Angora Goats have Captured My Heart!

Angora Goats have captured my heart with Their gentle ways, Sweet faces and low hum voice. 


Piper immediately nuzzles for a head scratch 
when
 I am near.

 Glancing out of the studio window, a pastoral scene Is a delight to behold. These Lovely Angora Goats are calmly and gently walking to and fro, nibbling choice bits of grasses. This brings a sense of peace. They have no thought or worry about tomorrow. Nor do they reflect about the past. They bask in the sun, and enjoy the breeze as a butterflies flutter in the last of the warm days, and leaves gently fall. This calm spreads like the soft wind, as it flows over my very soul.

At dusk The barn is a sanctuary, a refuge of quiet and calm. The goats enjoy their supper and having their fleeces inspected for burrs and twigs. In methodical routine, they, and I, am comforted. The filling of the water bucket, the measuring of the grain, the cleaning of the fleeces and inspection of the feet, The closing of the doors and turning down the lights-All signal the end of the day.
