We had a lovely storm here that gave us lots of "packy" snow, and the girls couldn't wait to get outside and play in it. Their passion right now is to build snowmen, and they do so many times over in the same day, so we at times have a snowman family in our yard. Well this particular day, Emily built a beautiful tall snowman all by herself, and we noticed from the house how hard she was working at getting those heavy snowballs all piled on top of each other, so Ryan decided to go out and help her, and I sent out the customary carrot, hat and scarf to embellish her snowman with. Ryan also decided to let our dear goats out for a bit of exercise while he was out as well.
Here is her finished product!
A very proud moment!
Still a very happy proud moment..but notice behind Emmy....tragedy is lurking..
Alas..the dastardly deed has been done...the carrot nose has been snatched from off the poor unsuspecting snowman's proud face...
And kindly the culprit shared her loot around the herd..
so now a little less proud, but still serviceable snowman, smiles on...
until Meg's excellent sniffer sniffed the remnant nose..and as they say...the rest is history!!
It went downhill very quickly from there...let us avert our eyes from the poor snowman's plight,and see how the puppy was making out in the goat pen on that fine afternoon...
Not so well it seems!!
Here are our 3 girls, looking very innocent and sweet.
Now Elle got smart and decided to place a dry stick in her snowman's face....it works, and is alot safer option in a goat pasture!!
My 3 snow lovers!
And here the tragic Mr. Nose-less snowman...with the cavernous hole in his face..a silent witness to the cruelty of the animal we know as the goat.....I know my Daddy and his apple trees and blueberry bushes stripped by naughty wandering goats of many years gone by would whole-heartedly agree!!
hahah!!Love it!!!..Way to build Emm!!
ReplyDeleteNasty goats..greedy little ladies they are.
Happy week you guys~ ox
