Here's looking at you, kid

 

The goats pass so close that with one step I could run my hands through their long white fur.  The impulse to do so is remarkably strong.  Their fur looks so soft.  I wonder what kind of sweater it would make?  I think that cashmere is made from goat's hair.

The three goats saunter slowly past me.  Mom looks me up and down.  When I don't move, she continues another ten yards or so, then leaves the trail and begins browsing at the base of another clump of pine trees.
