Goats lots of goats!

I don’t mean old goats like us, I mean real goats.

Goats seem to be a must to have down here. Everywhere we go there are goats. Goats do roam, and there is a herd that hangs out on the road to Melaque. I have to be careful driving by there, especially at night. The other day we saw the herd on the boulevard on highway 200 munching on the grass. I guess the city saves a few bucks that way.

There are a lot of them in our area and we often hear them bleating beyond our walls. And of course, there is the incident last year where two of them walked into our place and before leaving five minutes later, pooped on the walkway. I decided to get my own back and tried some ‘birria’, goat soup, but they had the last laugh. To me it tasted terrible so they don’t have to worry about me using them as a food source. Rosalie however loves it.

We were driving by a tethered goat the other day and it bleated at me in an aggressive way so I bleated back. Rosalie started to laugh as she though it was just me and not a two way conversation. So I can add this to my many other talents. I can bleat like a goat!

The lady on the left thought this was great fun and we had a laugh together as I passed by.

And then I saw this article from the CBC. As there is only so much you can say about goats, I have to change the subject.

Seasons

As I said previously, This season is winding down. Our cleaner was in and when she was finished we were going to start packing. So the first thing we had to do was grab a glass of wine and start planning. We decided to start the next day instead so we’re getting really good at planning but not so much at actualy packing. I’ll keep you pasted on the packing if we ever get around to getting starting. I think we have a few more planning sessions ahead of us. We can’t be too hasty after all.

It gets confusing here sometimes and I confuse seasons with years. I say to Rosalie that something happened last year but she says no that was last season and was actually the year before. So then I mentions something happening last season Rosalie points out that it was this season but last year. I’m so confused.
