Lightning, our mini-Oberhasli kid, is always into one thing or another.
A few months ago, she broke her leg. http://severalgardens.blogspot.com/2012/07/exploring-several-gardens.html
At the time, we thought it was a fluke. The vet thought her leg had been caught in something; perhaps in a door jamb or other heavy, moving object. It could have happened to any baby goat.
Or so we thought...
As time goes on, we aren't so sure. Did Lightning have an accident, or is she actively looking for trouble? A typical day in her life involves getting into a lot of places.
She drives the ducks crazy by jumping on their roof in the morning.
She walks along the ledge above the milk stand, and sticks her head out through the polycarbonate window
She gets up into the tree house. She likes to go up there and then cry till someone plays with her.
Meggie stands at the manger to eat; Lightning stands on top of it.
Old spools were invented for young goats like Lightning
Apparently so were trees
If Lightning wasn't so adorable, she would drive us crazy.

Goats climb trees?! I would never have guessed.
Goats are mountain climbers. My grandpa used to make a mountain out of straw bales for them to climb.

thanks for sharing with us at the Wednesday Fresh Foods Link-up! I hope to see you again this week with more seasonal & whole/real food posts! xo, kristy.
Kristy, I thought about ending my post by saying "if Lightening wasn't so adorable we might eat her" but I wasn't sure how that would sound. Especially since we are still working up to it.
