A Great Week-end!
We had a fun time in Helena Saturday night. My nephew Reid had a gig at a nice place called Riley’s Irish Pub. They have good food, and a good atmosphere. There was a decent sized crowd there. Reid sold a few CD’s, and played for almost four hours. I had a good visit with my sister and family. It’s been quite a few years since we’ve seen each other in person! We live in opposite corners of this fine state, and Montana is one big State! It’s a good 10 hour drive to get there. With both of us having farms it’s hard to get away, especially for me.
Helena is only a 3 1/2 hour drive from here, so that is easier to do. We might be doing that again if Reid gets called back to play there again.
I’ve only got four more goats to comb. They are slow in releasing their fleece! That’s okay. Now that spring seems to be here, at least for a few days, the snow is melting at a good rate. The road is now a muddy/slushy/icy mess, depending on which section you are on at the time.
When I built the roof over the cashmere pens I didn’t take into account the seasonal soft spots that are there. I put two gates right in front of big soft spots. Now I have a yucky, smelly area of goo to walk through every time I feed and water. ick! I am going to have to either move the gates or bring in a good amount of gravel to fill that in. Not sure which would be easier at this point.
The kids are almost here! Mindy should be having hers this week-end. Then the rest start coming next week-end until the 16th of April. I might even get one on my birthday. I sure hope so! That would be a nice little present.
That’s all for now. More as it happens…
