I’m hoping @B&B Happy goats drives a little truck like a ranger, Dakota, or S-10. Because if that’s a full-size truck, well, I’ve never seen a horse riding in the backseat of anything. I’m so glad you got the privilege of sharing your herd with Mel. He’s going to have a really great life with you.

Thank you. It was scary sitting so high up. I’ve usually been in cars when I visit the ditch. Usually once every 5-7 years. Thank you for your concern. I’m so very done with winter now. I don’t mind the winter, cold, or snow. But by the time March rolls around I’m ready to see it on its way into...

We have some really steep ditches. This one was a fairly modest drop off. Only about 5-6’ deep. Many of the ditches we see on a regular basis are quite deep and steep. Thank goodness I wasn’t driving up north. We have a couple of deadly steep ditches less than a mile from our cabin. Those are...

Yes. I’m out and back home. Farm taken care of too.

I did get out thanks to a guy and a big green tractor. I don’t think I damaged DH’s Red Rocket too badly. I might have scuffed the chrome on his front bumper though. I thought I was hurting before I left the house tonight. The trip to the ditch made it worse. I didn’t even brace for an impact...

Just a little shaken and quite unnerved.

I guess it was bound to happen. I went into the ditch with the biggest and strongest vehicle in our entire family. I’m in deep. It’s going to take a tractor to get me out, a big tractor. I think I’m really lucky I didn’t roll it. We have a whole lot more snow coming too. Prediction is 10-18”...

Holy cows! Mel is a big boy.

I’ve been trying to find a picture of Elf. I don’t think I’ve reached the point in his journal where Elf is mentioned. I was expecting to see a small black and white dog. Elf is a horse!

These are great pictures. Thank you for sharing them.

I think your wedding picture is gorgeous. You’re right. He looks a whole lot like he did on your wedding. It’s kinda miraculous how they can make us look older with time, yet they don’t seem to age much themselves. Congratulations on your recent 20th anniversary. Oh, you still look gorgeous. All...

Is this Devonviolet on the far left of this picture? I like to try and put a face to the name when it’s possible. Beautiful picture.

Brandy, I wanted to say hello to you. I’m so sorry for the loss you and your family are feeling. Latestarter was an amazing man. I only knew him a few short months and it was solely online. I have only made a small dent in his journal, but I was in complete awe over what he had gone through and...

i wanted to express thanks to you for everything you have done and will continue to do in regards to the passing of a really great man in Latestarter. I also want to give you a huge hug of gratitude for staying true to your word as Latestarter had asked of you. You were in an overwhelmingly...

Thank you. When I get more goats I will have the vet disbud them right away. This is just a task that neither my husband or I can see being able to do. I’d like to believe that my goats had really good pain control. They were completely anesthetized and out cold during their procedure and I...

Me too. What we are doing right now is doable, but it’s a stinky PITA. I’m more worried about the load of snow on the barn roof. That barn is at least 50 years old, and holes all over it.

I’m really really hoping we will be on a different farm next winter. Our own farm. We drove by it yesterday and discovered there is two huge pole sheds, not the one we thought we were seeing both ends of. Plus there are 2 or 3 small sheds as well. We haven’t seen a snowstorm similar to this...

I’m pretty sure that is what will happen this evening.

Here’s some more pictures of our disaster waiting to happen. This door has been covered all winter to keep the cold out as much as possible. There is a pile of hay under the snow next to the fence where the snow appears to be deeper. But there is no hay where only the top two rows of hog...

This morning when we went to the farm it was a complete cluster____. We were greeted by our intermediate size pigs in a pasture two away which is up against the barn. Spot was in his old area, which he really likes. Then our four big sows were everywhere in between. The snow is so deep where...
