Thanks everyone for entering the give away!!!!

Last nice day for a while yesterday. Nice and warm. When I got to the farm, did the usual walk with the dogs, and then worked Dan on the lambs. They are moving away from the side I send him, so that does not help with his over running on the away ;) The only way to solve this is to just do outruns with someone holding sheep, and manage him until he pays attention. Perhaps have the hold out person move them toward the right as he comes in, something like that.......

We did enough work, that he actually jumped in the water tub... See, it was nice out! After I worked him I put some of the wasted hay into piles to deal with- I want to see what they are/are not eating from this new delivery- I am not that happy with it, but I have decreased grain enough that in a couple days it will just be hay, and then I will truly see how they are doing with it.

Got a bit more cleaning done in the big room in the barn, but still have more to go, and I have to get the extension cords to for the heat tape and the de-icer. Supposed to start getting really cold this weekend. I hate working in freezing weather. So, will get this stuff done tonight.

When I got home last night, I cleaned the gutters. They were filled with those helicopter seed pods- billions of them. I have never seen so many. After that, I had to take my nephew to the orthodontist and we got to see lots of really nice Christmas lights. I would like to thank everyone who does that, puts a smile on my face.

Well, that's it for now...
