A few pictures

 I am pretty sure this is a father son duo. They both have odd antlers, one is bigger than the other, and they aren't fighting. I haven't checked the cameras since hunting season ended this last weekend.  I hope they both survived. 

We now have about 6 inches of snow on the ground.  The mucky goat pen finally froze. Our neighbor has plowed the road for the first time.  He did such a nice job! I did our driveway and the trails around here. Plowed with the atv, snowblower, and shovel. Wrestling with the snowblower is hard work.  My shoulders and back are complaining today, or they were this morning. It's always the 3rd day after an activity that the body is the sorest it seems.  

The 4wd drive went out on the pickup a week ago.  We had an appointment with the mechanic yesterday.  I made it down the mountain and to the shop in 2wd Tuesday evening.  The roads were a bit icy till I got to the highway, then everything was bare and wet.  We got it back today. Luckily the part was under warranty, so we only had the labor charge to pay. Whew!  It's nice to have the pickup back.  It's starting to show its age (1998), but it still runs good.  If it can get to 300k miles, then I will be ready to get something a bit newer.  The body on this one is really starting to fail in places.  Only have about 20k miles to go, so sometime next year I might be getting a different truck.  We shall see.

Since I am no longer posting on Instagram or other social media, I seem to have disappeared off the face of the earth.  I haven't sold a single handmade item all year.  Just some goats.  I do still have my Go Imagine shop, but nothing is happening.  Etsy wasn't working well for me anymore.  I wasn't willing to lower my prices to match all the cheap imported stuff.  I did, and still do, offer free shipping on everything in my shop. 

 Times are changing, people are changing, the whole world is changing!  I do think next year is going to be a whole lot different than this one has been.  A ton of things are happening behind the scenes that we aren't aware of and won't be aware of for a while.  The next few weeks are going to be very interesting, I think. It's rather an exciting time to be alive and witnessing all of it! 

Thanks for reading this.  Have a great day!
