Do I detect a bit of raspiness in your voice? You might be coming down with something. Best to put others first and stay home so you don't potentially make them sick.
Doing so will also cut your chance of getting Covid from someone at the party.

Ironically Hubbs went to visit family 10 days ago. All were fully um, no-achoo proof. All got sick from another family member. Hubbs had no achoo proofing but stayed well and cared for the others. Happily all got better but you know my throat IS scratchy and there are actually two ewes bagging. Gonna need to stick close to home.

Good morning! It’s going to be patchy sprinkles today, hard rain 9:00 tonight, blow out by daylight. Great. I have a White Dorper due yesterday, one due tomorrow, both of Texas Five fame. I have a ewe, Frimplepants, due Sunday. Also Eve, that I gave to a neighbor, is due Sunday. Fence guys left at 8:00 last night. Front field is done. I have rye grass seed to sow today on the bulldozed bare dirt.

@Baymule can the front field be used now? Gates, etc up? 
A very chilly 22 this morn...yeah, it's winter! But
. Heavy rains coming Sunday...they say winds and 2-3" of wetness 
but mid 60s with it. 
Coming from south, so lots of us will be wet for weekend!
Well, some things need to get done, no matter what. One is hot coffee
so doing that while I muddle my next actions.

31 here this morning... Getting ready to head up to feed calves... Sun out and going to be nice... trying to figure out if I can get the cover on the frame while laying down and then raise it all together in one piece and not have to try to fight getting it over the top once it is 10 ft high...
Hoping to maybe burn the huge pile in the garden after we get the rain this weekend... burn ban has been lifted but would like the ground to be wetter.

@Mini Horses ive been out walking new fence, picking up dropped staples and clips, bits of wire, about a double hand full. To their credit, they picked up all their trash.
Due to the uneven contours, I may bring in a load of dirt and fill in low places. Bennett said to use tractor and disc to throw dirt on it, but I see too many roots and stuff.
Lots of briar roots and bulbs laying on top of dirt. I came in for breakfast , think I’ll take tractor with rake, shovel and machete and go down fence line. I’ll pick up all I can. I’ll be spraying this fence line for a loooong time!
I’m VERY HAPPY with the work they did!
A gate that is on the parameter fence (so I can mow fire lane) is way high off the ground on one end, got to block that up. I got some fine tuning to do before I put dogs and sheep in there. Hopefully I can get a lot of the briar roots in the tractor bucket and dumped on the burn pile. I’d like to sow rye grass seed this evening before the rain.
I post pictures on my fence thread tonight.

Good morning! Been a tad colder here, had some snow a couple nights ago.
Hoping to wrap Christmas presents today, would be nice to get that done with.
Been finished with school since Monday, and not running this week, so it's been a pretty chill week here. Made some double chocolate M&M cookies on Wednesday for a couple of good friends.
Thought I might be heading to my parents today but a friend talked me into staying a couple more days, probably a good thing because I still need to pack.
