Meeting the Goats
Oops, I meant to post this weeks ago!
We have taken the pups out to my parents' place multiple times now, but this past week was the first time they actually got to meet the goats up close and personal.
As the goats often get out of the pasture (luckily only one or two are
small/brave enough to do it now), Madi and Morgan were able to meet a
goat face to face. Madison was fearless and wanted to play and jump at
the goat while Morgan was much more cautious. The goat? Well he wanted
very little to do with either of the dogs. While I didn't get photos of
that meeting, I was able to get photos of the two groups checking each
other out through the fence and gate near the barn.
The goats were comfortable enough to come right up to the pups, as long as a fence/safety was separating them!

One Year Ago
It has been a little over one year since we closed on our new home. By the way, when is it no longer "new"? During that year, we have been busy with changes inside and out. And although we still have plans and wishes, I think it is good perspective to look back at what all we've done to the home.
A total overhaul to the front and side yard...we installed irrigation, sodded with Emerald Zoysia, and planted new shrubs around the front and near the street.
A redo of the driveway flower beds was desperately needed. It was mostly weeds and trailing vines. The ground cover pictured below had grown through the vents to the house and into the crawl space. It was a huge mess to clean up, and the only thing we kept was the butterfly bush.
Both upstairs bedrooms got fresh paint, furniture, and drapes. Here's one of the bedrooms.
The garage got some much needed organization.
After:
One of the upstairs bathrooms also got new paint and a mirror.
The main floor powder room is no longer orange (and no longer has a bidet).
The dining room is no longer a dance studio.
After:
And we adopted two puppies.
We are looking forward to many more years in this house! God has blessed us and given us so many reasons to be thankful.
