I was lucky enough to get today off (its an overtime day as we work 4;10 hour days, but because everyone wants a snowplow this time of year, we have been working 50-60 hours for months to get them built).
So having Alyson from Thursday through Saturday, and being a single parent now, I enlist this 4 year olds help too move 2000 feet of sheep fence, move the sheep from the upper pasture to the lower pasture to begin breeding season, then went to a restaurant for lunch, clothes shopping, grocery shopping and finally a bath before bed.
Tomorrow we will pick up said 2000 feet of fence, open the upper pasture for the snowmobilers this winter, drop Alyson off at her Mom's, then pick up last years manure pile so the sheep can build another.
Then on Sunday its off to New Hampshire (168 miles one way) to spend time with a friend, and then be back home for work on Monday morning. So its a pretty slow weekend for me this week.
