Exciting 2nd day of 2011

Today we had no water. Thought it was the well being frozen. So we waited and it came on. Then we discovered that the tops of the irrigation came off in the big garden. Hank will get to it sometime this week. Later the younger ewe had 2 ram lambs. Put them in the milk room til tomorrow.

Boring New Years

Today we spent inside for the most part. I did manage to feed early and defrost frozen water buckets for the animals. It never did warm up much except for around 2 pm. We are wanting some warmer weather for the start of the new week but should be only 14 tonight and around 45 tomorrow so it will have to wait til later around Thursday when we get rain. We are starting the new year off with no eggs; bummer. The pups are growing and will be a month old tomorrow. We need to take some updated photos.

New Years Eve

We are staying in as usual. It was very cold today. Buckets and hoses frozen. We even broke a pipe. It is going to be 13 tonight. The dogs are staying inside last night and tonight. There were even a few snow flakes mid day. The trash man didn't show up yesterday or today. Thinking of canceling them or putting trash out front as it is such a hastle with the dogs being put up, etc. Hope to have a good new years; this one is almost history.

Rain

We are having some rain this evening; sure do need it. Supposed to be snow tomorrow night. Sarah and Rob came by; also her sis and boyfriend. They got to see the pups; no touch though. Pretty boring day except for the weather; should be exciting this week!

Mexico

We went to Mexico today to get Hank's diabetes medicine. Too bad our government can't provide this for seniors. Too expensive to buy them here. The Mexican people are so friendly and polite; some even speak English quite well. Came home and finished making the pup box bigger. Beautiful day; the calm before the storm!

Camera

Hank ordered a Kodak Z981 camera today. Should take 2 weeks to arrive. It is coolish and cloudy today. We are expecting a big, big (did I say big) storm tomorrow or Wednesday? We'll see if it gets to us.

New Puppy Box

Today we made a new puppy box. It is quite a bit smaller but higher so they don't get out. Had a nice dinner of flounder. John called later in the day. Nice beautiful coolish Christmas but very quiet.
