life in a day of me

Today I woke up, showered, and got breakfast at 0830. Breakfast we all (other suckers working for free) meet in the kitchen of the b and b. Normally ill grab a hot tea, some toast, and a bowl of "bran flakes". We hung around the kitchen till 0930, when we head to the horse stables. Just a simple task of feeding the pigs behind the stable. Pigs will jump you when it comes to food. So I walk along side the fence with the feed bucket, jump it, and throw the food in the trough and jump out. One stable to clean out for the expecting-any-day-now mare, daisy. Scooping horse shit is a lot like raking a zen garden. After the stable we walk across property to the bigger of a dozen gardens. This one held beets (that we ate with dinner last night) but today were turning over. Just digging up the old soil, and prepping it for planting. Did that till lunch at 1300. Lunch was more hot tea with milk, salad (grown on site) with vinegar dressing and kidney beans with (grown on site)with jacket potatoes. After lunch it was good old fashioned, sheep herding. We had to sort some out for sale. Moved the sheep about a mile from the back paddock to the front. A lady came and bought six ewes with five lambs afoot. Then it was just feeding the bungalow paddock with 20 ewes, and checked on our two sick ewes and called it a day. Just a quick five minute walk through the ram paddock and im home for the night. A few hours hanging out here and it'll be dinner time. Tomorrow well start my days off and ill have a lot more interesting stories to tell.
