Amphigouri: varnished nonsense

A test using the “blog this photo” feature in Flickr. This is one of the goats we saw at the Biltmore farm last weekend while on vacation. Alas, I still haven’t learned how to properly use my dSLR, so the light balance is all off.

Hubby, who grew up with an assortment of animals (chickens, goats, geese, ducks, horses, dogs, cats, cow, rabbit), rediscovered his urge to have a goat (and/or chickens) at our new home after seeing the ones in NC. Our barn and land are fortunately well-suited for such a thing, but I’m not sure I am. Yet, at any rate.

My brother sent me the link to this fantastic YouTube vid today with a dire warning not to get any ideas (what with Nephew Andrew one month old!). Just goes to show you what kids’ll pick up when you think they’re not listening. Looks like Mommy’s raising an empowered young lady, despite the “not nice” word.
