It's been a crazy few days :-o. I was going to try to update everything in one post, but let's break it down a little.
The snow and ice is gone. I miss the snow, but not the ice. We had a couple of really warm days and now it's cold and windy again and now I'm missing the warm sun. I must be getting old.
The water line project is cooking along and almost finished. It's a huge mess, but it's sure going to be nice when everything is back to normal. Or the new normal since the old normal was what was making things hard ;-). I'll do a full tour when we're finished.
Speaking of tours, I am hoping it will be a clearer live tour while I'm walking around the barn now. In the past the barn has been too far away from the Wool House WiFi to keep up so I've had to just use my cell phone. I now have WiFi in the barn!
Thanks to amazing and kind tech support from some sheep friends we have a WiFi extender installed just inside the barn that is providing internet access out there and it is supporting four live barn cameras. I can check on sheep whenever I want, even in the middle of the night :-).
I'm still doing the "Amish barn checks" (what I jokingly called it when the electric went down the other day and it's sort of stuck) throughout the day and before bed, but it's fun to peek in and see them up moving around, laying down chewing cud, sleeping, or even our guarding the back of the barn.
Remember
Maggie's Solstice Story? She was out there last night and I figured out how to scroll back through the recorded "events" during the night and saw that she stayed out for a while, went back in, came back out and once when she was in, Pinto took watch.
I think this is fascinating!
