Weed eater








Let me explain. Javi spent most of the day on Saturday with a migrant worker digging and raking the weeds in our front yard and they didn't even finish. The backyard has just as many weeds and we heard that goats were great weed eaters. Well, part of the fun of living on a lot of land is being able to have some fun animals or other things that you couldn't normally have. I checked the HOA rules and it looks like it is ok to have a goat, and our friends acquired 5 free goats so they offered some to us. Javi said we could try one to see if she would eat our weeds. So far she has been pretty picky about what weeds she will eat and she bleats A LOT as soon as we leave her alone. She is so big too. The kids (especially Janae and Julia) just love walking her around and pretending they are farmers or Moroccan shepherdesses. Julia and Jackie love to ride her and it is hilarious. We are having trouble with a name. First it was Jenny, then Carnation and then Pocahontas, and back to Jenny. If you have any suggestions we would like to hear them. I said her name should be Tagine because in Morocco we ate a lot of goat Tagine and boy was it good :).
