Friday Goat Blogging

Windmill

I think it's a goat, but I was far away, using a zoom. This was at Kinderdijk, a great spot for viewing Holland's windmills. The other windmills all had goats out back, keeping the grass clipped low.

Ingenious low-carbon lawnmowers, next to ingenious low-carbon polder-draining devices

Tomorrow is the flower parade from Noordwijk to Haarlem. We get a front row seat here at the hotel.

The trouble with those lawnmowers is that they are also simultaneous fertilizers.

Tee-hee--this picture reminds me of a college band trip I took to Holland about five years ago, where a goat (similarly situated to a windmill) inspired a whole host of jokes and a drink called a "sexy goat". (In case you're wondering it's beer and orange soda.) Thanks for the silly memory!

I'm envious! Enjoy!
