Woodpile Mountain


Here on Oak Hill our young neighbors burn wood in their home. They split and pile it into a mighty heap across the street from us. They also raise goats. Thus, we often sit on our front porch in the evening, watching the goats climb and head butt on what we have come to call "Woodpile Mountain." It’s just like having a National Geographic Special going on in our front yard. More entertaining than a lot of the goat crap you see on TV these days.

  3. This photo reminds me of one I took when living in Ghana. The geep, as they were called,(a cross between a goat and a sheep)would climb the huge rubbish piles which were found all over the streets.
    You would often see them climbing the stacks even when smoke was coming from the top. They were obviously so hungry that a little fire and smoke didn't seem to bother them.

  5. I'll have to show this post to Art. He'd like to have a few goats when we move up to Hasty Brook.

  6. When I used to work at Herring Art & Frame, the highlight of my day was watching the goat kids play during my lunch break.
    I would love to have some goats at our place, but I'm always threatened with divorce when I bring that topic up!
