As part of a new urban livestock thing going on at Garfield Park, they have goats on the grounds one week a month. The goats belong to a fellow west side resident, and they come over to the conservatory grounds one week a month to munch on the grass there. John and I went out to see them today, they’ve got quite a nice setup there in the back lawn area! They are fenced and we’re not quite sure what the overall plan is, maybe it’s a test case to see how goats do there.

Very happy goats!
There were at least three very young goats that were happily hopping around.
Also, I realized that last week when I posted photos of our garden, I left off the real triumph of the moment — my lettuces and arugula.

There is a lot of tall grass for a few goats! It will be interesting to see how that goes. Very nice garden!
