Yesterday was a work day...
hard, heavy work.
And it was the perfect day to do so...
cloudy, foggy, damp... not terribly cold and finally not raining.
Amanda was home for the weekend as her hubby was out of town...
my hubby was out of town as well.
And when the "cats" are away,
we country mice sure know how to play!
We seized the day by doing a major housecleaning of the sheep yard.
You see, our sweet, innocent sheep have this nasty habit of
pooping wherever they sleep.
And in the wintertime when the weather is harsh,
they sleep inside their houses.
So, by mid-winter the houses become quite smelly.
It took us a good two hours,
but we stripped out those houses and filled them with clean bedding.
We raked up the accumulated hay waste under the hay feeder...
and swept up all of the little piles of sheep-berries.
The sheep, of course, were curious...
As were the pigs...
Sammy took the opportunity to grab a nap...
outside the fence, away from sheep who might protest.
As for us country mice...
by the end of the day we could barely move!
This was quite a strenuous job...
removing four gator-loads of soggy wet hay (and poop) from the yard and houses.
But, like I said before...
we sure know how to have a fun day!
