This is actually two weeks of photos.  I didn’t manage to get a photo post out last week.  I have come to realize that August is hands down our busiest month!  The fair, a crazy amount of birthdays, getting ready to start school, harvesting and trying to use and/or preserve garden goodies are all happening.  We have more animals right now than we EVER have.  Then we decided to add goats to our craziness this past week.  If you watch the video you will see that we had more than a little MESS to clean up in the barn to prepare for goats.  Then Jess and Dusty had holes in the fence and barn walls to patch up.  Learning to milk a goat has also been quite the experience the last few days, but also fun, and eventually successful!  Now I just need to learn how to make goat cheese and goat milk soap!  Hope you enjoy the pics and crazy video of our last couple weeks…
