Winter is comming
Concrete and haircutting
During this week, we got the concrete for next years projects; a wall, surrounding all the horse - and cow shit which is produces in the stable. A fundament for a horse shed for taking care of the horses and a cellar for storing turnips.
It all went perfectly well, so now there is only to wait until the concrete is dried and hard, so we can begin with the next step.
Also, we had a visit by the sheep-haircutter. A sheep need to have their wool cut of at least twice a year, and now it was time for our sheep to get rid of their summer wool, to make room for the winterwool. It took about an hour and a half and then all the sheep was ready for the next wool to come.
Preparing for next year
We have started to prepare a bit for next year. During the last week, we have been raking leaves from the hills. This we do, so that there will be light enough for all the flowers coming next year. Also we use the leaves to cover our beds for winter, so that no weeds can take over.
This is kind of hard work and therefor a break can be required. Here Carlos and Vera are taking a nap in the leaves :)
And here Adam is joining and suddenly the nap turned in to a smaller fight :)
Otherwise, we still enjoy a fantastic weather and a wonderful autumn!! :)
