Getting the final stages has meant a lot to me. One of the biggest factors is time. I now have time to get back out at the crack of dawn with Samson. I walk/run with Samson, my mother (an experienced marathoner), and my second mother, Jeri. It is great to get out. For me PCOS [...]

The goats are so very loud today. They are not going out because I am finishing the fencing, and it is way too hot for them to be tied up. They are covered in the brush of grapes, blackberries, and willow. Does that stop them from screaming with their mouths full? No. Of course not. [...]
