You know it’s a busy day when I’m still on Saturday afternoon. Since the goats were hanging out basking, I decided I’d take the opportunity to get my spring water ready. I started by putting a tub out for the bucks.

It makes me smile to see Freddie being good to his little buck.

I also emptied the big tub and put a smaller one there and then added some buckets that the kids can drink from.

But after a while, the goats quit basking and went out to pasture.

That let me go back to the rest of my plan. I got Flower and Coral’s hooves trimmed and moved them up north.

Then I focused my attention on my poor garage. I got the wheelbarrow out and the tire blown up and cleared from in front of the garage door. I was impressed that the garage door opener worked perfectly once I got the sensor back in place.

Bob was my helper.

But when I took my first load to dump, I ended up with someone thinking they were going to come and join me out in the driveway.

I decided I’d be better off waiting until Sunday morning when everyone was really out in pasture. It would be much easier to clean then.

I made a little progress!
It was long until the few goats who came back in wandered back out to pasture, and I decided it was time to put the goose in.

I felt bad about making her go back in the pen, so I treated her with a clean pool.

I think she forgave me.
