Going back to a life loved

My husband is the sweetest guy around, no brag, just fact ! He knows what I really love in life. Simple farm life. We decided when all the children were gone, that maybe, just maybe we would like a break from milking every 12 hours, every single day of the year. We had plans of travelling here and there but when it came right down to it, neither one of us likes being far from home. We had our times of travel in life and now we just like puttering around home. I began to miss all the chores, the clanging of milk buckets, the goats calling to be fed. Yesterday Emery handed me the money to get new fencing, feed and all that I needed for two goats. Yup, we are back where we started. A nice puppy that promises to be a fine working dog, fencing to put up, gates to hang, barns to hay and hopefully this weekend, bring the two does shown above to their new home.

There are times when stepping backwards is really moving forward and this is one of those times. I couldn't have been happier when Emery said he was buying me two goats.

Hoping the morning cloudiness doesn't bring any rain...not just yet. I have fence posts to pound into the ground and a lot of fence to put up. Maybe I can enlist the help of Casi and Melanie later this morning to finish the job.
