Snow!


Morning chores, what a mess.

Sheep Nests & New Fence

Our sheep dig nests in the bedding pack and sleep there. No lamb eggs for Easter though.
Here is one of our ewes in her nest.


We got the last bit of the west divider fence done today. Still have to fix the top section that goes over the gated pipes but we're nearly ready to put ewes out on pasture.

Goodbye Old Truck


We sold our old 1951 Dodge truck today. At one time I had visions of restoring it but reality set in and I know I'll never have the time or skills to do so.

The new owner restores old cars as a hobby and he's promised to come back when it's all done and take us for a spin in the truck.

It was an interesting trick to get the truck up on the trailer, took all afternoon but we managed it.

It's sometimes hard to let go of potential projects. But I feel a lot better knowing the truck will be lovingly restored to working order by someone skilled in the art.
