's still ticked off that Kaiju entered the picture.

Nice post & reflection. I feel like a teacher when I say that. : )

Welcome to my world! Although it is vastly different to watch them from your window and taking care for them everyday.

I know what you mean. I consider myself an urbanite to the core . . . and yet, there are few things I find more charming than domestic animals in a field.
