cleaning sheep houses

Big projects last weekend, with big boy toys—a Kubota backhoe from Home Depot. That sucker was put to work, sun-up to sun-down, so much that the rental guy couldn't believe the hours that were put on it during a single day.

Big surprise, the two boys leaning on their shovels (or in this case, pitchforks) again. Though for the majority of the time they were super helpful,especially given the smelliness of the situation

Shed all cleaned out and freshly strawed, though the line at the back shows how overdue we were. Now it is even more obvious how much it needs a fresh coat of paint.

Despite all our hard work, the grass is fresh and deep and green away from the shed, and never mind the rain. They'll stay right out here, thankyouverymuch.
