In a Crisis, Count on Me!

Whether it's a small kitchen fire, flooding, or even finding a barnyard in your kitchen, in a crisis you can count on me, to grab my camera and start clicking away. Hey, someone has to think of history! Of posterity!

Yesterday brought a whole new level to the theme Barnyard in the Kitchen. As I was at the stove, mixing and fixing, I heard Maria's anxious farm girl voice. She was a bit breathless, slightly alarmed, and covering the minutest detail, describing how she could not corral Ada and Tasha, and how they gave her the slip when she was closing their gate, and how they ran out between her feet. I pictured the two goats in the rose garden, again. But I was way off...

Ok, the chickens were cute, but I think this would cross my line! Still, I am very grateful your first reaction was to grab the camera. Hee hee (and when you say "wee goat" that's an adjective, not a verb, right??)

Hysterical! I actually, literally laughed out loud when I scrolled down to see a goat on your counter. Fabulous! :)

Oh how cute! Is this goat full grown? What is her breed? I think I'd jump for joy or cry a la sloth video if I had a goat in my kitchen. LOL All I have are chickens which try to infiltrate.

Oh wow! That is really the cutest picture ever! Just like toddlers, it's a good thing that goats are cute. It gets them out of trouble. =]

Excuse me, but if I'm not mistaken there is a goat on your beautiful granite countertop?
Nice to meet you!

I love the look on the little guy's face... "Yeah, I'm on the counter. So what?" I'm going to show this to my wife, she has been begging me to get a goat for a long time... Apparently the chickens just don't do it for her anymore.
