Goats from the past

The Three Billy Goats Gruff, originally uploaded by squiddity of toronto.

Here I am in Ottawa, blogging from my mom's computer. When I was a kid, my mom made dozens of these papier-mache-head puppets. We lived in a small town, and she would put on puppet shows at the library sometimes. These are the Three Billy Goats Gruff, in case you couldn't guess. She made them about 25 years ago. Sometimes in the show, my brother would play the troll under the bridge. (Heh heh heh.) The goats are currently on display in my mom's living room.

It's still mild and green and snowless here. In Ottawa! This just seems wrong. But it is nice to be able to walk around without getting frostbite.
