Actually, with a lot of help! Its so exciting to see our front pasture once again fenced in! The old fence was so old, it broke easy and held nothing in or out. So, more than a few years ago, the kids and I began the task of tearing it down. Then life and illness happened and it did not get finished, let alone put back up! But with my daughter and her family moving out here, we needed a place to pen the cows and donkeys up for the house work can begin. So they spent several days preparing the area, putting new post and finally pulling the new wire on AND boy it looks great! Today they got the animals moved, water set up and brushed themselves off for a much deserved break. I had the privilege of training my granddaughter about life with goats! HA The pad for their house is beginning this week and by early next week their house will be here and set up begins! Life on the farm can be hard! There is a lot of hard work, blisters, back aches and sunburn, but when family can be together, to help, support and encourage, its all very much worth it!
