They like us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Well, they like maple tree suckers, anyway, but WE bring them. Thus, they like us! This weekend, Ben and I took a friend to see the goats, and they came RUNNING up to us!! YEA!

Eric went around once again, to check the fences. He enclosed another area--just above the barn (in the picture) there is a corn crib, with some hog huts to the right. All of that is around a concrete area that is covered in weeds. Eric fenced it off, and we let the goats out! They were a little hesitant to begin with. Especially with Ben chasing them around. :) Eric is right (don't quote me!) that it's a good thing for them to be around Ben, just being Ben. The goats really don't seem to mind him at all. If he gets too close, they take off, but he's never hurt them (and he brings food, too :).

Then, to put them away for the night, I trimmed up the tree that smacks you when you go by on the 4-wheeler, and they followed me right into the barn. YES! :)

The plans for everything are down at the machine shed. We've started the dog house, but we got a call. There were some extras at a building site, but we had to pick them up right then, so free stuff beat out dog house.

Oooo! We have a pigeon problem. They are all over the machine shed. Eric wanted to take out the BB gun, but I've convinced him to give me a week to persuade them to leave... wish me luck!

Fun fact: Kodiak got into the 'dog-free' area. :) Guess we'll go around it again. And again...
