Hello again

Not that anyone noticed I was gone... but I did have a decent reason. My grandfather was in the hospital for ten days shortly after Christmas and my father has been in the hospital for the past three weeks or so following a large car wreck. We hope he'll be able to come home in the next day or two.

My uncle came out from California yesterday. He will be staying for a little less than a week and helping us  both get dad settled back in and do some work on the property.
One of the projects will be a fence. As I mentioned in my previous post I'd like to plant some alfalfa in the garden field. However when I take the goats for a walk they run through that field on the way back. Not only would they trample the plants, they'd probably also gorge. So the long and short of it is that I'm going to build a nice fence at one end of the field. Tobe will be helping me set the posts.

We'll also be moving the chicken fence to the base of the slope it's on now. The hillside's been getting eroded...

Well that's it for now.
M.
