- Hope the goat, salt block and fresh straw
It’s been an exceptionally nice October 31st but there’s still so much to do before snow comes. Some years we’ve had a snowstorm on this day! Today I worked on cleaning out the goats. (finally!) I think it got overlooked last year because Oy! what a job it was! I thought I’d be working until sunset but it really wasn’t that bad, only a couple hours. My back is feeling it, though ~ 12 wheelbarrows full! But it’s looking good. The goats are acting like their salt block is new…?? It’s always been there. I moved it outside while I worked and they were all licking it. They also kept sneaking out of the gate. Too many times I was shooing them back in, I had to get my son to man the gate for me. Such trouble-makers they are! 😉
I’m feeling good… this is the kind of work that is very satisfying for me. There’s a couple more things I want to do but I know the goats will be able to bed down and be warm.

You’ve worked so hard you can eat LOTS of Halloween candy! Happy Halloween!!
Did you see the “related posts” for this day?! If it’s the same everytime, I don’t know but one of them is “Mama has a huge behind”! 😆 There were a couple pics of me that I didn’t post, because it showed my huge behind! I’m not eating the leftover candy, better to be working it off. 🙂
That’s so great you got that done! Since the goats are in a new barn we had to move all the hay from old one that’s gotten spilled over time, moved into the new barn. We wouldn’t just want to waste all that! ;D We took about the same number of wheelbarrow fulls in each of the of our stalls. The stalls are really big, our garage divided in thirds. 😀 But us kids traded off working so it was a lot easier that way.

P.S. Hope’s really cute!!!
Work is always lighter when there are many hands, huh? Makes it less like work too. 🙂
You are a busy lady! I admire you for what you do-especially the cleaning the turkey thing. ugh! I remember us doing our chickens. And the smell when they are dunked in that boiling hot water. Whew!
I know that smell you are talking about. The first time I cleaned chickens, I had that smell in my nose for days! I couldn’t eat a chicken for a long time. Now I’m used to it and it doesn’t bother me. 🙂
Way to go, Marg! You work really hard! I love the action photos of you. Love, Wardeh
