I really don't know why either...

the climbing goat from yesterday

brought lots of questions

and

I wish I had a really smart answer

but

I don't

~~

maybe the climbing thingy majingy is just to test their

intelligence

and

agility

and

to add some excitement to their otherwise kind of mundane life

or

maybe to add some excitement to ours

~~

who knows

~~

what I do know is that first

you make friends with the goats

then you let them know you have food for them

and

they watch intently

while you attach their food to one of the spinners

the brave goats

start climbing

hoping that the middle stand is where the food stops

but

like the picture from yesterday

they will go all the way to top to get the food

if that's where you send it

and

then it's over quickly

~as they tend to inhale their food~

and

they head back down

and

wait for the next person

sending a bucket of food up the ropes

~~

they have been doing this for years

at this little animal farm/vegetable market

and

it's safe

and

obviously the goats love it

as do the kids

~~

well

and

some adults too

i'm still playing with the polaroid coloring

as it seems so fitting

for the grey days that have settled over wisconsin
