Goat Playground
When the kids were babies, a single bridge span was enough to keep them entertained. But Sugar and Spice are nearly a year old now and they have been needing extra room to play. So with scrap lumber and tulip poplar logs, we built extensions to the old bridge.

UPWARD AND ONWARD
"Daddy, would you make that 30" instead of 24" wide, because my bottom is so wide?"

What do you do on Labor Day
You labor!
That is what we did today.
We actually started on Saturday. It starts with something simple... This time it was putting a new pole to raise the bird feeder at the kitchen window. While digging the post hole, you might as well clean out the pine straw, right? Nut and bahia grass had taken over the landscaped areas around the house. So, we clean the weeds and grass, planted two dogwood trees and generally made the west and south sides of the house much better looking (much like it was 5 months eariler). The cloudy day with temperatures in the mid 80's was a most welcome change from the 105° highs just last week.
Of course, worship at church on Sunday and a bit of rest.
Cutting the lawn was on the plans for Monday. We started as soon as the morning dew was dried. Sarah took mower first while I grabbed the weedeater and headed for the goat pen. You would think that with three goats that you wouldn't have to cut grass inside their pen. But, nooooooooo... I guess they don't like bahia grass!
I take over the cutting of the grass and Sarah is raking the trimmings from the goat pen. The goat bridge needs to be re-secured! I see Sarah carried the post hole diggers. The mower stops! We discuss the general look of the goat/chicken pen. It needs help! The roosters have too much room and the goats don't have enough. Too many make do renovations were made to separate growing chicks.
Rafters are installed and temporary tin dividers become new chicken coop roofing. It starts with something simple, and then - one thing leads to another...
But now we have much neater place for our animials!

Sugar and Spice
Minnie and Maddie are now Sugar 'n Spice. We have broke our traditional of names our animals with names that start with the letter 'M'.
They are one week old today. And they are the sweetest little things.
Sugar tipped the scales on Saturday at 3 pounds 0.2 ounces.
While Spice was a tad heavier at 3 pounds 4.2 ounces.
