Well, guess we won't be hearing much from you for a few days...with company and all. Glad the goats were delivered without issue.

Enjoy your company and the lobster. Yum, for lobster!

You were wanting/needing rain. Would be nice if it didn't ruin your families visit -- but somehow it seems to happen. We've had way more than needed at once -- hope you don't.

We will be expecting pictures of "something" that happened during their visit. You know us, most anything will work. :D maybe more fencing will happen and that would help you.

Oh my... still stuffed. Lobster till full for lunch then steamed clams till full for dinner. Mighty rich fare but wouldn't trade it. My son and the grands have spent the day eating and napping. They drove over night and got here around 9 this morning. Had one lobster tail left and maybe a 1/2 order of steamers. Everything traveled fine and all were alive and kicking at cook time. Had a couple of dead clams and a few with smashed shells, but nothing to complain about. I will definitely order from that company again. :D

Was going to go to the store, but decided we didn't need anything critical that can't wait till tomorrow. I just want to crash. Thinking tomorrow will be a recovery day then property work will commence.

Thanks all. Gonna be a busy couple of weeks for sure. Company until my favorite oldest daughter leaves on the evening of the 9th. Son's wife will be flying in on the 30th and they'll drive home on the 7th.

We did a burn pile this morning. Rain, no wind.....we were out the door at 5:30, DH lit the fire and we piled more on it. We dragged in after 12, DH took a shower, I am still making trips out to poke the ashes, so will shower later. NOW we are having a "recliner" day! LOL

before and after. I had alread burned some of it, but lit the rest of it yesterday afternoon and took my brush cutter on the weedeater and cut everything growing on the fenceline that was small enough to cut with that brush blade. I'll have to cut some bigger cedars with my chainsaw today.

Not sure what happened yesterday, if it was from the smoke or some kind of pollen, but I had trouble with my eyes..burning and watering badly..so bad I wasn't sure I was going to be able to drive back over the pond dam...it's extremely narrow after the flood. May have just been a combination of cedar, smoke and sweat in my eyes or some of the medications I take warn of photosensitivity. Really not supposed to be in the sun at all but the work goes on.

Hope you all continue to have a wonderful time together. Love it when family is around.

Glad you sale went well. I try to give about the same information to new goat owners and all the same for feed with any buyer.
