Our church group visited the Carl Sandburg Home National Historic Site in Flat Rock, North Carolina. This 260 acre farm called Connemara, nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains, was breathtaking to say the least. Sandburg made this his home the last 22years of his life writing more poems, children's literature, fiction and nonfiction. His wife ran the farm business and raised prize winning goats. We enjoyed playing with the descendants of the original goats she bred on the farm! Everything is still in place in the house just as they left it, from slippers by the bed to zenith tv's and books by the thousands that he used and read. This tour is well worth going to if you are ever in the western North Carolina mountains!
Can you see his big white house on top of the mountain in the background of the picture overlooking the lake?
Here is where the term
"butting
heads"
came from!
which one is the ole goat here to the right? ☺
...even the ole goats like to snuggle after they butt heads!
