Fencing Time

Well I tried to get the big herd out on pasture this weekend but that didn't happen. Fingers crossed I can get the fencing done tonight. Otherwise I'm relegated to throwing hay and that makes me grumpy when we are finally into summer.


I also need to get Junior and Lace up to Madison so they can enjoy their "summer retreat" time. Junior is looking super tough. I just don't know. I really messed up with him. I can only hope that we pulls through and packs on the pounds. So stressful.


We ran to TSC last night to pick up some electric wire. We've been using the super thin wire with sort of rope stuff but Chaos knows that he can break it just by looking at it. So my hope is that I fool him into a false sense of security and when he touches the fence this time around, he'll be shocked (in more ways than one). That look of utter teenage naughtiness is not something I want to contend with this summer.


During the last blizzard back in April we had the top of a tree break off and wouldn't you know, it landed on the pasture fence. Well, I thought it was the fence but what's saving the fence from being completely torn down is that the tree landed on the gate. Which is the gate I need to get in and out to put in the temporary fencing. I struggled with it, swore at it, and even cried a little when it finally budged but all my temporary fence posts fell out of the wheelbarrow (twice).


Fingers crossed that fencing will go smoothly. Those typically aren't two words said in the same sentence. I felt so exhausted this past weekend I couldn't get much done. Lets hope the heat isn't too bad and the wind is still there to keep the mosquitoes at bay and to keep the temps down.
