Sabbath day’s rest

The day started out a bit rainy this morning so we decided a fire would be a good thing.   We had breakfast and then enjoyed the fire while we rested and read.     Then the sun came out for a bit, but it was still cool.   It was a great day for resting and reading and eating.

Here the animals are all waiting for me to get down there and let them into their night abodes.   I think they knew winds and rain were just around the corner.  The chickens, ducks and geese are put in first.

Then it’s time for the sheep.   See , all but one has a fabric winter coat to keep the hay out of their coats.   I still need to order for the one missing a coat.   Because the wool continues to grow, each will need a larger coat every 3 months or so.

And last of all the alpacas are given a bit of grain in their building where they like to stay out of the rain, but with the doors open.

See how these chickens blend with the fallen maple leaves
