It’s been one thing after another and you know I don’t dare ask what’s next because as we all know there is a next. Yesterday was a fix it day, but now yesterday is a didn’t get it fixed day. Well let me back up. Didn’t get everything fixed day. But the most important item on the list was the water well and that dear friend is fixed! Thanks to Linda and Ed. It took most of the day but we have water! But yesterday being it was a Sunday and the closest hardware store closed, if we needed anything were talking a three hour tour. Yes a three hour tour! (Actually just two) But, sit right back and yu’ll hear a tail, a tail of a fix it day, that started with broken pipe and a sheep that ran away. A sheeeeeep that ran awayyyyyy. (you’re singing along aren’t you?). The mate was a mighty Nubian, the skipper brave and sure………..The woolies ate the chicken scratch and we pulled out our hair! OK I know that didn’t fit in but it was true, really!
I let the new Katahdens out of the isolation pen last night and they flocked right away (unlike the woolies) Received 4 more ewes two with lambs hanging off their utters. So that reaches my quota of 20 ewes. Well actually I’ve surpassed that number and have 26 ewes, three lamb ewes, 1 Dorper Ram, 8 woolies and 1 wither (spot, who is just like one of the girls). I stop now. Really!
I’m back in Oklahoma city this week catering my little heart out.(to pay for my sheep habit) I’ll have Thursday off, maybe to work on fences and get ready for my trip to Seattle. Trying not to feel overwhelmed.

What was really great about yesterday though was breakfast! Eggs Benedict of sorts with seared eggplant, a bunch of our fresh picked greens, a poached egg topped with homemade hollandaise. We fried us up some nice taters to go with it and I’m telling you that is the way to start off the day for sure! 
WOW!
ReplyDeleteYes I was singing along
and is that a "to do" list I see there next to breakfast???
Have a good one!
It's a shopping list, Melissa, for the hardware store...a loonnggg list to make sure we had everything we might possibly need to fix the well, including any things that might break in the process of trying to fix that which was broken already. Since it was a three-hour tour to the store and we were determined to have hot showers by nightfall!
ReplyDeleteMan, I am so glad you have water! For future reference, there's a really good hardware in Chandler downtown that is actually open on Sundays from 1 - 6pm. It might cut your 3 hour tour in half! Try to stay warm the next couple of days, then it looks like we're in for some nicer weather :)
ReplyDeleteNanc, thanks. great to know!
ReplyDeleteMelissa, I cracked up when i took a closer look at the photo. But in spite of it all eating well topped the list :)
