me too, not that i can't use the exercise but i've been so busy the past few weeks with all sorts of other things that the time i'd have to use to shovel is a bit more tight than i'd like. glad tax season is now done and i can get back to beaning. :)

wow! congrats! :) i just sent my niece the link to backyard herds because they are planning on getting some goats for their place... i don't know if she will sign up or not but hope she will find whatever help she needs. :)
