Easter. Today was pretty. It started out cool but then warmed up some. Before going to eat with family, Donny and Dusty fixed the fence so the baby goats could not go under it. Hopefully that will keep them out of mischief. After eating, Donny and Dusty went to pick up a load of hay while I took the silage home.

Dusty dug a trench across his horse barn so the heavy rains expected tomorrow will not run into the stalls. He also went around the horse lots with a magnet. These heavy rains have caused a lot of nails etc to come to the surface. I don't know what that area was before we moved here but it seemed to be a dumping ground for something.

We found one of our old ewes dead in the stall. She was over 12 years old and we were expecting this. She had twins but they are old enough to do without milk. I will keep them up in the stall just to make sure that they are getting enough to eat. I will probably bring, Coyla, Kodiak, Roxy and Patience (bottle babies) down to stay with them then I can get working on the carding studio and nursery.
