29 April 09
Well....Its been a long day. Got up to cool weather, cloudy...yuk. So, I decided I was going to clean house to help pass the time. Ya see, today is the day to get my sheep!! So, vaccume the house, dust everythbing...do chicken/duck/turkey chores...make spaghetti and meatballs for DH's dinner, and get him all packed up for work. My son text me saying that the company that is doing Burger King flower beds, neds a place to dump the old mulch, TODAY! OK, so nowI have to waite for them to get here. I was planning to leave at 2pm, to go get my sheep. So, 1:45 I get the call....they are out front! Woohoo!! Get them directed to where I want them to unload it...and stand by to watch. ( I make a great supervisor!) LOL
FINALLY they get finished...and I can go get my girls. WOOHOO!! Its a 45 minute drive...one way..to get them. Load the carrier...and the chicken cage, she also has some cochins she doesnt want, they are a few months old. I fixed up a large pottery mixing bowl with a quart of peaches, and 6 pints of jellies and jams as a gift for Jennifer.( the lady with the sheep) Make the drive.....we talked for a bit, looked at all her new work she has done. She has a BEAUTIFULL place..I mean, just beautifull. Her kids get home from school....highschool...and its time to gather the 2 girls. I would like to introduce you to April...
And Nelly....
After I set them in the pasture...they were so fun to watch...graze...RUN to a new spot...graze...RUN to a new spot..then to the barn to check it out. I was able to get them to eat from my hand already. They are Sooo sweet!! I had to go get the new chickens settled, then went back to watch them some more...and they ran up to me! Yup, IM HOOKED!!!!
