Those predawn...

Those predawn texts that say "I'm on my way Madre" from R. Time to start breeding regiment for her one cow. Pulled stimulation shot as she arrives. Shot given, cidr in place.
Might as well feed since sun is beginning to lighten the sky.

Frost not on the pumpkin but on everything else like the sheep bucket.


It's a balmy 29*.
S bought 20 bales of sheep hay. Might as well unload it before R leaves to shower for work from here. I'm halfway from her house to her job.


Done with a small audience.


Aww pre sunrise...
Left some jeans and shirts on the line last night. It was windy so I'll pause and unwrap and rearrange the frosty things.
Head to barn where lamb creep needs filled up. Mouse (horse) waits quietly for breakfast. 
Back to house to make sure LN is headed for on time bus departure. Listen to the sisters laugh and talk as sun starts coming in the window.

Those predawn texts though...

  1. I love early morning work. It's so quiet and peaceful out. Sounds like you started pretty early too.

    1. I'm not a natural morning person but do it quietly because I have too. Me and LN don't talk much the 1st hour or 2 we are up, R a little longer.

  2. There's nothing like being up in those pre-dawn hours to give the feeling of a new day. I like them MUCH better than late hours at night!

    1. I do agree but still protest early mornings. Hopefully cow is bred 1st time so this is repeated too many times. I do feel accomplished getting things done early.
