Mud

Wanted to go to the handspinner's distaff day, was packed and ready to go, but listened to the weather report that called for more rain. Have been scaping boot sucking mud for the last few weeks and knew I needed to try again before it got muddier. It has been too muddy to get in there without getting the tractor stuck. So spent most of the day scraping and pushing mud, great fertilizer for the garden. Everyday brings us a little more daylight time. Today hope to get the sheep bottom pasture cross fenced and new gates hung, plan to move doe kids and some does that are not bred out of the lambing-kidding barn to the bottom. Lambs and kids will be dropping the first of March so the shepherdess needs to clean the barn and set up the nursery,get ewes shorn, vaccinate ewes and does, get lambing supplies ordered, the list goes on. It all takes a lot of time.
