Busy! Busy! Busy!

I have been really busy for the last 5 weeks that I have not had much time to post any thing here! We have been trying ti clean the sheep pens and get them for winter and I had a down lamb dew to worms and been nursing her back to health. I am glad to report that she is doing much better and now we have a problem with her fleece slipping off her dew the her being so sick when we brought her to the barn. So I am kind of worried to let her out with all her other little lamb friends and she will get chilled and have a relapse or something!! We have had a horrible time with the weather around our part of the country do to snow and rain it has made a real mess of the sheep pens and they were stand in the terrible muck that would not dry. So I came home from work one day and started shoveling all this smelly muck out and hauling it by wheelbarrow full to the mud hole where we dump all the little marble all our animals make. Only this was not in marble form anymore do to the rain and snow. What a mess!!! When Juan came home from work he saw what I was doing and he took over. It took us about 2 and half weeks to finish the job because of the weather. I also had about 6 months of farm book work to catch up on as well and been trying to spin and work at the gas station do the cleaning and cooking here at home and check emails for the websites and help a friend buy some Holstein bull calves as well trying to help another friend out with her mother who is recovering from surgery. Oh I also forgot to tell you that I also have been helping my Dad try to get his trailer house in order for when we get all the utilities hooked up so he can go and live in his home which is on the farm about 100 feet from the main house. So you see I have been a little busy to say the least. And on top of this I am thinking of trying some needle felting in my spare time. I found out this week that Hobby Lobby carry the needles and today we are going to Kearney to pick them up. I know I don't have a lot of followers and I am not sure why I take the time to put this out there in cyberspace except for the fact that my Mom can go on my blog and see what is going on here at the farm. I wish I can get more people to to look at my websites and start to place orders and more of a following on this blog. But I am sad to say I don't know how to do this if some one has any ideas I will be willing to listen to them. Please post here on the blog or you can email me at our website just click the button that my sister made for me on this blog.
