We quickly snapped a picture and I posted it to Face Book when I got home....thinking everyone will get a kick out of this. Well I was floored when some people I know that live in town actually were posting messages about knowing this goat and the man that owns her. Surprise surprise! I've been living a sheltered life!
This picture was taken before the pandemic. (I never thought I'd be explaining anything in relation to when a pandemic started that would change our lives). A few weeks later my family and I were to attend a historic guided walk (in the winter no less) through a section of town near the old gun powder mill...or what's left of it at least.
Who do you think was in the crowd? Yup, Snowflake! She was with a very old looking (and not to clean looking) farmer type man; just standing there listening to the speaker before we started on the walk. I had my very young granddaughters with me this time and there was no way they were going to see a goat standing in a crowd of people and not take notice of it. That's how I found out her name was Snowflake. We talked with the owner a bit....can't remember his name but then he's not the goat in the crowd so you'll forgive me this time, yes? The girls pet Snowflake (Shay had to be told not to kiss her) and eventually we got the guided walk underway.
Surprisingly the old man and his goat did not take part in the guided walk. I think Snowflake was just there for the free coffee and donuts.
