Seeing spots

Shearing Daisy and Edie, our sweet but very spoiled sheep, is always a challenge, to put it mildly. Daisy does okay for the first few minutes, then starts to squirm to let me know she's had enough. Edie just bawls like a baby and pees all over everything. (That's her nervous reaction to EVERYTHING.)
Every time we shear them, their wool underneath looks so different than we remembered... but I sure don't remember them having these many spots before!


I'm beginning to think Edie is part Appaloosa-




Daisy's spots are smaller- but you could still play connect the dots.

A few weeks ago I mentioned our barn was getting a much needed makeover so we could make better use of our space. This is what it used to look like-

Hubby put in lots of long hours on this trying to get it done as quickly as possible, but he also wanted to do a really neat job to make it look good, too.

I think he out-did himself on this project.....

I bring you-

the finished barn!

This is looking through the hallway from the back of the barn....

This is my new feed room...*squeal*.. everything is so neat and organized, I can't find anything anymore! LOL

And this is Daisy and Edie's new pen.

To show my appreciation for Hubby doing such a wonderful job on the barn, I cleaned up his tractor and plow for him.

Which is kind of crazy, since he's going to play in the dirt with it this weekend.....

The event Hubby looks forward to all year is coming up this Saturday in Crossville, TN- the annual antique tractor Plow day. Hubby isn't the only one looking forward to it... I love being a spectator and taking pictures of all the old tractors and the beautiful mule and horse teams as they plow up the ground. Plus, the scenery on the Cumberland Plateau is wonderful.

More bee updates coming soon- plus an update on those two broody banties who are trying to hatch out ONE EGG between the both of them.... until then, have a great weekend, everybody!!
