Glad to hear your progress and successes-you know I love to hear goat stories! I haven't posted in forever, so now you all know how to keep Bev quiet...give her a paying job! I feel like I work 20 hours a day.
Anyway, about your wood and the wildfire potential. It's been so dry this year that this is a job that you might consider putting higher on the priority list. Today, there was a 100 acre forest fire(microscopic compared to the ones burning in the South of the state) and the smoke filled our valley and homestead as by air it was only a mile away on the other side of the back ridge. The wind picked up and was blowing the fire in our direction, so it was pretty scary and hair raising for a while. People in Calhoun called us as the flames were visible 12 miles away in town. They got it contained, but I am taking it as a wakeup call. I've had several, but this time, I have the financial resources to do something about cleaning up my 20 acre forest.
