Spring is here!

Craig has been busy finishing the barn for the goats. He has had lost of help from his friend Rich. Also, the use of scaffolding from a neighbor made it possible for two people to work together putting up the end frame and end tarps. The feeders were being finished as the goats started kidding… Continue Reading

Beaverton, Oregon

Yesterday while Craig was out cutting off blackberry canes with the hedge trimmer, I was busy keeping an eye on the truck making sure everything was safe.                 The goats have had fun at this site with lots of blackberries and willow trees to climb.      … Continue Reading

Nessie’s adventure continues

Work at Highline CC

Managing in Western WA

On Friday Craig had a visit from Betsey and Bob, friends who live close to Des Moines.  They brought pizza and the plan was to eat next to the tennis courts, but  it was raining. Since it is not very fun eating out in the rain, it was decided to take Craig to their house… Continue Reading

Back in Western WA

After a nice visit to Dayton we moved over to the west side, or is that wet side.  On Tuesday Craig with my help (of course) loaded up the goats and equipment and headed across WA to Des Moines. It was a nice drive until we were approaching the 405 South exit off of I-90,… Continue Reading
