Tuesday morning I met two good friends for brunch. We used to teach together at Greenfield School years ago. Although I’d written it on my calendar, I’m so used to not going out much I had to receive a text from Donna asking if I was on my way. Oooops!
After we ate, Sue and I walked along the River Trail. We had a couple of years to catch up with one another.
Donna, we are so sorry you missed the goats!
We saw this sign first, as Sue had told me it was one of the nations busiest rivers for barge traffic.
As we walked along the trail, (which goes all the way to Washington DC and Sue’s sons have biked it) we saw an electric fence and this sign
Sue spotted the goats as I was taking photos of the underbelly of the Homestead Grays Bridge
I’d posted about goats at the tea store in Millvale Landscaping Goats at Knit Night and also at a Rent a Goat at Pittsburgh Botanical Garden in Oakdale a couple of years ago. And you might remember I booked a Goat With a Note for a zoom meeting.
Six HaveUHerdLandscaping Goats have been munching some undesired vegetation behind Tupelo Honey Teas in Millvale, PA. They’ll eat anything, I’m told. Even poison ivy!
We were knitting at knit night on the back porch of the shop, and I snapped a few shots of the goats.
You can book a Goat with a Note video or a 5 minute call from the Live goat Cam during your video call or Zoom meeting.
The goats live at CronkshawFold Farm in Lancashire, United Kingdom.
The bookings help support their farm. I hear there will be baby goats soon.
I booked the live goat for a McWalker Yarns Knitting Zoom and ordered a goat video for a Happy Hour, due to time zones and availability.
It was a lot of fun and everyone got a kick out of the goats appearance.
We were at the Pittsburgh Botanic Garden in Oakdale last week.
Here’s a photo of one of the goats helping clear some undesired vegetation. You can rent goats to help get rid of unwanted vegetation. If you click the Have U Herd link here you can see you can rent goats for parties, too. Who knew? Not just landscaping! Environmental friendly. Interested in Goat Yoga? Click here to find out more.
An article about Goats in Prospect Park in New York City, New York City Parks Using Goats as a Chemical-Free Weed Control Alternative. They even eat Poison Ivy!
Last night my sister and I were walking around the neighborhood and window shopping at Naadam Ultra Thin on Bleecker Street. Cashmere and silk store. “Responsibly Sourced Sustainable Mongolian Cashmere Clothing” – The sign says soft, soft, soft world.
Can you find the two of us with the goat’s reflection? And the goat is not a taxidermy specimen but a large replica, like a giant stuffed toy.
I never saw a zebra this close before. A relative to the horse and donkey. Love that mane!
These photos were taken last Friday at the Food Revolution Day, Pittsburgh.
Zebra foals are supposed to be brown and cream at birth according to what I could google. Depends on the breed.
The hair might be brown but the skin is black underneath?
This one didn’t look that young to me.
But I was so surprised to see the brown color in the light.
The petting zoo goat tries the grass on the zebra’s side of the fence.
Looked brown to me
Thinking about petting the zebra
Reaching to pet the zebra
Almost
There! Petting the zebra.
Lots of lines and patterns with zebra stripes and chain link fence. On my way home…..
