Hi, there! What started as a quick errand turned into something I didn’t know I needed.
I stopped by a friend’s house so she could put a fresh cover on one of my school bus seats. Simple enough. But while I was there, she and her son were out working with the goats — and somehow I ended up right in the middle of it.
I watched them milk the goats. I watched them feed the goats. I stood there in my friend’s yard on a perfectly ordinary weekday and thought: this is not what I expected today to look like.
It was quiet and unhurried and a little bit wonderful.
That’s the thing about just showing up somewhere. You never quite know what you’re going to walk into.
Turns out goats are just as lovable as cows. I did not expect to leave my friend’s house feeling this way about a goat. And yet. Don’t take my word for it — watch this and try not to smile. 🙂
Goats are lovable too!!
I should mention — the goats don’t go unprotected.
My friend has guardian dogs. One dog per pen, each one assigned to its own little herd. Five pens, five dogs. It’s a whole system, and every dog takes their job very seriously.
I managed to get a photo of two — meet Lilly.
And this is Maverick.
Yesterday is today’s memory.
Be sure to capture your memory today!
All the best,.
