I guess that's how exciting our life is, maintaining the pasture is like the main attraction. We actually got a lot more done than mowing, we also hauled in four yards of bark mulch to take care of a few muddy areas and made a nice dry patch under the trees in the pasture for the cows to get cozy out of the weather.
I also cleared a couple of ditches to improve drainage in the small west pasture where the three cows are being kept currently. The cows were happy with the work, they frolicked around running and kicking in the fresh cut grass.
The chickens are big enough to get let out of the coop now, they can fend for themselves if one of the cats gets any ideas of a chicken nugget meal. Victoria finished up the run installing a gate and making sure there weren't any holes under the fencing we installed a few weeks ago. The chickens were happy to get out and roam the run. We'll need to get into the habit of letting them out daily now and making sure the coop is closed up at night to protect them from predators.
In other news, one of the passing log trucks must have hit a skunk this morning because the fragrance was strong in the air this morning. Skunks usually don't get frisky this time of year so not sure why they're out. We'll need to be sure the dogs don't run too far because tangling with a skunk is not fun times.
We've got a busy week ahead. Tomorrow I'll be traveling with Victoria's high school class to the Whitaker area to see spawning salmon, and then there's Thanksgiving, and then we've got a weekend of Zach performing in the Nutcracker as the Rat King. Good times.
