Now I’m going to talk to a goat.

I am happy to report that we made it through Saturday’s rapture relatively unscathed, which I must say, made for an all around good weekend.

Our weekend did get off to a bit of a gloomy start, but the sun was persistent (one of the many things I like about the sun) and we were able to go to the Irvine Park for a train ride and some animal viewing. The highlight of our park trip was talking to our friend, the goat, and watching our even better friend, the owl, let off a little steam. We really love owls around these parts. Jared even taught us about how birds have a cloaca. I obviously didn’t do well in high school zoology, because I’d never heard of such a thing.

What an interesting and wonderful world we live in, full of owls, goats, humans, human toddlers and other plants and creatures. I am glad it is still around so we can enjoy it.
