Springtime at Shefaro

to Shefaro, Texas, in the Spring.

Please enjoy the view from outside my front gate when I come home.

A view from my porch finds Shefaro goats and sheep grazing in the field of coastal which I sprigged by hand many years ago.  A lot of work pays off in a lush, green field.    This acreage is also the Borzoi field when the goats are put up.  Between Shefaro Park (my wooded acreage) and this field, the dogs and goats have five fenced acres.

Enjoy a view from my porch.
