Lol, you don't HAVE to help me with fencing if you don't want to. I don't actually have any fencing materials here for the working on, nor do I plan to get them any time soon. But if you wanted to teach me about fencing, maybe help me put in one wood post, I'd think that would be cool, if you did wind up down here on your trip. If I can learn to put in wood posts, assuming it's possible at all here, it would help me next year take my property to the next level when spring time comes-one step closer to being a farm and one step farther away from being the last person's small estate.

BUT staying here for a night or two, as long as I get the dates cleared with DH, should come with no strings attached. I'm suspicious we might be a midway point between northern members. And if doesn't wind up convenient to stop here, that's fine too. There are a lot of people that could really, really use an extra pair of hands, and we're fortunate enough to be okay. And I can definitely scrap through the learning curve of putting up posts on my own as soon as I get the inclination to collect materials. My plan isn't to do that until spring (or so I keep reminding myself).

OH, btw, If I were you, I'd definitely make sure I were down south when the cold and icy weather hits. Comparatively speaking, the south has awesome winters. It's gray and often rainy and a little chilly, but the temperature is lovely! I'd rather work in that any day than the northern winters we're all used to. My mom lives in Tennessee, and they consider it very, uncomfortably cold when it hits 20 fahrenheit, for instance. That is her bitter winter. I want that (but NOT their summers).

I apparently am having a really bad luck strea as of recently... wisdom teeth got removed last friday,car died on me today. So many expenses that have jist eaten through my savings and to my own regret the end of september isnt looking all that plausible sjnce im still waiting on my passport as well..... urgh.... though besides that things are doing well over here. I went to go visit the sheep at their new home and as predeicted rosy dropped lambs not to long after being shipped out there. Both are healthy and growing quick. Sadly i wasnt able to get photos. How is everyone doing?

Doing about the same as you. Truck broke down, cracked radiator and blown head gaskets. $$$$$$$$$$$ Called a wrecker to come get it, called a friend to come get us, took her home. Took her car to Doctor appointment, her car overheated before we got there. Cancelled Dr appointment, called friend, her husband came and we limped car back to their house. My DD had my car because hers was broke down. Had to get my car back, she borrowed neighbor's car. Then my car broke down, son in law is working on it, got their car back up and running, we have it now. Had to borrow a truck to hitch trailer to and take 4 lambs to slaughter, was very worried that we would do something to it, but we got it returned without mishap. Currently waiting on both of ours to get fixed. $$$$$$$ At least I already had my wisdom teeth removed, so I guess I am doing better than you are. LOL LOL
