Well, I said I would try to do a blog entry, and because the weekend was so productive, it deserves one. Yesterday morning we brought the sheep up, and split the adult ewes off, and put them in with a neighbours ram "Biggles", who is a big black faced boy, so hopefully next year, they will all have twins, and grow fast...The other lambs went over to Jenny's paddock with our other lambs, hopefully they will finish off quite well, they certainly are growing well (almost ready to slaughter now). Devilspawn and Winston have been put in a small paddock together, we're hoping Winston does his "thing" before we get him turned into sauages. Before we did all that, Steph worked Markissa and has a small ride bare-back, and I chainsawed up a big pile of timber that has been waiting for chainsawing for 2 years!, now we have even more lawn to mow.
Speaking of mowing that lawn, Steph started mowing it yesterday but the lawn mower fell apart (the gas tank fell off!), so this morning since the tractor had the mower on, I cut our back lawn with the tractor, 3 passes and it was basically done!
Yesterday after all the stock were moved out of the paddocks, I went over them with the mower, and they now look really good, the grass should come away quite well.
In addition to all that we even moved the big tank off it's stand and onto a dolly so we could redo the stand.
Then today with the tank away from the wall we decided that we should decorate, we went into town, got some test pots (for the stand and the wall), and then proceeded to strip the wallpaper off, we got one wall done!
Also this weekend, I made rubharb chutney (very very yummy), Steph was two lots of devilspawn wool, I've carded four batts of devilspawn (so now just waiting for Steph to make something with it).
I think that's about all this weekend, plenty in my opinion...
Till later.
