the green, green grass of home

Here in Texas, we have long, hot, dry summers and by this time of year all of the grass is brown and crunchy sounding when you walk on it. It doesn't taste good and Lord only knows if there is any nutritional value. But........ this year we got some very unexpected rain in August and everything is looking like spring. Lush, soft delicious grass, weeds and such as far as the eye can see.

Spice girls hard at work

We are all doing our best to keep it under control, but we are
losing the battle, so h-mom brought in the big guns.

Left is Storm, h-mom's horse and below is Magic, h-pop's horse. H-mom let them in the goat pens and even in her backyard to eat the ankle high grass and man did they like that! They took their job quite seriously as you can see...

Pony, h-sister's horse got them organized to provide even mowing. They "worked" tirelessly for 2 days and their bellies show it! We were happy to trade places and nibble the briers and wild berry bushes that the horses are kind enough to leave for us goats.
