While driving down the road, we had a "whoa! wait. what?" moment. We drove past this farm and there was something that was a little unusual.
Can you see it?
Look closely at the roof of the shed.
That isn't a weather vane or a statue, that, my friends, is a goat!
We decided if the goat was still there when we drove back by, we would take a picture. I lobbied for stopping to talk the goat down. Jeremy asked me what I might say and I thought it might go something like, "Hey, buddy! Want to come down and get a drink?"
I did seriously ask if we could stop and ask the residents if they knew their goat was on the roof of their shed. My husband assured me that he has driven by this same farm several times and the goats are always standing on something.
So, what do you think? Is he standing guard? Staying up high to get away from something? Playing kind of the hill (um...shed?)?

You might see this at our house too....we had some young goats this spring that would get up on top of the brooder house. They love to be up high and anything that makes noise when they walk or jump makes them happy! They are always aware of predators and I think being up high allows them to observe the surrounding area, and they feel safe.
