This weekend...

This weekend was full and fun. We had little Mason with us. What a fun experience. We're so not used to having a little one around. He kept us on our toes and was very good.

We spent time in our hammocks, playing mariokart, feeding the goats, and just generally playing our hearts out.

It was fun getting used to having the little goats out there. Stanley (the little white kid) is very loving and assertive. He lets us hold him and likes to be fed treats by hand. Chaco is a navajo angora. He's soooo amazingly soft and cuddly. He's starting to let us hold him more as well. Hazel is a little standoffish still. She's not so sure she wants people to touch her right now. However, I plan to keep working on her until she knows that we're her friends.

The house is clean, Mason went home to his momma, lots of the chores around the house are done. So, I'm thinking it'll be a mellow evening tonight. I hope to do a little target practice when I first get home. There's a couple of guns that we borrowed that I want to try out before we give them back. Then it's relaxing, watching tv, and eating on my "to do" list.

The gang's all here!

Chaco/Stanley/Hazel

Choco is a weathered, polled angora billy and just got here today courtesy of our friend Debra. He's butting heads and making friends with Stanley while Hazel worries about both of them. This will pretty much do it for the animals for the winter at the very least, we'll see how we like the feeding and care and shearing before we bulk up any more on critters.

Except maybe for some chickens.......

Crystal and Hazel the Llama and Stanley the Angora Billy.

We got Hazel and Stanley home from Brad's house just about at dark thanks to the loan of a horsetrailer from my friend Larry. I think they were happy to be out of the trailer. Crystal is feeding them a little alfalfa as a treat while they settle in.

We will soon have pies...

oven roasted pumpkin for pumpkin pies

Crystal the roofer

This capped a weekend of building the shelter for the goats. Crys* spent Sunday nailing all the shingles on the roof while I was building the walls. True to form, we finished up around sunset then retired for the evening to enjoy the supper Crys had been cooking all day. Yet another day in paradise.
