And sure you can share this blog with anyone you like. When we built the grain bin house we found tons of pics of finished grain bins but none that helped us with all the important stuff, like how to insulate it, or how to put windows in a curves wall!Donna OShaughnessyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08266654110280149719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3273144680832594458.post-10202369613890554292018-01-28T19:02:12.518-08:002018-01-28T19:02:12.518-08:00And you always make me think I want goats again, w...And you always make me think I want goats again, when we have the money for STRING and TALL fencing. :)Donna OShaughnessyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08266654110280149719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3273144680832594458.post-28734377724685515302018-01-28T19:01:16.887-08:002018-01-28T19:01:16.887-08:00I so wish I could find that video of her in her la...I so wish I could find that video of her in her lab coat.

He was quite ugly, a slow mover, but gentle and our kids, and their cousins loved him. I think he was close to 114 in pig years before he died. No I have no idea how long a pig year is, but I do know he was OLD!Donna OShaughnessyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08266654110280149719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3273144680832594458.post-64293987205568484932018-01-26T12:53:26.945-08:002018-01-26T12:53:26.945-08:00Hi Donna, frequent reader but never comment.
