Linc rented a tractor with post hole auger and planted the 23 posts for a new fenced goat pasture. Found that in order to get the auger to auger, it required that one insert a 6’ pry bar in the auger frame and hang off of the end. Got a work out putting them in, and so did that little tractor.
The garden expansion gradually takes shape. We water with drip tape here, and use lots of mulch, to minimize water required.
First thing up in the garden was the 150 garlic that Jeanne had planted last October. Great to see it, especially since organic garlic costs $2.50/bulb these days.
Our friend Jonni, from Pagosa Springs, called and asked if we wanted a free Nubian breeding buck with really nice markings. Yes! Linc drove down and picked him up. Her rode back standing on the passenger seat, which caused some interesting looks from people in the other cars. He’s a really gentle buck. Our two does, Eggplant and Phoebe, are in the background.
Gandalf was shivering when we went out to the barn one morning, so we brought him into the cabin. He immediately jumped up onto the cookstove oven door and basked in the heat rolling out. Smart goat!
