We have the neatest "backdoor" neighbors. Actually, they are probably over a half mile through the field, but we can get there on the golf cart or scooter. Gene and Cindy raise fainting goats. Ollie actually made one faint once. It was so funny; he just made a slight sudden moment and over went the goat! He popped right up though.
The collage of photos was taken last week when we went to visit some baby goats. They were only 2-3 days old and SO cute! You can click on the photos to enlarge them. I love the old barn; so much history! On the right center of the collage is the rear end of a goat, then Lily hugging the same goat. She thought this one looked like a dually pickup truck so we gave him the nickname Dually. They are all very tame. I wasn't so sure, because I remember that some of the rams on our sheep farm could get mean.
I didn't even think about it at the time, but it's pretty funny to see what AM was wearing at the farm. So glam! At least she was sporting her rubber boots.
The next photo is kind of silly, but so typical. It's just a boot that has been left in the pasture forever. I wonder if this is how my house would look if I didn't put things away (smile).
My favorite story from the goat farm is about a lady who bought a fainting goat there. One day, she was walking her goat on the road with a leash. A truck driver passed them and honked and the goat fainted. The trucker turned around and came back to check on them as he was sure he had somehow caused the goat to die!
Tonight we stopped to put some horses back in the pen at another neighbor's house. Life in the country hasn't changed much since I was a kid, thankfully!
