Dog Gone Days

It's hard to do laundry when you have a helper like this....

Silly dog. 
Fresh out of the dryer, nice and warm.
I am getting eggs again.  Yesterday I got 8 and today I got 14!!  I was even able to sell 4 dozen to the store. 
It has been a hard cold winter for the girls but they are finally thawing out and producing again.  My best layers seem to be the White Leghorns.  Not a fancy bird but a productive one. 
It was a long day at the barn today.  It started around 9:30 when my granddaughter and I went down to feed.  Then we cleaned the stalls.  Just as we were finishing up my husband came and we started working on the stall for the goats.  It needed a door.  Then we built an "igloo" out of hay so they could stay snugly warm at night.   I can't wait to get them out of my basement and down to the barn.  They will be happier too, more room for jumping and running.  LOL  Oh my goodness they are so cute.
Finally, up to the house to sit.  Then I look at the time, it was 4 PM, time to feed.  Ugh, wish I had known how late it was before I left the barn.  Back to the barn I went to feed.

Of course while we were at the barn all day, we had to get kisses! 

Because we finished up so late in the afternoon, we decided to wait till morning to bring the babies and Momma to the barn.  Figured we'd wait in case it cooled down too much on their first night.  Nope, as I'm typing this up at midnight, it is still 40*.  In the morning....down they go!  😉🐐
