The Waiting is the Hardest Part

That is what the great America poet T. Petty said. These particular goats are awaiting the second-biggest holiday of the year this coming Thursday. Its the Feast of the Sacrifice. We don't understand much except that each family (as they can) should provide one goat per person (a cow is good for seven people) from their family. The animals are then "harvested" as Randy would say and the meat divided among the poor of the community.

We are starting to see more and more of these around town as anticipation builds. I tried to get Angie to buy one for our yard. We could do a pardon like the President with his annual turkey but we decided against it. So these guys will likely be dinner by this weekend.

They are just fulfilling their purpose in life, are they not?
