We knew it was going to be okay, though, the day we went out to check on construction progress and found not one, not two, but five hundred goats on the acres behind our house. They were brought in to chew down the Russian thistle, kochia, and other noxious weeds that plague this part of the world. They stayed a week, and when they left, the wildlife preserve and parts of the neighborhood were poison free, weed free, and carpeted with goat droppings. While the goats were there, they not only did their job, but bleated, capered, sparred, and performed all the other goat antics that we enjoyed so much in years past. We’ll be lobbying for the goats to come back next year. Maybe we could even find some rent-a-chickens to take care of the grasshoppers come July. I’m sure the neighbors would be pleased.
