End of Summer Photos


I've got a backlog of random photos that, somehow, never made it into full blown blog posts. Here's some of those pics starting with our modest passion fruit harvest. Beautiful flowers and tasty fruit.


Kelly accidentally planted some potatoes amongst her sweet potato patch. We got a few potatoes and some pretty potato flowers.


My friends Gloria and Steve, who own a small herd of goats, did a goat milk tasting at the Institute of Domestic Technology comparing their backyard milk against a couple of store bought goat milks and some cow milk. Guess what? Fresh goat milk from the backyard is delicious and does not taste "goaty". Store bought goat milk just doesn't compare, though the Summer Hill brand at Trader Joes is passable.


Lastly, two of my favorite things: cats and corded telephones. 

Best wishes for a happy fall for all Root Simple readers.

Music for Goats



Tuvan musicians Igor Koshkendey, Mongun-ool Ondar, Aldar Tamdyn, and Aidysmaa Koshkendey performing music for an audience of goats. Another gem from Ken Sitz of Tularosa Farms.

Goats in a Tree



From Morocco, sixteen goats in a tree. More info on the phenomenon here.

Thanks to Gloria and Steve for the tip on this bit of goat magic. Do any of you Root Simple readers have goats? Leave a comment.
