Cabrit yo

This weekend Jimmy went with a Haitian friend to buy some goats.

He'd been talking about getting a goat since we got it here.

However, he may have never actually done it without his mom's encouragement.

When she visited a couple weekends ago they talked goats and she told him he needed to get one and she wanted to buy it for him as her contribution to our "farm". So she had him talk to people about what it would take to get one and left money to buy a goat for us.

So since them Jimmy has been reading and talking and thinking goats.

The Haitian who is in charge out at the property we live at has apparently been wanting a goat too, so they went together and Jimmy bought both a male and female goat and the Haitian bought another female goat. The hope is that the goats will help "mow" Jimmy's lawn that he has been working so hard on, provide free fertilizer, milk and baby goats - not to mention lots of entertainment. Although I have heard horror stories about goats, so far they seem to be quiet and well tempered, somewhat ambivalent toward us, but atleast not obnoxious.

I'm sure Jimmy will want to tell more later, but for now, here they are.
