Good morning all. Halfway through the morning yesterday I had a change of plans, thanks to the arrival of these.

I had been half expecting it, the ewes have been delayed going off for lambing because of the lack of grass at their holiday destination. Transport had to be hastily rearranged and the afternoon was spent seeing them off. The sheep weren't too happy at being rounded up and then having to stand in mud, but at least now they will have a roof over their heads at night and will be able to stay in a warm pen for a day or so after giving birth.

One other ewe couldn't wait either and gave birth to triplets. She was happy with the first two, but her third wasn't wanted. The little fellow struggled to keep up, crows would almost certainly have got him if I hadn't been there.

Great trip report RNG :thumbsup:

14 going to a high of 27. Mostly sunny. Wind NW 7 mph.

I will scrape the half melted and refroze driveway today. Maybe I can get it down to the gravel. I will also try to move the piles of snow.

I've got a dump run to do in the afternoon and a post office trip as well. My new suicide knob should be in as well as the new fuel pump for the HHO tank.

That is it for today, stay safe all

Had an after work bowling / food and drinks session. 1st time ive bowled in yrs. I am sore already.
Threw a strike the first time, never got another. Bowling balls sure have gotten heavier.

BEF, at least you managed the real thing.
Our grandson got the Nintendo Wii out a few weeks back for us all to play bowls. Even a lightweight plastic game controller got my shoulder aching. :laughing:

61 going to 63 and likely rain. Hit 82 yesterday, a record. We've had record lows and highs this year. Some of the maples have already busted open their flowers.

Eric, congrats on your new "grandchildren lambs" and I see that hedge has been worked quite well.

RNG, I pulled my atlas out and had great fun following your well documented trip through NV and CA...quite a long one through what must be some spectacular areas.

BEF, I'm impressed you are well enough to have bowled. I noticed no score was posted :).

Put up two new blue bird houses yesterday, and cleaned out and repaired 4 others, including one that I didn't think they had used. I have one more to put up, but debating 2 choices of locations. Now if only the black snakes will leave their eggs alone once they nest. Also put up our first wren house, inside the barn, where they have built nests in the past in the kayak, under the tractor seat, under the riding mower hood, and in a tarp. Chances are they will laugh at the new birdhouse, and go pick another odd location.

Haircut today.

Got my first tick of the season hiking in the woods or while digging some sand out from around my little bridge.

Fantastic pictures Ron. 13years and I bet you still didn't see / explore everything. The geological formations are very dramatic, varying in as close as 20-30 miles. Trip hopefully this August to Moab. Really want to go to Yellowstone, but Jay made me think about the caldera....my luck and it will blow while we're there..

Visiting Moab is OK in Spring and Fall. Only warning is stay away from Jeep Week. Which happens around Easter each year. If you do not have a Jeep lots of tours or rent one for a week or few days.

Here is a link to a Blog that I did for a few years. Lots of good memories.

29F now mid 30's for high clouds and sun.

Last 3 days of above normal temps help lowing snow levels even muddy up driveway here and there.
Thought for sure sap would start to flow but only trickle so far.

Enjoy the day all.

Good morning all, 55 now going to 58 and 90% chance of rain. Saw a skunk out in the yard this morning looking for grubs or whatever. First one I have seen here though I have smelled it many times. Keep hoping to get my carving knife sharpened but haven't gotten to it yet.

RNG glad you are home safe and had a good trip.

Randy, prayers for you arm, and you.

RIP, prayers for you and your wife.

Have a great day. Ed

Need to pour second cup of coffee. 28° with mostly cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 40° with some sun. Everything looks kind of gloomy outside. Rain and warm temperatures did not completely melt all the snow. Those left over piles are a mix of dirt and other debris. Want to get out and cleanup this mess. But my back says no. Got PT analysis yesterday. Today is first PT visit. Then 3 days a week for next month. Need to put a note in my calendar to come up with a way to exercise more. Maybe drive over to Mall and walk around a few times each week when it's to cold outside to do it.

RNG, great trip report.

Randy, take care of the arm.

Eric, are you going to hand feed the orphan.

Buckeye, last bowling outing wife and I did ended in a similar conditions for both of us. Have not played again. We do get the Wii out at times. I just do not understand how the wife beats me at it.

Prayers for those in need.

Good Morning All.
