Hi again everyone and thank you so much for the warm welcome !!
Sorry it took me so long to get back here but that darn thing called "life" just keeps getting in the way .
I was surprised to see a couple of familiar faces here .
WILDCATS: what a pleasant surprise!!
LPC: you know it's always great to see you!!......"pat" given, Payne says: "thank you very much!!", and no those darn goats haven't helped a bit with the weeds, other than maybe trampling a few. We are seriously considering the 'controlled burn' thing as the plants are dead for the winter and very volatile right now so it's a good time to experiment. I will keep you posted.
Anyway, it's great to meet you all and hopefully I can stick around for a while and get busy making some new friends !!
