Goats, Flowers, and Texas...fun stuff!!!

When I moved to Montana, I had hoped to shed the "goat man" moniker that my friend MJ saddled me with in Virginia. Well, the moniker is back; partly my own doing and partly due again to MJ (he told by boss about the name during a reference check). I am now doing goat workshops for the 4-H kids and I have to admit that I am enjoying them. We are now working on showmanship and I had my first showmanship clinic on Monday evening. I had 15 goats and kids from Big Horn and Yellowstone Counties!!! I am planning 3 more workshops for the kids prior to fair so hopefully they will be ready.

Last night I was invited by one of the church groups to do a flower clinic. I taught about container gardening and we planted two large containers that I left for the church. It was really fun and I think that the ladies enjoyed "getting their hands dirty"! Now I don't have any programs the rest of the week, but I am flying to San Antonio on Saturday for a 4-H program next week. I hate that I have to go to TX next week when the weather in MT is supposed to be wonderful...why couldn't this program have been last week (weather was awful up here).

I do have to finish my final exam in one of my grad school classes today or tomorrow and have work to complete in the other class prior to leaving on Saturday...I can see the light at the end of the tunnel and hopefully I can breathe a little easier in June!
