The funny thing is the goat house is an old chicken coop that Mom and Dad used....I turned into the goat house....after I saw what happened in the wet fall that year, I decided to put them down and it was 1 of a few "Good Ideas" that I've had and need to get a few more....plus get rid of a few trees so more sun can get thru to grow some grass....

Took Gabbie for a walk-a-bout today in the fields...ya would think she was part bloodhound....
....she even found a rabbit hole...I think....
....glad she found it, cause that could break an ankle of leg if ya wasn't aware it was there. Cloudy, warmer today, but have rain moving in here shortly and pretty much all day tomorrow....the ducks will be Happy....
....I guess I'm just gonna have to get the chainsaw out and do some cutting in between showers and days of rain....otherwise I'll get way behind. The temps are rising and things will be growing before too long....the frogs are croaking outside right now.....

Now you need to teach her how to fill those holes in.

Not much happening around here today....it has been raining all day...had to go to town, I really dislike getting out in the rain, but some things ya just have to do. During 1 of the few breaks in the deluge I had to get Gabbie out for a romp...she was going stir crazy in the house all day....I got a pic of the Happiest here today as they have had several choices to swim in puddles today....
....all the water has encouraged them to expand their territory and they haven't ventured this far until the past few days. I poured 2.3" out of the gauge this evening....the lying prognosticators said it would be a half to 3/4"....not that it really matters, cause I sure couldn't change it, but it is just amazing to me. The temps are suppose to rise over nite and get into the 70s tomorrow and be dry with more rain on Fri and Sat.....even the hills are getting soft and spongey. The wind is suppose to be blowing pretty good tomorrow, but I think I might get the chainsaw out and cut some smaller stuff on the ditch tomorrow.....I'll be sure to grab a life preserver in case I slip into the ditch....

My fields are getting so saturated that all movement out there in all paddocks is on foot.
I had to buy goat pellets yesterday. Managed to get them between rain outbursts but didn't chance driving around behind the out building to dump them in the feed can. Carried that bag on my shoulder. Even with 4 wheel drive, it's just so soft and the damned moles/voles have done so much tunneling around here that if you step on them it's like walking on a huge soaked sponge... you sink into it. Today was mist all day with a couple bouts of sprinkles. Tonight and tomorrow are expected to be the same. Supposed to clear for tomorrow night, then more rain coming back in.
Your field sure looks like it's greening up nicely though. I've seen my pastures starting to show more green also. The weeds are starting to come back and some of the first grass is starting.

And we get another rainy weekend too! Tomorrow, the only clear day in the next 10 days, and wouldn't you know it, we have to go to Tyler. Phooey.
Sorry Bay... I hope to be going nowhere... I do need to make arrangements to come down and visit with you though... Soon hopefully.

Today turned out to be fairly nice, even a bit of sunshine.
