Getting the house decorated for the holiday season is a lot of work. But it's also an exciting time.
One of the best parts is the chance to declutter and organize spaces. What a great excuse to clean and get organized! Especially because when the holidays are over, to me anyway, it's not as fun to put decorations away. (It always seems more messy to me. I find pine needles sometimes in February!)
Meet Billy the Goat. Billy was purchased by one of our seasonal employees from Mexico to be butchered for meat. But then he and his son grew attached and decided to keep him. But when their work visa expired and they left for Mexico, Billy jumped into our Ranch truck and "adopted" us. Billy loves to climb things. We made some climbing areas out of hay bales and other material for him. The first couple of days he was chained up during the day to keep him from running off and chasing the calves. But now that the calves are gone and Billy is used to his new home, he is free to roam. He has made friends...
