We got up REALLY early, got ready, and drove out to the farm this morning. As soon as we got there, by 7:10 a.m., we were already calling, "Turtle! Turtle!" But we decided to check the barn, just in case she had already come back by herself. The back pasture has a fence she can climb through, and it opens into the stall of Prissy, Magic, and Peaceful. Sure enough, she was asleep in that stall with them!! We were so relieved!
We called Susan right away, and woke her up. She hadn't slept well at all, so she got dressed and came right over. The relief in her voice just on the phone was enough to make us happy we'd gotten up so early. Never stand between a maternal woman and a baby...of any species.
So....that saga is finally over. And while the hours may have been just a few, it seemed a really long time.
We spent the rest of the morning cleaning out the yard around the chicken coop. The animals were all in there, and we even opened the gate from the sheep pasture and let the sheep in with the goats. The only ones who weren't in were the alpacas. We don't seem to have as much time for them as we used to. I wonder why?
The trampoline out Jacob's back kitchen door is now covered with all the trash we picked up. Rolled up hose, electrical wire, candlesticks, flowerpots, broken glass (!), boards that had been grown over, and lots of trash. We need to take out a large, heavy-duty trash bag to put most of it into.
We came home and got here about the same time we've been getting to the farm on most mornings. A good morning's work, and now we have the day to weave and garden.
