A little work and a little play

We started the day with a work around the farm day. 

The ladies cut up the soap that they made a few days ago, and set them out to dry 

Charlie and Marat worked on refinishing an old table 

as well as making a new lid and restoring an old hope chest 

Julie was out in the garden cleaning some garbage that got mixed in with the manure pile

The little calves are loving their new pen 

All the bigger cows have nice new wooden floor to keep them warm this winter 

The team spend a few hours working in the green house breaking up the big chunks of soil and getting ready to plant. 

The butcher visited the barn today, and we now have one of the beef cows hanging in the garage to be cut up tomorrow 

Then after lunch we were off to the mountains with all the kids from the farm to do a little fishing as well as a trip to the hot springs.  It was a beautiful clear fall day here so it was a great time. 

 

 I love the way Polly is able to pose with the fish but not actually touch it .. Thank you Misha for the use of your hand .. 

Myrlan was the first in the pool up at the hot springs .. A great end to a wonderful day.
