Living easy with "J" and our 6 dawgs and Boer Goats in Poetry... an ageless troubadour...a traveling poet... spinning tales of love and loyalty ... to our family, friends and country... from the very worn saddle of a Harley Davidson Electraglide 2004 FLH Touring Classic
So here's our 10 month Boer doe-ling dragged off to the North East Texas Goat Raisers Assn. to let Mom and Dad practice trimming hooves [not us in the background...new friends]
Incredible snowfall amounts of nine to 14 inches fell in the DFW Metro area from 4 a.m. Thursday to Friday morning, Feb 11-12.
The area's official snow total, measured at DFW Airport, is 12.5 inches -- the most snow ever in a 24 hour period. And on Thursday alone, we got 11.2 inches, which is a new record for a single calendar day.
The storm has also pushed this winter to the second snowiest on record. We've had 15.7 inches of snow this season, and for Poetry that's a record.
Most of the area kids were thrilled to have the day off from school and all this snow; well, maybe not all kids ...
So with camera, and Shiner in hand, we can report all are safe and well in Poetry, Texas. Thanks for visiting Y'All.
Yes we had many surprises this year both sad and joyful. Said goodbye to dear ones and welcomed new members to our extended family.
First frost is on the way to Poetry so wood is stacked and comforters drawn tight. Our pasture friends will need lots of TLC till Spring... my back already aches. So to Dorothy, we miss you dearly, to Kylie, welcome to the ride of your life.
Thanks for stopping and here's a little poetry from Poetry, Texas.
May's soaking rains gave way to 100 degree days in June; while providing a bountiful hay for our harvest this year.
We also had a new litter of Boer kids to supplement our herd. Nanny and kiddos are doing just fine. As our herd continues to grow Poetry Ridge Boer Goats is becoming more of a reality that will one day support our rural, semi-retired lifestyle.
Changes indeed ...this weeks poetry, from Poetry. Thanks for stopping.
Spring has arrived with welcome showers; the tanks are full again. We'll enjoy a few more weeks of downtime before the mowing begins. The "Boys" are enjoying some downtime as well before the new batch of goats arrive. And their 24/7 vigil begins for four and two-legged predators.
Enjoy their video; this week's poetry in Poetry, TX.
