Fences and Gates and Goats


Make sure to get the right side of my face, okay?

This little guy was so rambunctious. While I was trying to get his photo, he was running helter skelter around the barnyard, then suddenly stopped and hopped onto the wagon. I think he wanted to pose for the shot. Just look at that evil eye, and all because I suggested he needed a bath?


Somebody must be home.
And this one doesn't read, 'No Trespassing.'


Gate Sampler
I have a suspicion that these came from different farm auctions.

Bluebird invitation from the Amish

    That goat just wants you to play with him! I love goats (used to have them) and all their funny antics. Great shots of the gates and the Amish buggy. Wendy x

    Love the Amish buggy!!! I remember one time we came upon one in rural Missouri in our travels, with traffic backed up, creeping along...and when we finally saw what the delay in zipping through the countryside, it was an AWESOME sight to see.

    The goat is such a darling...right side, wrong side...any side, darling!!!

    Oh yes they do like maybe they're from an auction. I like the variety of them. Hilarious about your goat and the last photo of the buggy is wonderful. I sure love the country life! Have a great day!

    I never get tired of seeing those buggies since none exist in this part of the country. I hope the goat was friendly.

    I would never dream of giving one of my goats a bath. Maybe you deserved the evil eye.
    Nice pictures.

    That's exactly what that goat is saying! Does he have a name? It should be dignified...no Billy Goat or anything.

    I did not realise there are Amish in Wisconsin, at least I don't remember. The assembly of gates and the goat gave me a laugh.

    Love the gate assortment! The goat reminds me of the time my parents had a 13-year-old grandson living with them for a year and someone sold my mother a pygmy (not sure of the spelling) goat she thought would be a nice pet for the boy. As the goat grew larger and larger, my father was fond of saying to my mother "That guy sure saw you coming!"

    I want a goat. My mother and I are always wishing we had a fainting goat in particular. I think they're so cute. (What we really need though is a donkey, for keeping the snakes away!)
