This is Dianne (the one in the glasses) and Wickett.
Dianne's family has ties to the Lawrence area that go back to the 1850's. She knows a lot of people, who know a lot of people, and basically has the low down on the what to and the why for around these parts. When I mentioned recently that I was dying to see some baby goats she calmly mentioned that she may be able to hook me up.
So this week she did. Hook me up. She hooked me up big time.
It's not everyday you get to wander amongst a flock of goats.
They were as curious about me as I was about them, except I don't think they wanted to pet me and I didn't hear any of them muttering about how downright adorable I was.
When I say adorable, I do indeed mean ADORABLE.
This is one of those afternoons that will be with me for a long time. Just hanging out with the goats on a beautiful spring day in a field in Kansas. Thanks Dianne for helping me cross "go see some baby goats in a field" off my bucket list. I am still smiling as I think about it.
OMG! I'm a goat lover from way back, since my gran bought me a nanny goat named Mootsie. She followed me around like a dog. I have some darling pictures of me & Mootsie wandering around the farm. I also know goat speak, you can ask my birding friend, Rita, who'll tell you all about me calling all the goats from the top of a ridge in Mexico. The village people thought I was some kind of witch or shaman. It was hilarious.
The baby kid goat near the end, the one with the little brown boots....I'd take that one in a heartbeat. And that's the truth.
