Winter Weary Goats Lounge in Sunshine



This weekend is the Vermont Maple Festival in Saint Albans (yum and yippee!) and as I was searching the event web site for scheduling information, I noticed photos of last year's event.  People were wearing shorts and sleeveless tops.  Not this year!

The other day though we did have the pleasure of a warm afternoon, and I caught our winter-weary goats lounging outside in the sunshine.  I was alarmed when I first saw Millie (on the left, head down) because of the unusual way her body was all twisted, but she was fine. She was just sprawled out chillin'.  To her right is her youngest daughter, Sophie, and her twin, Sam.  To Sam's right is Millie's oldest son, Huey.  He's got his head resting back on his horns.  In the right foreground, tucked against the rocks, is Thomas, our very handsome and sweet Leicester Longwool wether.  With all that winter wool, it's hard to see much of his face. The gray spots are along the end of his nose. He lifted his sleepy head for the photo.

If you come into town for the Festival, please stop by and say "hello!"  We'll be open all weekend, 10-5.
