This week, we’re still in my brother’s barnyard, but we’ve turned to goats.
It’s actually gotten a little cool here in SE Tennessee, so I’m in the mood for autumnal, cozy things… watch for some comfort food porn this weekend! In the meantime, check out the creatures on this week’s ark! Be safe and happy!
Hello! I'm Alice, which is my real name (most of the other names here have been changed, though, to protect the innocent). I live in an almost-100-year-old house in downtown Chattanooga, TN with my first husband, Ralph, and a cockapoo named Nonnie (the moniker comes from a Laurens van der Post book). Our daughter, Emmie, plays a supporting role on the blog -- she's off being a student, but she pops in often enough to keep things interesting.
I originally hale from Batavia, NY, a quiet little town in rural western New York. Ralph and I met while attending college in Carlisle, PA, and then moved on to Chapel Hill, NC together before finally settling in Tennessee. Other places we've lived in long enough to have a mailing address include London and San Francisco.
This blog is about a lot of things -- the places I visit, things I cook, people I meet, photos I take, things I read, and -- of course, politics. I'm an unrepentant progressive, liberal, lefty, euro-loving, educated elitist and I'm looking forward to an administration that doesn't raise my blood pressure quite as often as the outgoing one did...

Have you ever noticed that goats seem to be smiling? This one sure does!

I’ve always appreciated the shape of the goat’s irises, definitely evolved for grazing animals so that the goat (among many grazers, check out horses and cattle) can watch the horizon for predators.
Really nice photos.
