bedtime
I should be in bed. I was in bed, but then the sheep heard my wife through our open bedroom window and started bawling. We had forgotten to lock the sheep and chickens up. Now I have not had a chicken killed in several months so I might have gotten off the hook there, but I still think that the one ewe is pregnant and it is going to get cold tonight. So I had to crawl out of the warm bed and go outside and lock up the sheep. One of the babies got lost on the trip to the barn and I had to go back and find her. Of course the sheep thought I should feed them also. So they were all bawling when I left because they got no hay. I did lock the chickens up on my way back to the house. I will say this the animals force you to keep a routine. They just don't do as well if you don't stick to it, kinda like little kids in that aspect. Good Night.
