DAY TWENTY-TWO ~ 8.3

let's discuss the goats. oh my gosh the goats. backstory: a few nights ago, my mom and i took the dog for an evening car ride up to this farm property not too far from us. they usually have cows and some horses wandering around in their pasture. we pulled off the main road near their land so we could stay in the car but still see the animals and by the grace of God we had stopped right next to the goat pasture. the goats immediately came towards the fence by our car, nibbling and making goaty noises. i talked to them and soon discovered a hidden talent i posses. i am THE GOAT WHISPERER. they loved me. we communicated. it was magical. and not only that, but they were freaking adorable, too. they were excited to have us visiting and just went about their little goatly lives, sporting beards and paying zero attention to my crazed dog in the backseat. since making their acquaintance, my mother, the dog and i have revisited our hoofed friends on a few occasions. they never cease to greet us with genuine excitement and dopey cuteness. my summer is now complete thanks to the goat friends i have made.
