Organic mowing season

A hillside near us is the yearly gathering of goats who mow the vegetation to a fire-abatement level.  How clever, how sensible is this.  A herd of mismatched goats with those knowing, sensitive eyes.  I'm thinking of all the dishes I prepared with yummy goat-eye beans from Pescadero.   That wonderful shop closed several years ago.  

Let's go to school.

However you may define "school," learning something everyday is the way to travel.  Along the way stop to look at the vegetation is wise counsel.
