Weird weather

Boy is this weird weather. First off the month of January our temperatures were well below normal. Now so far for the start of February our temperatures are above normal. It has been in the 40's for 2 - 3 days now and things are melting. It has been raining, sprinkling off and on today. It looks more like March than February right now. Except that we do have some huge patches of ice in our driveway. Right now there is too much ice on the north side of our barn to work dogs. The creek is running so I don't know if I could even get some of the sheep up to the old farm house field. :o(

I just spent the morning setting up a different area for the yearlings as they were chewing the bark off of our trees in the barn yard. I had to set up hog panels so that couldn't reach any of the trees in the old duck area. I also had to rearrange some of the stuff in our red storage building so that I could set up an area for them to get out of the elements.

I also moved the hay that was left in the one stall into other spots so that I could move the ram and his friend, Supper, a wether, into a dry stall. Then I dug up a bunch of wet sheep poop from the main walk way in the barn so that hopefully the water will drain a little better.

All in all it has been a busy morning. When Steve gets home we will still need to move the feeders for the yearlings and then I can call it a day. Well, after finishing evening chores and such.
