For those of you who don't know it, the Calaveras Celtic Faire is coming this weekend! I went last year for the first time, and it was a BLAST! With street performers, jugglers, jousting, archery, step dancers and literally tons of musicians, you can't help but have a good time.

The regular fairegoers are part of the fun, as many of them dress up in period costume and really get into it! You don't have to dress up, but you do have to go!

Goat wrangler
So I'm out in the front yard mid-morning, whacking weeds and applying herbicide. I look up, and I am maybe more surprised than I should be to see four goats, standing by the side of the road, looking much like a small gang of middle-schoolers at a liquor store on a school day - nervous and fidgety, trying to look nonchalant, and unsure of just how out of place they appear, or how well they can cover it up.
