Goats

 


In a post last year I talked about the local herd of goats that wander around town eating overgrown vegetation. There seem to be 2 groups of them, sometimes they are together and other times they separate. Last week I managed to quickly get a shot of a group of them near the railway bridge in town. The baby ones are so cute.

Edited to add: Yes the train tracks are still used but not all the time, probably twice a day and the goats are not in one spot long enough to get hurt, they move around the town.

In Lahti, Finland we have sheeps in the fields doing that. It´s in a place where one of the first humans in Finland lived. Some 10 000 years ago. I visited the place few times. Blogged some photos at the time too.

There was a neighbor near my former home who rented a few goats to thin out the undergrowth on his property. I thought that was clever.

I hope you have good fences and well secured gates around your garden.

As long as they don't wander into someone's garden uninvited then it's a great idea.

That's very cool. There is a town here that has a herd of donkeys at a lake to eat vegetation.

Looks like they're living quite a dangerous life close to roads and railways!

We see goats sometimes on our travels that appear to be "wild" -- they are always fun to watch. we call them brush-eating goats because that's what they seem to be doing.

Auckland Metropolis Museum

In amongt the modern new highrise buildings in Auckland City is this smaller vintage building that is currently for sale (I'd buy it if I had the money).   My research found that:  "It was designed by English-born architect Charles Towle and erected in the early 1930s as the Church of Christ, Scientist, the building's Graeco-Roman facade has towering columns that frame its impressive entranceway, with three ornate timber doors decorated with leadlight inserts providing access to the expansive foyer. Arched ceilings dominate the former congregational high stud space beyond the foyer and numerous picturesque windows provide a light, airy feel and an ambience many office buildings lack. The building housed congregational and Sunday school services for 70 years until it was sold and converted into office space in 2003. A significant refurbishment was also carried out with care taken to ensure that the building's distinctive character remained intact. Special architectural ...

Family

  Photo taken Spring 2024 in Auckland We have been invited to a family reunion in June 2026 which will be held in Auckland so I'm looking forward to catching up with relatives that I haven't seen in over 10 years.  This week we have: Had a good chat with a friend who has also adopted a rescue dog - must arrange a play date. I've bought some non alcoholic liqueurs to mix up for mocktails which have been very nice as I don't really drink. We had a massive wind storm 2 days ago, we were ok but a good friend who lives 20 minutes away had a bolt of lightning strike her house, the result was a blown up power box inside and part of her kitchen got burned, she had to call out the fire brigade to put it out. And I have a question for you; when you add your blog post to a blog meme or a blog link up, do you expect the owner of that blog to at least come back and comment on the other blogs that have linked up to it including yours even if it's only occasionally?  I actually th...

Hail

  Spring is throwing out some strange weather right now. We don't get snow where we live but it is visible on some of the mountains around us over Winter. Last week around 4.30am we had a very loud thunderstorm with hail. It wasn't until an hour or so later my daughter said this is what she saw out on our deck.  Clumps of hail all over the deck and on her hand. Apparently various other suburbs around town got it too.
