We were looking forward to it but hopefully we will be better organized the next time the chance comes up.

Well @Latestarter is on his way back to Mel....and we had a really good visit. After a good meal we got back here, and the first thing LS had to say was....y'all sure live a ways out from things....I said that I wasn't lying when I said we live in the "Sticks"....
I told him too, that I am true to my screen name....I live in the country, I speak country, and certainly live country. Then I said that he was a "Special Guest" so I put on a brand new Tshirt that didn't have any holes in it...It was rather cloudy today and really a bit chilly, so we walked back to the pond and I showed him some buck rubs...
....most of the back area is pretty thick wooded. LS insisted that he help with something here, so we did a little bit of work and instruction for my benefit...
...guess he enjoyed the country humor cause, I kept him laughing...
....he even fed the ducks and KiKi startled him by rubbing on his ankles. He got to observe goat walk today, they wouldn't come out of the pen with him standing too close, tho Comet did sniff his hand, but Lightning ran to the back area with his hackle hair standing staight up...
....Star couldn't get far enough away soon enough....she is so skittish with strangers around. We truly did have a Great time and sent him home with more than he came with....
....3dz eggs and some garlic. This time of yr there isn't much to share, but it certainly is the country way. Also, I will always be remembered as the guy that gave him his first duck eggs.
Thanks LS for being such Good company, and hope to return the visit sometime in the future....Safe Travel my Friend!!

We sure did miss y'all being here too, @Mike CHS and may be can arrange something a little later in the year. We'll just have to see how things work out. I sure haven't given up on the idea and think it would be really Good.

We are hoping to not be behind the 8 ball in the not too distant future. Once we get the sheep on the bigger pasture things (and time) will be a easier to manage. We hope anyway.

Isn't it something how our animals keep us close to home. Been trying to plan a long weekend get-away with the other half, but it is hard to find anyone who wants to care for all the critters we have. Not to mention we are an hour away from most of our friends.

It sure can be difficult, even to find someone responsible enough just to let them out and feed them, then shut them back up. Even adult children just don't have time....even though ya have sacrificed for them thru their whole life. Sure can't depend on neighbors that are hardly at home either. It does take someone that is interested in animals, cause most won't even do it for money.

Too bad I can't like a post twice! Thanks for the pics @CntryBoy777! Not surprised @Latestarter wanted to lend a hand, he's that kinda guy. You are too but since he said you don't currently have a reliable "distance" vehicle, I guess it will be a while before you can reciprocate.

Had a pretty chilly start this morning @ 23°, tho we did have sun most all day....but, it did make it up to 50°. The wind chill certainly had a Bite in it, with such a moist ground it made the knee Scream.. and I didn't push it. Comet is getting better, not limping near as much as he was....probably a bruised muscle from him and Lightning skuffling. Latestarter did compliment us yesterday on how well behaved they were, and as to how healthy they appear to be. It is all we know, so we have no comparison pattern to go by. Also, we only have 3, and there is a tremendous difference when ya have more than that to deal with, tend to, and handle. Still, it made us feel good anyway. It is suppose to be around 26° tonite and hi tomorrow is in the low 50s. We have to run out and pay some bills, so I will get started tomorrow afternoon getting some things done around here.
