After a bit of recon I concluded that it must be the head that Blair, Craig's friend, had found because there was no body and I highly doubted that the thing struggled hard enough to take its own head off.
After basking in horrified fascination I took it down by the horns and, using them like a set of handlebars, steered myself with appropriate sound effects back to my garden. After looking around I hooked it by it's horns to my fence and dubbed my plot " The Goat's head garden."
I have high hopes that Sam will be just as effective as a scarecrow.
Oh god this is great. May the Goat Head be bountiful and full of Pan's Protection.
ReplyDeleteGoodness knows that goat heads are way scarier than a scarecrow. Imagine which would make you scream; a fake man made out of straw with plaid shirt and jeans or a once live goat's head on a fence. Goat head...way more scary!
ReplyDeleteWhat's best is that he has this demonic toothy grin permanently plastered on his face. It's delightfully creepy. Craig and Brenden came in the day I hung him wondering if they missed the satanic ritual while they were out.
ReplyDeleteOooh, super scary! I would scream for sure! Can't wait to see what lovely things come out of Goat's Head Garden.
ReplyDeleteThat goat's head is amazing! So BIG! Was it a wild goat? That's one way to get protein out of your garden! Have you planted anything yet? Who plowed it up for you? Hugs and kisses!
ReplyDeleteInquiring minds want to know... Dad wants to know if those are rocks or dirt clods in your garden? He thinks you need to train one of your calves to be a rock-eating pet! HA!
ReplyDeleteLOL! Tell dad that those clumps are sheep chips. I spent yesterday breaking them up with a shovel and turning them under. Craig and Brenden dropped about 12 trailers full right before I arrived. It's awesome to have the nutrients but they were super compacted because they were in the wool shed and had set for awhile. We put a sprinkler on for 24 hours and they were still dry inside when I went to break them up. Good thing I'm tenacious. ;-)
ReplyDeleteAs for the goat's head, I think it was part of our flock that had died. The boys go out after them sometimes when they get a hankering for goat meat, but they are quick monsters. :-) You should have seen them run the other day when we went to find them on the 4 wheeler. They were freakishly fast.
ReplyDeleteHave you thought about putting a saddle on one of those little critters for a joy ride? Just a thought...You might need to apply shin guards, arm guards, helmet, etc. to ward off any injury or quick changes of direction! HA!
DeleteDid someone plow up the garden before they dumped their loads of Miracle Grow? Those plants will probably spring out of the ground beating their chests and yodeling!

ReplyDeleteWhat are you going to plant? I can't wait to see it all!
ReplyDeleteManda! I currently have a few varieties of peas, a heap of tomatoes, zucchini, squashes, strawberries, beans and...I think that's it!
ReplyDeleteThis is really cool, Summer!
