Our sheep decided to join us upslope yesterday. Rather than herd them back downslope, Phil just took a length of the electric net and contained them right by the house. So looking out the window, I can watch them eat down the weeds (and occasionally leaves on the trees, but not too often).
With almost an inch and a half in the rain gauge when we woke on Sunday morning, we were thrilled to have another almost two inches this morning. The rain gauge was so beautifully full: it's like waking to riches, after hearing the patter on the roof through the night. It still amazes us.
The land was quite wet, and since most of Phil's projects require the tractor, he spent an indoor day. We are thankful when he has engineering work, me perhaps more so than Phil: he just really, really likes being a farmer.
