A day in the sunshine. And I should clarify, a warm day in the sunshine which is a bit rare for mid-October on Bainbridge Island. It was a gorgeous day today and because we know we are headed into the dark and rainy days of winter, it can be easy to spend a day like this "getting something done". But the goats showed us today that we don't have the right idea at all.
The goats know exactly how to spend a day in the sunshine. Around lunch time we found them all snoozing, sound asleep. Sweet Pea was sleeping standing up, with her head pressed against the tire for support. Silver was cashed out on the upside down metal feed trough, with sound asleep Lily cuddled next to him. And Blackberry had a coveted spot on the goat version of the sun porch.
The goats don't think, they just do. The sun warmed up their fur until they felt nice and drowsy, and so they dozed. Right where they were. They looked so peaceful and happy. And once again, I found myself thinking that they are very smart creatures. I still have a lot to learn from them.
