Helpers

As you can see, the goats are very helpful when it comes to working in the yard. Take note of the bush in the background. It used to be a huge, full-sized hedge. The goats have eaten the entire bottom half of it as far up as they can reach when standing on their hind legs. Its going to make mowing around it a lot easier, thats for sure. Chaucer has a thing for standing in the wheelbarrow. I don't know why. It makes him feel big and tall, I guess.

That big blue container is full of amaryllis bulbs that Bruce dug up out of the backyard. Apparently, Amaryllis is not good for goats to eat, so we needed to get it out of there before it could start to bloom again. Now its got to be replanted. And that tub is FULL of bulbs. Those plants had not been thinned out and separated in God knows how many years. We've got white amaryllis coming out of our ears. But not in the backyard anymore. I am pretty sure the amaryllis would suffer the same fate as that poor bush if we left it there. Even if it did make them sick......
