Woodford County Canine Olympics

We went to the Canine Olympics on Sunday. Poppy and Cassie went with us but they didn't do any sports.

Cassie found her first woolly worm.

Clark County Broke the Internet

We lost phone and Internet yesterday afternoon. Lisa saw the county workmen down there on her way home. When she came in I was on the phone with AT&T. They still haven't arrived to fix it. I went down to the work site and found the broken wire pretty quick. They had the line located but missed our trunk line. The loader operator didn't miss our trunk line.
 

You can see the broken wire in the bank.

They were cleaning up the gravel that runs off of Scarborough's driveway. They over did it and decided to get fancy. 

The junction box is down there by the garbage can.

The line comes down our side of the road and then up through the pastures.

The line locate on the wrong side.

Sunset Over the Pond

The ewes are back in the front pasture. Lisa got them moved today. They seem to like the Johnson grass that has come up  in there. 

Cassie was playing with a spider. She learned how to play with thing from Betty. 

Warm night. Winter is coming.

Wood Chunk Cage

The last batch of firewood I picked up over at "the source" had a lot of smaller log slices. They were short after being split and didn't fit in the firewood racks. I put together this cage to hold them. I got the idea from Lisa's rock cage from the pod back in 2008.

It will burn just fine.

The Pod from 2008. Lisa packed all our decorative rock collection in the cage.

The Pod driver did comment on how heavy our unit was. 

Cassie! Stop chewing on the bark.

What bark? I'm not chewing on bark.

Ruffles (a.k.a. Rustles) 

Pond dinosaur.

Sheep Chair

I found a place to store the sheep chair. It comes apart but doesn't go back together easily. It should be okay in front of the window. 

I usually wear the Kalashnikov 74 but have been carrying the Magnum for the last few days. The Mag is really lightweight but I'm used to the tip down carry of the Kalashnikov. 

The sheep chair is to restrain the sheep so you can work on them. 

The Böker Magnum

The Böker Kalashnicov 74 in high visibility orange. The orange is good in case I drop it in the grass. I have a black one to carry in the winter. I like Böker Autos.

It was a nice warm October day today. There may not be many more warm days this year. 

Luna was saying hi to Kathy.

New Tires

We got new tires on the tractor this year. We got them from Bob Sumerel Tire in Winchester. A separate contractor brought them out and installed them.

Today I mowed the ram pastures and the AC got a clogged drain. Fayette Heating and Air came out to fix it.

Dog Bath

Tinks and Paris got their baths today. They were getting grubby. It's good to get them washed before winter hits. It's been so hot the last few days we're starting to wonder if we'll have a winter this year. If not, the firewood will keep.

Poppy was waiting for me to throw the ball with the chucker.

A butterfly landed on the porch railing.

She doesn't look amused but she behaves.

Sheep Move

Lisa moved the ewes to the open pasture.  They saw us out there and it was like they knew what we were talking about. They were waiting at the gate to go through. 

Ruffles looked like she was missing her mom.
