Getting ready to hang gate! |
What a weekend! We have worked our fingers to the bone (slight exaggeration) and we are beat tonight! (no exaggeration!!!!) We're moving right along with our preparations for the boys to finally come live with us. Thankfully, we had a wonderful weekend to work outside. In fact, yesterday I was in a sleeveless shirt and sunscreen! Yes, it is January, but it's also south Texas and we just never know - winter today - summer tomorrow!
I mowed and used the weed eater all around the back yard, the barn and the new alpaca area. Yes, you got that right, weed eating and mowing! For those of you with snow and ice, that is what we have to do to not have snow and ice! :)

Gate is hung! |
Bill completed the digging of post holes and we got the remaining wooden posts in the ground and cemented in. We hung two gates and some fencing, along with completion of the stall. We also moved dirt, cleaned up all around the alpaca area filling holes and checking for noxious weeds! As I said at the beginning, what a weekend! On the bright side we ate out last night so no kitchen to clean up and we had a dinner at church tonight so once again, food without clean up!

One of the back gates - 12'. We now have 2 of seven done! |
Thursday I go up to the alpaca ranch and work with the boys on their leashes and see if they will walk with me! I will take lots of pictures and hope I come home feeling like they are ready to move down soon. Still planning on the middle of February, but that will be here before we know it. Excited but nervous!
Be back Friday with lots of pix.
