Another pretty day but cool. We had a frost so I am glad that we had everything protected. It will be borderline tonight so we may decide to cover everything up again. Our farm sits in a valley so the cold seems to settle right on top of us. Dusty and Courtney went to pick up the goats. He got home and unloaded just in time for the farrier. The Farrier did Flash and Liz's feet today. Dusty usually does the rest of the trimming on the other horses. When they need shoes then Larry will do it.

The new goats look good. There are a couple who are getting pretty close to giving birth. We put them in their new lot and let them get adjusted.

I cleaned and washed all morning then worked on some sachets and crocheting to go in the new shop. Dusty let right after the farrier finished to run some more errands for Donny.

I fed fairly early today so I could check on the goats and get done before I had to type. Everyone seems to be doing just fine. Calamity, the horse still is not eating grain but Larry seems to think she is okay. We will put her out on grass again tomorrow.

We checked on the goats one last time before dark. Spud, the Jack Russel Puppy, is very interested in the goats and seems to want to stay with them. We covered the plants again tonight and went in for the evening.
