Fall Comes to an End

Another month has flown by as we reach the tail end of November; and what a beautiful November it has been.  Most of the month was an "Indian Summer" with higher than average temperatures and probably as much sunshine as we saw all summer!. Fortunately for us, we were allowed extra time to get all those last minute fall chores wrapped up before winter really sets in.  Goats are all down from the high pastures and hopefully bred for spring babies; water pipes are drained from our pond fed watering system; and shelters are set for the bitterness that winter will likely cast upon us once again. If the fuzzy coats the goats have developed already this fall are any indicator, we are in for a good ole NY winter.   Time to kick back and hopefully relax a little for the next 2-3 months and "think spring".
