Their smell is as lovely as their look.I was wandering around outside with my camera (without a coat or sweatshirt!) today looking for signs of spring. Breathing in the rich aroma of the warm air mixed with allergens the scent of flowers and trees. Spring always reminds me why I live here.
Another sign of the warm weather was my goats really enjoying their scratching post, aka a discarded street sweeper brush. I guess it is time to get rid of all that winter hair. I hope they know what they are doing; after all it was 30 degrees yesterday morning when I went down to do chores.
They were really into their sunbathing before they spotted me.
Their sleek black coats were like solar panels soaking up the sun. I would have joined them if they would have let me without jumping all over me. As tempting as it was I have a church board meeting this afternoon and I am pretty sure the other board members will appreciate that I decided against laying in the goat yard.
On days like this it is so easy to appreciate God's creation. It makes me very thankful that he has given us such diversity in the world.

It is tempting to spend nice days in the goat pen! There has been many a time I was starting out down the driveway and stopped and ask,"Does this coat smell like goat", and on occasion the answer is yes! I pull back up to the house and clean clothes! So far I have always caught myself before it is too late,I hope anyways,lol!
I know what you mean. My goal has often been to have just one pair of shoes that have never touched poop. Sooner or later an emergency happens where you have to dash into the pen with your poop-free shoes on.
So glad I'm not the only one that occasionally smells like goat in public. I absolutely love the scratching post. My herd would be jealous!
Your green grass has such appeal to me as we are just starting to receive a hint of green around here. As for flowers, a few of mine just barely poked their sleepy heads up out of the ground. As for non smelly shoes. What are those?
Teresa, just contact your city- they throw these away here and are glad when someone wants them.
I am glad to hear that I am not the only one that is concerned about smelling like a goat and having poop shoes.
Howdy! Ya'll have some cute little goats catchin' spring rays there. I just wanted to thank ya for poppin' over and hoppin' on my blog. I sure hope ya enjoy the ride.
God bless and in the words of that silly old Granny Clampett, "ya'll come back now, ya hear!!!"
