The flock and the hangar

We call our flock enclosure"the hangar."
I built that encosure with 90% what I found lying around,  and then whatever inexpensive additional bits I needed to make it sealed and secure... More or less.
Our first animal was a 2 month old nubian goat buck.  We almost named him Max. He cried all the way home "maaaaaa." But for some reason I named him Spitfire.
Zeru and I were discussing that plane in lessons recently which is probably how it came to mind.
It was at that moment I planned to name all of our flock after planes.
Next morning we picked up a doeling boer goat,  3 months old. We named her Piper Cub. The third animal was a 4 month old ewe Finn sheep B-24 Liberator(Libby for short).
We had these three about a month before getting any more.
I have the privilege to watch single engine prop plans fly over most mornings I let them out to graze.  There is an airport near by with many unique planes that must land there.
A week ago I saw 5 World War single engine fighter planes flying in formation right over my garden as I harvested crops!
Zeru and I have seen a 4 engine prop and several double engine prop  planes,  as well as bi planes.
I feel like God had blessed me with these things in my time of growing and waiting.
