We got up before dawn today, 100 things to do. First, manure removal from the pasture, Maria has set new trains for farm chore fashion design – the artistic way. There was mowing, moving chairs around, getting water out to the side pasture, getting the barn ready for shearing and hoof trimming, rushing into town for food for helpers, moving the cars, getting out the signs and chalkboard – and about 100 other things. People still aren’t due for an hour, there is still an hour’s worth of work to do.
