The Goats Are Back!

A tribe of just under 500 goats has arrived in town to mow the grass in at least one local park. They are excellent at erosion control, eliminating debris, and clearing overgrown areas, plus they are way more fun to watch than a guy with a noisy weed whacker.. I was down at the Lagoon around nine this morning. The goats were waiting for their boss to open the fence so they could begin their work. Lots of territorial squabbling, head butting, and plaintive crying. The goatherd said they were all females, and I got the feeling it was like being in high school—there were definitely little cliques, and a couple of popular girls that were always surrounded by the same admirers. It was entertaining to watch the power shifts and reorganizations. 

Attempted some gardening, but temps hit a high of 82, which is awfully hot for us here. I came inside and worked on portraits of goats instead.
