One added. One leaves. Another added. How many volunteers were we at? Ed joined the team yesterday and just as evening chores seemed to be routine, ‘things are pretty low key and casual around here, Ed,” Greg gets an emergency call from Maureen who was up at the house and tears off up the hill on the quad. Bewildered volunteers continue with evening chores, fearing the worst. Greg finally returns with a story of the oven’s element catching itself on fire. Which, for those who know, is NOT an easy type of fire to put out. Baking soda? Nope. Water? In small doses, it finally cooled and smothered the fire enough and everything was fine. Maureen handled the whole situation quite calmly. Ed was reassured this was not a typical night.
Greg nearly got the tractor stuck in the mud. Made for some fun moments while he worked it out. Good job, Greg!
Misty, the newest calf, got to spend some time with the other cows for the evening. There was lots of sniffing with noses and even some romping around. Misty was mostly curious with what she could eat. Sampson especially took liking to Misty. She got to go out with the herd this morning. Looking out at the cows at lunchtime, she was well settled in with everyone.
I continued to mortar and brick inside the whole I dug last summer. In the afternoon, the sun hits that side of the barn super good, so I moved the tractor to give me some shade.
Ed fit right in, Greg taking him around in the morning for letting sheep and cows out, milking the goat and cleaning stalls.
Lady’s old stall is now absent part of its wall and very clean inside. Ed got to use the pressure washer!
Rides were had. Greg walked down with Ed on Lady, fun! I took Charm on some trail blazing.
Another WWOOFer adds the ranks tonight! Welcome Sarra.
