Last Friday at noon, we paid an annual visit to our old friends, the goats, at Neary Lagoon. We spent an hour there, watching them grazing, resting and walking around. There were about 300 goats, male & female, kids & mothers, and with goatee or goatee-less. They were surprisingly peaceful and content.
Since we arrived at noon, I was a little concerned about the heat and that their drinking tubs were unreachable on the wood ramp. But there was ample shade along the long fence; before long an attendant came by with a hose and started to fill three empty tubs. Quite a few goats gathered as soon as a tub was filled. Comforted at the thought that they were being well-taken care of, we left those lovely and hardworking goats with a quiet wish that we would meet again in 2018!

We never went back to see them after June 16. Maybe last year's melancholy of missing their presence, and seeing only well-grazed grass left, is still hovering in our thoughts.
The following shows more photos chosen from over 200 iPhone photos Paul took to show how happy and harmonious they are. The last photo here displays the grass before their work (on the right side of the walkway) and after (on the left). Enjoy!
