I know, you may have never heard of it, but yes it's in the City. I didn't know about it until I started house-hunting a few years ago. Anyway, the goats come every year (maybe twice a year) and graze on the lawns of the water reserve here.<br /> <br />Hope you're swell!<br /> <br />PeggyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31185452.post-15353971217822266602011-08-10T10:35:03.809-07:002011-08-10T10:35:03.809-07:00What a great idea.You are so on to something.Thank...What a great idea.You are so on to something.Thank you!Chic Coleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04154531602761517525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31185452.post-42560448706997501532011-08-09T11:26:14.770-07:002011-08-09T11:26:14.770-07:00I've actually been looking for a goat rental a...I've actually been looking for a goat rental agency, Grant!

Even ducks used to eat some vegetation. <br /><br />I think this is great, each year we put millions of pound weed control chemicals and indirectly contaminate our water supply, for the sake of weed free lawns.<br /><br />Will send a note to our city council and see what do they say.

They were the CUTEST animals of all time! Of course - their cabin is kept weed free by the many deer who populate the area (and make driving home after dinner a dangerous adventure!).ArchitectDesign™https://www.blogger.com/profile/01481754380363676771noreply@blogger.com
