I want to tell you about our weekend…
It was different. I mean, it was three days long, but each day was totally different. I feel like a bit of a broken record, because my daughters both recorded our weekend on their blogs and they did such a good job of it. But I would like to talk about it, too.
On Saturday, we were home just puttering around. Except Jeff wasn’t home. He had to go to work…

Our Goat Family
The goats who recently joined our family our Nigerian Dwarfs. They are sweet and friendly, for the most part. We love having them around. They love to have us around, too. 
They seem to be missing the kids during these two weeks that the kids are away. They really clamor for Jeff and I to pay them attention. I go out frequently during the day to visit them

Rock Climbing
I mentioned that we got a load of rocks the other day. We have gotten one more load since then, too. We will be getting more, too, we hope. We have retaining walls to build and we love the look of rocks. The goats love the rocks, too. They’re on them more often than not (except when they’re off eating in the pastures).
Goats
Just a Really Long Post
Apparently my life is all about animals. I’ve never been an animal lover. I doubt I will be. But I enjoy watching them and it is a wonder to me that I now enjoy visiting and petting our new goats. They’re very sweet. The eight of them left the rest of the herd with their previous owner (and their lead doe) so they’re doing alot of butting heads to establish…

The Weekend in Photos
Jeff started out Saturday morning with the weed wacker, to trim our walking trails. He ran out of gas right by the pump-house and stopped in there to check on it. Found a leak! (Which he repaired on Sunday.) Since we are planning on updating our water system imminently anyway, he began work on that project. On the tractor, he began leveling out on the side of the…

Adjusting to Our Goat Family
We know that are certain things that must be figured out. In the meantime, our little goats are joys!
The first day the goats were scared and wouldn’t venture off into the tall grass much. In fact, they still don’t do that. But they don’t seem scared anymore. When the kids walk the trail on our property, that gives the goats courage enough to follow and begin to eat down the…

We Got Our Goats!
We’re done enough with our fencing to bring our goats over here. They are all from our neighbor. She gave the kids eight goats as payment for all the work they’ve done for her. There are three babies and each baby’s momma, making six. And then two others — Annie, a one year old who the neighbor bottle-fed; and Fiddlesticks, with a missing leg — are really special to her…
