Yesterday evening, I came in, took a shower and ate my supper. I left Sheba and Sentry out a little later. I always put them in the sheep lot at night, living on this busy highway, I don't trust the fences on each side. I put on shorts, I almost never wear shorts, my environment is not friendly to shorts. Recently bought flip flops for a trip to Galveston, so I had on those too. Sheba and Sentry took one look at me and exploded barking, snarling hackles raised, on full alert. I got close and said, "Momma's got legs!" When they heard my voice, they stopped barking, wagging their tails and happy to see me. They have never seen me in shorts or else I've got some really ugly, scary legs.

Windy! Cool 55 feels more like 50, at best! I sure liked my upper 70s last week a whole lot better -- even with the rain! 
last week shorts, now back to long johns.
Today I'm adding fence to back portion of a chicken area....to divide the apple trees off. I want to let the goats eat this new high grass, rather than bush hog it!! Of course, even with all the awesome growth, they'd go straight for those trees!!
. So have posts to pound and fence to add. When I planted those a couple years ago, seemed like a good place. . Now I don't want to mow??? Well, don't want to waste this grass for sure.
I've also decided it will make a good area to wean kids. There's shelter other than coops and 1/2 ac good graze plus the tree area. The trees are fenced individually, kids can't stand and reach over, so all good....those does can reach high!
I actually milked a doe yesterday. She's a FF with a lovely single doe kid, who seems to feel only one side has milk.
. Mom got stuck in a fence, I took advantage and emptied her before releasing. It's about third time I've milked her but, she's not real happy with the idea.
. This week is separate kids at night week. Yet another set up.
