Saturday. Donny and Dusty did not have to work today. Donny left early to run some errands. I let Dusty sleep in since he is not feeling well. I got the house picked up and did some of my typing. Later, I went to the barn and fed the horses. I cleaned and re-arranged the feed room so that we can put the sheep stand up and Dusty can start shearing. The sheep are too hot and we have no idea when the shearer will be here. All the animals thought it was time to eat so it was quite loud in the barnyard until they figured out that they were not going to be fed.

I dehorned 3 of the goats and gave them their vaccinations. They did their share of screaming but where fine once they were out of the box. Dusty came down and let the horses out and I made sure the geese had water in their swimming pools.

Donny came in for lunch and after that we went to the carding studio to get my mirror set up so that I can see the wool roving coming off the carder. I still have some work to do but hopefully I can get it done this next week. Dusty went to the hayfield to kick the hay again and then came home for lunch.

Donny and Dusty both left again for the hayfield. Hopefully the hay will go up today. I finished my typing and fed all the animals. Kodiak and Emma Lee enjoyed being outside again. Hopefully we can get their pen put up so they can stay out but I can still see them.
