We pushed hard and put in a long day driving on Saturday to make it to Wally and Bev’s in the wee hours of Sunday morning. The girls seemed happy to be back on the road and just as happy to get out and stretch their legs in TX on a Sunday to kick back and R&R before continuing on the road home. The hospitality and accommodations for both our goats and us were wonderful as usual. We all needed the rest and stretch and greatly appreciated it before heading out early Monday morning for our final home stretch.



We had a leisurely Sunday morning after sleeping in and enjoyed the morning rest with good company and it was obvious even the dogs had a great time enjoying the friendships.


Piglet is Trudy’s little companion and was our traveling buddy across country, she gave us all some moments to laugh about during the trip.



After lounging around and sharing National show news, Wally and Bev took us out for Sunday brunch to one of their favorite little TX diners.

When we’d finished the scrumptious brunch Wally took us for a drive to visit his neighbor who was harvesting his wheat off one of his parcels. During the drive back we came across a deer crossing the road (to get to the other side...haha) but all I was able to catch of the young buck was his tail end.





Once back again, the day was quickly coming to a close and Monday morning was coming all to soon. I took pleasure in Wally’s small cattle herd and couldn’t resist snapping a few photos of his fine-looking beef cattle.




As sunset quickly approached, we went outside to take in the last bit of the day outside together.


I had always loved our Barn Swallows in MN and when Beverly pointed out their nest on their front porch it brought back a flood of memories and my love of the little birds.




Almost home and I still never tire of the beauty of the Southwest.
