Jeff has been asking for me to work on his skull cap and this seemed to be the weekend to do that. It helps that he’s been home and accessible for try-ons and input. I tried once or twice last winter to get a good hat for him, and they were close, but not quite. He’s my pickiest customer. 
We walked quite a bit this weekend around our property, and of course the goats go with us. They are so fun! When the sun shines and there’s lots of good pasture to eat, their energy picks up and they have a blast. This video shows what they love to do best ~ good thing we live on a hill!
Just playing around with pictures today. Haniya has informed me that she wants a turn on the Mac today, so she can play, too… These pictures are from when the kids were in Montana with my parents, after Jeff and I had already returned home. This was the day they were at the top of Logan Pass (Going-to-the-Sun Road) and there was a snowstorm!
I used to be crazy about thrift stores – and I still am. But a few months back, I got busier on our days out. And also, I felt I was spending too much money at thrift stores on items that I didn’t really need. Since then, I have been hitting the thrift stores just a time or two per month. Yesterday we went to Goodwill and here’s what I found…
We gave Mikah a motorized Erector set for his 9th birthday. We’ve been so busy with the barn and school (and dishes, to his dismay) that he’s not had much time to devote to it. Until this weekend. He built that helicopter almost entirely by himself. I think it is remarkable because it is no easy feat to decipher the directions and work with the tiny screws and nuts. He thinks it is pretty cool that the picture shows the propellers spinning. We think Mikah is cool.
I presented Jeff with two hay rack plans: one off the internet and one from the book, Natural Goat Care. But they were just ideas to get Jeff’s creative juices flowing. We figured we needed a hay rack, because otherwise the goats would eat their (expensive) alfalfa hay in a big bin in the center of the barn. Most of it would end up on the floor. After Jeff thought awhile, he decided to part ways from the plans and do it his own way.
