So yesterday was a BEAUTIFULL day!! Absolutely and completely just beautifull. Not a cloud in the sky...and in the 50's!!
I set out in the morning to do the regular chores, feeding watering. I was side tracked quickly by the warmth of the sun. So I sat for a bit in the pasture with the sheep. Just watching them munch thier hay! The warm sun beating down on my face...I could have easily napped there. Opened all the animals barns to get a good airing out. Then I went to work on the "rescue pen" This pen is about 15 by 30, and I had chicken wire over the top. I raised turkey poults in there last year. So I took all the chicken wire off...and rolled it up, and drug the rolls to the back of the coop. I have table frames back there setting under the eaves holding spare cages, wire, and feed dishes. Trudging through 4 inches of mud, could not damper my spirits with the sunshine beating down on my back! I spent the next hour or so in one of the coops...the Banty shanty. I have 2 brooders in there, one with chicks and the other with a black silkie pair. I needed to clean them out, and switch them around. The Silkies were in the smaller one, and didn't have the head room they needed. So, moved lights, feeders, and chickens for the next hour...then started on the area for the ducks. Their new "home" will be UNDER the largest brooder. Im planning to cut a pop door in the wall to the outside and put up a small fence. They free range most of the time, but for times when we will be gone, I would like them to be contained and have a safe place to get into.
Today I will go get more Hay, and clean out the sheep barn. Another picture perfect day weather wise.
Hubby was able to get me 15 "bales" of Alfalfa hay @ $3.00 a bale! These are in plastick bags, from TSC. A friend gets his there by the ton, and save alot of money, so he let us get 15 bales from him. Its in the truck, so I will move that to the barn this morning. Oh, and I stopped at that house Thursday....creep man came out and I asked him about the greenhouse frame. Before I could even finish my sentence, he said NO, and started walking away. :/ Oh well. Guess I will just build my greenhouse out of windows like I had originally planned. No biggie, will just take longer than I wanted it too!
OK, Im headed outside...to enjoy another beautifull day, and working on cleaning up this place.
I like to "watch 'em pop" too! 
Time to get outside and get a few things cleaned up, now that most of the snow is gone, and I can see the YUK that it was covering. 
I have had my eye on a place, I see every time I go into town. They have this frame to a green house...and for the last 5 years, I have NEVER seen plastic over it. HMmmm, Im gonna stop one day amd inquire about it. Heck, they might just be glad for me to take it off thier hands! 
Hopefully they will let me have it, or at least sell it to me cheap! It looks to be about 12 x 20. Sure would be nice to have one.
