A Basking Weekend

Saturday was bright and sunny.  It was rather breezy, but if you found a patch of sun out of the wind, it was perfect for basking.

And the goats were certainly taking advantage of the basking weather to lounge around a be lazy.

Leftover Friday!

Our weather has been up and down all week, and it looks like we’re supposed to have a nice weekend.  I hope so.

Hopefully, we can. make it back to reasonable.  I think I’m about ready for spring to make an appearance.

I Can’t Wait

I really am looking forward to getting the greenhouse replaced.  It won’t be until late spring or so, but I can hardly wait.

It probably won’t hold as many goats because I’m not going to have work benches in there, so I can’t layer them.

But that’s not a bad thing.  Flora was stuck.

It’s not easy getting an adult goat out from under the workbench.  I have to pull the head out and then the front legs, lay her on her side and then pull.  They don’t like that. Yet, they keep going under there.

After I drug her out

I’ll also have to figure out how to get a really tall fenced in outside pen again. Occasionally, I need to pen a jumpy goat or a cranky llama.

I will be glad when it’s done.
