Sunday and Monday

Sunday went smoothly considering Ann and Bob were gone. In the morning I set up fences in a new pasture for the ewes and Bob took me up to where the lambs are and told me how things should be done up there because I had no idea... After I hurt my foot I didn't do too much that day or the following one.

In the afternoon we went and weeded garlic and cut scapes. When milking time came around I went down and got the sheep (which was bad for my ankle... but I'm alright now) and then I did the chores. I also had to take the cheese out of the brine which I had never done before but is very simple.

After I had set up the pastures for the sheep, I went back by myself and weeded more garlic. I have learned that you really should keep up on the weeding of gardens and don't let the weeds run rampant. Lol Came back and finished up chores and came in for the night.

Bob got back so late on Sunday night that he told me he wouldn't be out Monday morning to do set up... So I had to wake up at 4:15 and be in the barn by 4:45 to do set up and get the sheep on my own with nobody else around. I didn't see anybody else until 6:45 which was when I was finishing up. After I got done cleaning up after milking, Bob had me go in the house and start preparing for the farmhouse dinner which is on Sunday. Worked until 8:45 and then got to leave.

Yesterday was my half day off and today is my full day off. Mark comes on Thursday evening for the weekend which often makes my work much more enjoyable because he helps with things too. Bob and Ann love having him around which is good because they don't mind that he stays here sometimes.

Anyway, I think I make cheese tomorrow again. Woo hoo? =)
