Fall Walk

With winter fast approaching, my goats and I took advantage of a lovely fall day. We took a great walk! The cold nights have already zapped life from a great deal of the greenery, but the girls found plenty to nibble on nonetheless.

On the trail

Suzie is a little short compared to the grass, hah! 

Yoko fairs a bit better when it comes to grass height 

Of course, we had to make our way to the boulder that makes for some fun goat pictures. Goats can't resist jumping up on something bigger than themselves! My neighbor told me they found that rock back when he was a young boy. Apparently the tractor they had wasn't strong enough to pull it from its resting place, so they hitched a team of horses to the tractor for extra oomph! And so the boulder was removed from its original, inconvenient location, and now rests out of the way of farm equipment.

Yoko first. She was so pleased with herself, being up nice and high! 

 Suzie was much more modest about her climbing. Also, Yoko likes shoving her off the boulder.

She has grown so much!

 The instant after this silly picture was taken, she sprang off the rock like a little mountain goat!

Beautiful and majestic!

I think Yoko was displeased since Suzie had been using her back as a chin rest. 

Nomming nommy grass

Soon enough, snow will be on the ground! I am looking forward to the winter, I just hope that it isn't too harsh a winter. Last year we had it easy though, not much snow and temperatures were not too bitter. I am sure Mother Nature will make up for it eventually!
