Bring On the Goats!


When in Norway, Elizabeth photographed an old, abandoned log house. What caught my eye was the sod grass roof. I am looking at that photo at this moment. A thought comes to me . . . would a goat find this roof a place to put a little excitement into her or his often boring dining venue? After all, going “out to eat” all the time could become a little mundane. But, consider going “up to eat!” Now, that’s got class.

A grass-munching goat might even invite other goats to join in. They would have no problem getting up to the roof. Everyone knows something of a goat’s prodigious agility and persistent stubbornness. No need to ask permission as the surrounding lawn in the photo hasn’t been mowed for a good while. Obviously, there is no one at home. So . . . bring on the goats!

Why eat the grass on the ground, when the best grass is greener at higher elevations!

something I feel gruff about.
