Young guests brighten our day...Our goats thought all those little boots and irrepressible squeals of joy were magical! Even the llamas smiled from a distance. |

| Thanks for the visit, Oregon Children's Developmental Coalition!... "and come back with carrots" bleats Tony Llama. He can be so demanding. | |
Memories of August 2011
Marigold's gypsy petal skirts spinning in our buckets of paint; swirling brushes splashing laughter all over the day! Thank you HandsOn Mid-Willamette Valley for your generous donation of paint, paint- brushes and buckets – we would be grey and dusty without you!
The Boys and Girls Club (of Woodburn, Oregon) inspired two young Portland artists, Amber and Chris, to design a goat mural for our barn. The twelve-foot mural was sketched out like a giant coloring book by Amber and Chris. Slaying the dull barn wall, (sticky from Augusts' heat), the Boys and Girls Club, painted with double barrel paintbrushes.
Drips of Marigold yellow and Chili Pepper red were not touched up, but left on the goat mural to remind us all that art is not about perfection; art is about inspiration.
Every inspiration, a miracle.
