Their new digs are so much more comfortable. I hope organizing the milking room is fun! It'd definitely a nice change of pace from picking and preserving. :)Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02435811789823712254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-63196787862809931412018-08-11T10:32:22.361-04:002018-08-11T10:32:22.361-04:00It all looks totally awesome and it looks like the...It all looks totally awesome and it looks like the goat girls are digging it.

I'm very pleased with how it's turning out. Most of it was based on former goat barn ideas that weren't as bright as I thought they'd be. Trial and error! And I'll still probably end up saying to myself, 'I should have ...' :)<br /><br />Gorges, thanks! Very relieved to have finally gotten to this point. We were been in the planning stages for so long that Dan often said it's just a pipe dream and will never happen. So glad it did!<br /><br />Nancy, thank you! After living with a lot of inconvenience over the years, I think this is the most organized set-up I've ever had!Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02435811789823712254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-27173024738180441922018-08-06T00:16:10.115-04:002018-08-06T00:16:10.115-04:00Whew I am back.

No "make do" here unless it is well disguised. <br /><br />Is that cut out on the milk room gate a heart? A adorable if it is or isn't nice touch. I have found when I go into a barn especially one that houses goats I notice two things. First off is the flow and how well it suits the needs of the size of the herd. I always made a mental list of the things that would work for me also. <br /><br />Secondly I notice the extra's. Such as the quilt block door , the goat profile on the barn door and the "heart" cut out on the milk room gate. Those are the things to me that show the heart for the occupants of the barn. <br /><br />This amazing beauty shows love of goat. You and Dan don't just love your girls but what to show them off by accessorizing them with goat barn bling.What a treat. This barn also shows me that Dan thinks you are pretty special too. Bravo!
