Ohhh another BEAUTIFUL day !!!

And with the warmer weather we can use the hoses again !!! So wonderful not to have to carry 5 gallon bucket of water, sloshing down our legs and into our boots !!!

Listenin to da hoomans … blah blah blah

yeah yeah yeah

Smoky Joe’s feathers rustling in the light breeze

So many dishes to wash …. every day …. twice a day
Mount Dishmore !!

We drag a can around the big fields and fill it with poop.
Yep, all the poop has to be cleaned up.
Load it in the tractor and haul it to the compost pile.
Everything but the cat and dog poo, which has to be bagged and hauled to the dump!
Herbivore poo is fine to compost. Not so with carnivores ! Too much risk of disease to the wildlife.
Cleaning poo is one of the jobs less savory in warm weather than when it’s freezing !!!

The sundeck is a favored place today !!
