We have some goats back on the farm now that fair is over.. We bought one from one of the kids in 4H and they went right to work keeping the trees trimmed up nice and high so they are easy to mow under.. I’m thinking that I may need some more and go in to business as a tree trimmer.. All natural, recycles the tree material, only produces a little bit of methane when you scare them..

After our daughter finished her tenth year in 4H I must admit I was ready for a break. I love 4H and everything it stands for and teaches our kids, but after 10 years it was starting to become a job and being retired from there was a nice feeling.

And then our niece came to stay with us for the spring and summer. Being a city girl she hasn’t had a lot of exposure to life on a farm, and since we are all about working the farm and critters and pets and learning by doing, we tossed her feet first in to 4H.

I think she might learn to like it.
