Today was work. We ran out of wood on the porch so I had to shovel off the avalanche on the front steps to be able to get the wood up. Then I had to get the sled down from the rafter in the garage (tell me what is the sled doing up in the rafters). Actually, I think it was John's way of telling the snow to go away. Before all of this, I tromped through deep snow to check the propane level and then called to get them to bring us more. They actually came out a few hours later. Must have been someone out our way that was in real need. So I talked to the Propane guy about keeping animals fed (he has 70 head of cattle and some will be calving in a few days.)
A friend of ours says, "it take a half day to do anything". Today I really felt this. Lots of trudging through snow lugging water, feeding hay, and more I have forgotten.
But that is just today-- tomorrow Ben, who turned 4 today, is coming over. He can help me feed the flock and maybe we will go sledding. It is suppose to snow tomorrow but just 3"-6" or maybe 10". Really - I am not kidding.
Beau and the girls were silly in the snow yesterday. Chasing each other and doing their bounce thing where they spring off of all 4 feet at the same time. Also doing their play head butting. I guess they felt they had to do something to break the boredom. I built them the snow sheep but couldn't get inspired to make a snow llama. Maybe Ben will help me tomorrow. I wanted to get the other sheep in the picture too but they have not yet noticed the new sheep or at least not to my knowledge. Maybe tomorrow.
I am very impressed. A sculptor too! What is her name?
ReplyDeleteMe too, equally impressed. Can't wait to see the llama
ReplyDeleteI can't believe all the snow you are getting. Will it never end? We are getting our first really big storm and I have to go to work. At least I get to ride in a warm train and work in a warm hospital. I want to see a picture of the sheep bouncing.
ReplyDeleteI am doing the haul wood thing too. It seems to never end, even in warm weather we cut and stack.
ReplyDeleteHave fun sledding!
I had trouble seeing your snow sheep. Now I see it. Very cute. If you do the llama you will have to dye it brown.
ReplyDeleteIf you are waiting for the sheep to take notice of a snow sheep you might want to get a nice long book out to help bide your time, maybe Les Miserable. But speaking of sheep falling for a fake sheep that reminds me of something that use to happen to Tweedle D.,my so called brilliant Austrailan sheep/ border collie dog. A few years back when he was the vice president of security of Custom Lawn & Hedges and a regular traveler in my truck, he use to bark at the same fake dog (life size board/ placard of a black lab.)day after day as we passed it on the way to work. Finally after about a week he would just look at it, want to bark but I guess figured something was off. So I guess maybe there is hope for the girls. Bill
