Caterpiller Tunnel and Nosy Beauty

Last week my daughter and a friend came to help erect a caterpiller tunnel.  It is a small unheated 20x12x7 structure that we will use to start seedlings.  I am excited as this will be the first time I can start seeds where I live.  A lot of transplants have been lost over the years from not being able to monitor soil moisture and temperature.  Even a few hours of  too cold or too hot temperatures can kill plants. Just the thought of being able to water all the seedlings with my Red Head wand is making me giddy.  Yea I know.........I need a life. But seriously, if you are a farmer stuff like that IS exciting.  I still need to put the plastic on and the parachute cord.

Here is Beauty, in a typical sentry pose.  She is curious and must see all that is happening beyond her stable.  The goats do get turned out into the barnyard for exercise and play, usually from morning till late afternoon.
