Happy First Monday of 2020

A quiet weekend at the Sanctuary. It was a weekend of putting in hay. We put hay in Saturday for the mares and Diavlo and Sunday we put hay in to the big herd. We could have waited to put hay in to the big herd until today but with extra curriculars going on tonight, we opted to do it Sunday so that I can do chores in the daylight. I hate doing chores in the dark. I'm counting down until I can return to doing chores in the daylight again!


I'm still trying to get motivated after Christmas break and to figure out what needs to be tackled first. When time permits, I'm slowly putting the purlins back on the run in shed where the tornado ripped the roof off of it. It's been too many years waiting for help so now I'm tackling it on my own but only when there's free time (which isn't a lot). We'll see how long it takes now that I'm slowly redoing the roof.


There's nothing new going on. Now that Christmas has passed, we are hunkering down and dealing with winter. I'm ok with the snow so that it helps keep the pasture covered. I need to start planning  on how to manage the pasture this coming year to make sure that we dont' over graze. I think the way we've been doing it just isn't working any more. Time to learn a new way.


It's hard to believe that it's the first Monday of the new year already! So many opportunities to do great things this year! We hope you come along for the ride!


Happy First Monday of the 2020!
