A week ago my friend Rick came out for another week of working on the ranch. The current project is to build a goat enclosure. That requires a fence, which is easier said than done. Soil is at a premium here and rocks are plentiful. We rented a jack hammer and started digging holes. After 3 days of hard work and sore muscles we got a good start on half the holes. Rick is use to building city fences where there is soil. So this has been asking people a lot of questions, observing fences along the highway, and learning a lot. Saturday he went home, but it should not be long before he returns to continue the work.
It doesn’t happen often but occasionally the temperatures drop to the freezing range. It did so today (Sunday). To make this event even rarer, it came with precipitation. Here are a few photos I took today when I got home from church.
The fence posts are the beginnings of Lawn Mower's new enclosure. She will have about 1/4 acre to roam.
Lawn Mower was probably born last March or April. So this is her first snow. I gave her some more alfalfa upon returning home from church because what I gave her this morning is covered in snow/ice.
The snow is not fazing the cats at all.
