One day, before we realized our house was sitting right on top of critter heaven, I was on the phone with Doc. I was chatting away, happy that he had called since I don't get to talk to an adult very often.
While talking his head off, I decided to open the curtains in our dining room and bask in the bright sunshine and wide open spaces. We were fairly new to the rural community and we enjoyed seeing the mountains in the distance.
My conversation with Doc was cut short when I saw a horse moseying on down the middle of our road. My voice was unsure as I said with confusion, "There's a horse walking down the road and there's no one riding it! That's weird! I wonder where- what in the world?! A goat? Doc! There's a GOAT following the horse down the middle of the road!"
My eyes were bug-eyed and my mouth was open the whole time I watched them parade down the street. My head turned as my eyes followed them and then I turned away from the window.
That was a sign of things to come.
