PHOTOS TAKEN BY SON YESTERDAY AT A LOCAL FARMER’S MARKET

 

Sweet thing, you make my heart sing - you turn darkness into light - you make everything alright.

Son sent these photos he had taken when visiting their local farmer’s market. He was picking out a pumpkin for carving with our daughter-in-law that night when he saw the goat. I decided to put him into a frame and added the lyrics. They immediately popped into my head when I looked at that sweet face.

Have a great day and thanks for visiting.

  1. That’s a great photo collage featuring the cute goat—and it looks like your son is busy carving a pumpkin! I hope he sends you a photo of it.
    Hugs, Elke

  3. Why goats in a farmer market? They sell live animals there?

    1. Hi Angie, no they are not for sale. It’s just a way of drawing in families with small children. There are also mini petting areas where children can interact with other animals, though the goats were in their own enclosure. I imagine there would be a lot of head butting otherwise :)

  6. It is fun this time of year to go out to the market and see animals along with pumpkins and gourds. Perfect pairing with the song. That brings back memories.

  7. "Diana Ross and the Supremes', I had to think about that for a while before I got it Denise.🤣

  10. Interesting
    "The line "sweet thing you make my heart sing" is a mix-up of two different famous songs: "Wild Thing" by The Troggs and "Sweet Thing" by artists like The Supremes or Rufus & Chaka Khan."

    1. Fun, I know the Supremes but I will have to look up the Troggs. Sometimes I recognize the music before I do the name :) Thanks John!

  14. Haha ... you never know what you'll find when looking for pumpkins. I like the orange tone of the goat's fur. Perfect for Halloween. :)

    1. Very true Penelope, I like his orange coat also. I don’t get to meet goats that often but I don’t ever remember seeing one with such a pretty color. I agree, perfect for Halloween :)

  15. Hi Denise, there are few things as sweet as a little goat's face. Awe! When I lived in Switzerland there was this little park in the village. It was honestly like something out of a fairy tale. It had a merry go round, park benches, someone selling pop corn, a man with an accordion and a trained monkey and a petting zoo with little miniature goats. I would often stop there in the afternoon for a little rest to watch the children play before I headed back home with my little pull cart full of groceries. :). I had never been around goats very much but that was when I fell in love!. Have a lovely day, :)

    1. Hi Delisa and isn’t that the truth? How fabulous that you lived in Switzerland! The only times I have been to that beautiful country, I thought the same thing. The place you described sounded magical! It would be awesome to sit for a spell and enjoy. Goats are a very cool animal and always look adorable. I do remember my dad saying one, once ate his handkerchief by pulling it out of his pocket. You have a lovely day too Delisa :)

  16. I had an encounter with a goat that felt I didn't belong on 'its' property. I didn't argue! When I read the lyrics my weird brain went to the Trogg's song "Wild Thing'. Do not ask me why, all I know is I don't make everything groovy.
