@Ridgetop and her husband spent the night last night. They left this morning to go to Cleveland to pick up their tractor. It’s finally ready! We went out to eat and had a good visit. I took them to Crockett to a real good Mexican restaurant. Their menu is 4 pages, front and back.

When we turned down my road, at the first creek crossing, there’s a small beaver dam. We got out to look at it. Probably not a lot of beavers in Southern California. LOL Plus there’s lots of wisteria that’s gone wild, covering tall pines, festooned in purple blooms.

After they left this morning, I moved the cow panel hay contraption in the front field. I sectioned off part of the lot, to wean ewe lambs in. I put the hay contraption up so both sides can access it.

Ewes found it, where’s the hay?

Ewes trying it out. I set a new bale of hay.

Then I set a new bale in the middle field. The weaned ram lambs on one side, ewes on the other and Cooper on the back side.

Taking an iced tea break, then it’ll be time to feed dogs, chores.

Annnnddddddd……… the confounded nasty GNATS are back! Lucky me, I have two kinds, teeny tiny ones the size of a flea. Those fly around in clouds of the darn things. Then there is the big gnats between the flea size and deer fly size. Both bite. Annoying, I inevitably swallow some. So this means I wear a long sleeved shirt and a mosquito net over my head. I hate those nasty biting things.

I’m so excited. Peggy called a couple of days ago, asking if I had any extra wire, they would but it. I busted out laughing and reminded her of the cattle chute where they used to have roping’s. It’s long, narrow and filled with blackberry canes that have gotten over 8 feet tall. Wicked stuff. I need it gone, I want to put my 40’ shipping containers there. They came over yesterday morning and Bennett said he’d take it down, he’d take one side of the wire, it’s 2”x4” non climb horse wire, expensive stuff, and he’d roll up the other side for me. Plus I get all those wood posts. And his cousin is going to tear down the old round pen and all those terrible chicken pens, for the materials. I’m delighted to give it to them. I think I’ll post it with pictures, in my fence thread. This is gonna be epic!
