New Kids On the Block


"High on a hill lives a lonely goat herd..."

...these lyrics from Sound of Music are ringing through my ears as I gaze out our back windows.

Apparently we have so much wild grass and underbrush in our green belt/dry retention pond behind our house that our home owners association has hired these hungry little guys, (and girls), to take care of the problem in a "green" way! :) Among the "new kids on the block" (pun intended!) are goats and a couple of sheep thrown in the mix.

Just seeing this hilarious sight seems so random in the middle of the suburbs! I can't stop laughing! As I was loading the pictures on the computer, Mr. T and I opened the window upstairs and bleated to the sheep and much to our chagrin, they looked up answered right back to us! :)

What fun this week has already started out to be!

Andy and I got a kick out of the goats. We have a running joke about them. He wants one-seriously. But I'll save that story for another time!
