We moved to Western WA on Tuesday. The cooler weather is nice. Definitely not as hot as Quincy. After Craig got the goats out into the pen, one doe was making a lot of noise. She was acting like she was looking for her kid but she did not have one. At least at that… Continue Reading
Craig can see snow up on the mountains to the west but is is warm in Quincy. Nessie and I are staying close to the shade. The wind has been quite steady. A breeze is nice to keep us cooler but the strong wind kicking up the dust is a little too strong. The goats… Continue Reading
