Sleepy Saturday.

It’s a pretty nasty day outside. Lots of rain and dark skies. I drove down to the far at the crack in order to check on the (lack of) progress. I returned in time for Luke’s first feeding. We also gave him a bath. He was pretty relaxed until the very end at which point he started crying. Perhaps he just got a little cold. Drying him off and putting him back in clothes calmed him back down.

It’s too bad about the rain because it would be nice to take him on another walk today. At least it’s supposed to be clear tomorrow. He hasn’t really been fussy yet today, but we are only just coming up on two o’clock. I had a little nap this morning but am still pretty tired. Luke and Liz are sleeping now.

The view from the back.

I did a bit of tractor work today, and went into the back field for the first time in ages. The view from the very back corner was pretty cool. It was neat to not see the road and it made the property seem huge. There is more slope back there than I realized. It will be fun once the field is mowed and also once the goat sheds and pens are built.

Extra fussy.

Luke has been a real terror these past few days and nights. Just going nuts and not sleeping at all. Only nursing seems to calm him, but he starts screaming again as soon as he is finished. He isn’t really crying in the picture below, although I took plenty of photos today when he was.

Springing hard.

Well, it seems like we are finally leaving winter behind. It was supposedly 38 degrees outside this morning, but that nonsense looks to be finished. Wednesday is supposed to deliver a high of 85. Everything is really green and lovely now. The farm is looking great. I’m sure Monteagle is beautiful too, but unfortunately I have not been able to make it up there recently. Maybe in a couple of weeks. The rain is also allegedly coming to an end for the time being. Good construction weather!
