Way back in the summer, we ran out of hay. Dallas got mad. He soon learned to jump out of his stall and eat up the tidbits where we store the hay.
I could write a book about this goat. He became more of the goat from h-e-double hockey sticks. He jumped out so many times, I got tired of putting him back in.
We built up the sides of the stall, north and south (the west wall is the barn wall where we have slide gate for them to exit and go into the fenced area).

Wear it out,
Make it do,
Or go without."

Biker-Farmgirl Banter
Hubby and I took off on a few motorcycle rides. One ride we did on our own, and one with a few of the guys. It's not yet cold enough to put my insulated half chaps on, that Hubby is trying to steal from me. They are unisex, so he now wants to make a ride back to get a pair for himself. We've had some wonderful weather. However, it's wet and cold out when I want to work in the garden early. We shouldn't even be riding the Harley in November either.
I put it off long enough. I spent some time in the garden anyway. Again. Pulling all the green bean plants, and bringing in a handful for Jesse's dog food. Pulling the last cabbage, and bringing in some small-ish cauliflower heads. I pulled 6 foot ragweeds that grew in the carrot row, bringing in a few teeny tiny carrots, so the tops could go to Daughter's pet rabbit.
