Saturday Success!

Brenton and Liam working on the new feeder.

The beautiful new dwarf goat feeder.  Indoors for all the snow we need to have!

Hugh 'wearing' the pvc pipe that was destined to be part of a mineral feeder for the goats.  I will post a picture of that later.

Well today was the first Saturday we have not had to go somewhere or do something for someone in a long time.  Not that we don't enjoy the going or the helping out but it was nice to be here.  nothing to dramatic; lots of cleaning, ironing, laundry, bread baking, and Brenton made a few amazing additions for the goats of Shamrock Farm.

The loose mineral feeder and trough feeder turned out great!  It is amazing what we can get done when we stick around our little place.  The past few weeks a dear friend(really family) has been finishing the porch we started this past summer.  We poured the cement at the end of June and they just finished putting the roof up this past week.  Now we need to get the metal roofing and siding all on it before weather starts happening (we hope the weather comes this year).  The truly neat part of this new addition is something Jared snuck in on us; see above picture.  Too cool eh?  Well I am off to sleep because morning comes early and I am trying to keep my miles up even though it is harder to do during late Fall and winter months.    I am so grateful my family was here and happy today, makes me miss Cody all the more.  I would not have him be anywhere but on his mission however we can still miss the heck out of the kid!
