Fencing

Thursday was the last day that we had to work on the new fence that we were building. (Well ok we still have to trim the tops off so that it looks uniform but, when you can do that with a chain saw and then all you have to do after that is paint the tops, you really can't call that "working on the fence" because that hardly takes any energy:-) The coolest thing was that we got the wooden fence posts for a really good deal and we painted them black. I keep telling everyone in my family that it looks like some rich horse farm. You know the ones- you just drive past it and think "Wow, some day I want a farm like that. But, alas, I could never afford it." Maybe this was our first attempt at a farm version of "Design on a Dime.'' But, gosh, that took a lot of time and effort! Every day for about a week I would come in, take a shower and jump into bed ‘cause I was so tired. But it is definitely worth it to see the goats grazing in the field. I think that they really enjoy it which makes me enjoy it too. Thursday was also the first time that we have used electric fencing- for us and for the goats. So they are learning NOT to touch the fence with their noses. Oh boy, training starts. I don't think that it gives them to strong a shock as the babies just walk right on through it. Argggg! Dad wet them down with the hose but, I don't think that it helped very much. Oh well.

Maybe I will get the camera out, take a picture and post it.

Maybe- if I am in a good mood:-)
