The summer flew by so quickly that Pat and I had no chance to visit one of our favorite spots, Bear Creek Park. Today he suggested we stop by there to see if the community garden there was still in play. Alas, it being November, the garden had long been harvested and tilled over -- nothing but dirt to see there! On the other hand, the herd of goats used to keep the weeds at bay in the rest of the park was hard at work. There were hundreds of them, munching away happily in the late afternoon sunlight, and plenty of parents with small children there to watch the funny sight.
I tell you, goats will eat anything. We watched one gobble down a piece of paper without pausing. They inhale anything in their path! What an effective (and kinda cute) way to fight weeds.

Looks like they have plenty to munch on there! A few years ago our city brought in sheep to control the kudzu vines. It was always a funny sight to see them hard at work around town!
