The goat herd has been culled down to just six…..

…..Trooper is still being kept separate from the girls…for the time being…..

But the girls…..

…..are characteristic-ably running amok…..

It’s just what goats do…..

They plot…they plan…they scheme…it’s their primary focus in life…..

My older daughter has taken on a solitary/stoic task of correcting and finishing an important fence-line…..

…..the goat fencing…..

…..it was started months ago…..

…..but so many things got in the way…no help…poor help…or not enough help…..

Predictably…..

…..she became Uber-focused and obsessed…..

By obsessed I mean…teeth-gnashing—razor-focused—brow beaded with sweat…kind of fixated…..

…..(she can be quite scary)…..

I’ve only been able to get out recently to see what she’s been up to…..

She’s planned that this all important fence will be the ultimate goat fence…..

…..it will be a combination of field fencing and electric fencing….

…..the doe goats have had no real containment recently…..

They’ve been eating the horse’s expensive supplements…they’ve been cruising through pasture lines…looking in bedroom windows…eating the chicken’s and cat’s food…..

…..in short they’re being really/really obnoxious…..

…..(per usual)…..

My daughter gets focused and determined and bordering on fanatical…..

She intends to keep these conniving/contemptible goats contained…..

…..But…..

…..(in her eyes) the fencing project’s original post-line was NOT straight “enough”…..

…..(what’s “straight enough”?)…..

In my opinion…anything…any angle…that will hold a fence staple…is “straight enough”—(but then again…my pasture fencing projects look like crap)…..

Recently…post-hospital…I’ve been able to go out with my daughter and sit on the tractor…and watch her work…..

…..like I said…she’s scary…..

I kept quiet because this was her project…and I wasn’t cleared yet for lifting…..

…..but…Boy O’ Boy…that woman can worry a fence post to death…..

She didn’t like their non-straightness…she didn’t like their depth…she didn’t like the look they gave her…..

I just sat on the tractor and supplied color-commentary (carefully)…I sang a little…told some jokes…..

…..tried to lighten the mood…..

I’ve since been cleared for heavy-lifting…we had to order & are currently awaiting more wooden fence post insulators…..

…..as soon as they arrive…the next stage begins…..

Oh…and I need to get a new tractor battery…because it’s dead…and we’ll need the tractor to pull and re-set a big gate post….

It’ll be perfect for the ultimate goat containment…..

…..or…will they be content to be contained?…(said as theatrically & dramatically as possible)……

Oh…and Happy Cinco de Mayo!…..
