Our Neighbors

This old retired couple (us actually) got a new HD TV and signed up for hundreds of cable channels. Each summer some nearby goats have kids.
Now the we spend our evenings on the front porch...... watching the goats across the road. There are eleven of them including five kids. The kids romp and chase. They all (including kids) like to butt heads and climb on the various woods piles.
"This is more entertaining than anything on TV these days," one Troutbirder was heard to say.
Of course, what goes around, comes around, and so I've noticed some of our other neighbors have been watching us, as of late, as well.

  1. I would rather watch the goats too. Much more interesting than what they call entertainment now days.

  2. Maybe you have just hit on an idea for a new business. Set up a pen of goats near a subdivision and charge the locals 1/2 the price of satalite TV to sit around and watch the goats:) When the goats start to age, sell goatburgers.

  4. Good morning! Thank you for stopping by to say hello. It's so good to hear from you! Things are going well at my end, but life keeps me busy. This is a wonderful post. When I was a kid, my aunt raised goats. They're very mischievous and I thought I would grow up and have a million of them. (I have none.) ;-) Your blog looks wonderful. So glad you've kept it up. Hope all is well with you. Keep your eyes open for the mountain lions. They're out there.

  5. My husband Art would be in heaven- he loves goats! His plan is to have one or two when we move up to Hasty. Better than TV by far!!

  6. I love goats....once when I was young a goat attempted to eat the buttons off my shirt.....I think I escaped with most of them.....I still love goats.

    Great pics and great blog.

  7. Love the live animal planet! Watch out for those turkeys though, they can be agressive.

  9. I'd love to watch those little fellows, too! The turkey? I wouldn't worry too much about what he thinks... he'll go into hiding before too very long, anyway! :-)

  10. I could definitely spend some time watching the goats. The turkey, well, that just might make me too hungry. ;) *L*

  11. It is so fun to see them climb and stand on a heap of something, like they love to do so well!

  14. Darn it! Somehow I managed to leave my comment regarding this post on your In The Woods post. Must be too early for me to be on the computer.

  15. Hi TB, you asked about the quotes on my posts. Some are just favorites that I uses more than once but one way to find quotes is to Google 'quotes fish' and get things like this:

    All the romance of trout fishing exists in the mind of the angler and is in no way shared by the fish. ~Harold F. Blaisdell

    Fishing is the sport of drowning worms. ~Author Unknown

    Have a great weekend.
