After they left, Grace informed me that all the sheep and the little bull were out. She was busy so I headed out there to put them back in the fence. When got out there, I noticed that they ate all the grass down in the pen and their fence needed to be moved. We have portable fencing that David moves everyday so that way the animals have fresh grass. Now, it was down pouring rain...really pouring down...hard. I decided to try moving the fence all by myself. I have never moved the fence before...ever. So I took down the first "chunk" of fencing, moved it and started putting it back up. Towards the end the fence was starting to get tangled. I was getting worried that I'd have a big mess for David when he got home. But, I kept on going and going until I got it un-tangled. In between times I had to run and herd the animals back towards me and away from the road. Finally I got the fence all put up. And then Grace came out and helped me get the sheep back in. I was sopping wet. I came in, got dry clothes on and sipped a mug of hot spiced cider. Oh... it felt soooo good (the cider:)!
Here is me when I came in...
I found out that moving the fence is ALOT harder than I thought it was!

Wow! I did something exactly like that... I was out doing chicken chore and it started to rain,( I didn't mind I actually like being out in the rain and there was no thunder or lighting.) I needed to move the fence for the chickens and they were all under the porch area so what a better time to it?!?! And this time I enjoined it. :-) After I was all do I came inside and was soaked!!! But I was worth it I got something done and got to be out in the rain. Then after I got new clothes on and sat down to finish my school work it was a good start of the day. :-) That funny how we had the same thing happen! :-)
