Rain,Rain Rain

Filed under: Uncategorized — Linda @ 11:51 pm

So much rain! This month we have had it all. I think there is more rain coming and then more cold. We hear on the radio there are trees down and the Rivers are on a watch. We are 700 ft elevation but we have standing water everywhere. I got drenched three times today.

I will post photos tomorrow. Joe, my number 5 child is here from Eugene with his girlfriend, Megan. Joe is putting in a new kitchen in one of our rentals. An old kitchen, you would think would come out easy. Wrong, they had nailed it, I mean nailed it as if in those days nails were free! And a lot of it was built in place, what a pain to get it all out. The oven was weird, perhaps I have a photos of it. Anyway tomorrow we will start installing the new cabinets. Exciting, gripping stuff!

I have not even been in the greenhouse today, it is still standing though. And I just got in from a long visit with the sheep. I love my sheep. They all have as different personalities as they do wool type.

Baby, our house lamb still likes to be made a fuss of. And some of the others will take a break from eating and come and visit. They really need shearing but they need to wait about another 6 weeks.

I have an idea that I want to write a book about us women who raise sheep. A story from each person. Funny or sad. Anybody interested in sending me their story?

I am off to bed, more tomorrow.

  1. Hi Linda!
    I finally got through – yeaa! – and enjoyed reading your recent posts. Where did you get the hoop house, and what are “tubes”? I love the woodstove photo – feel the warmth! Cooking over a woodstove is an adventure.
    Good luck with the Herdwicks – hope to see a lot of lamb photos in the spring.
