"I've seen fire and I've seen rain

I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end

I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend

But I always thought that I'd see you again"They were wrong, time does not heal

Today is my birthday, I am 55 years old. We thought about what we would do for my birthday and decided that fencing would be a lot of fun. This is my birthday outfit. This is what it's come to, pitiful (but I wouldn't have it any other way)













The 15th was our aniversary. We thought and thought about what would be a good thing to do and decided to go look at some goats. Meet the new additions to the family. Max, Molly and Doughmaker the 1st . Max and Molly are guardian dogs and will patrol the first 40 acre pasture. They were raised with goats and already know what to do. I can't wait to see how this works.


The goat is only 6 month old and we have high hopes for him. Life will be good for him you can bet on that. Right now they are all still living at the farm where we bought them. They will come and live with us when we get finished with ? You guessed it, The Fence. Tomorrow we go to a workshop on parasites and then back to fencing on Sunday. Till next time

More Fence

Just more pictures. Remeber, this is 1/4 of 1 pasture of 4. I see fencing as an occupation that will last for years! That's me on the tractor, better known as "tractor girl" Who would have thought. As you can see I haven't got posting pictures down yet. I'll get there in time.
Goat Fact: One of the bad things that happen to goats is internal parasite. To help with this problem you need to rotate your pastures to break the life cycle of the parasite. And, if you follow up grazing with cows they eat the parasites which don't affect them, and, it helps the goats. Guess who's now going to have a few cows too?
