Make hay while the sun shines

Saturday we *finally* had blue skies over Skirted Fleece, so everyone on the farm took the opportunity to do some sunny day activities.


Adam and I planted some fruit trees for the new orchard by the driveway.



Charlie and Edmund took a break from running amok.


Adam got started on the chicken's new area


while Sweet Pea napped in the sunshine:

(we've noticed something of a division of labor here on the farm during sunny days.  There seem to be a lot of humans working and animals sleeping...)

While the yaks were stuffing their faces,


Adam and I got to give a mini impromptu farm tour to a neighbor who was driving by and stopped to ask "What kind of cows are those?"  She was very nice and very excited about our farm and the animals that we have here.  Which is the best kind of neighbor to have!

The exception to the animals sleeping/ people working rule seems to have been chickens, who were very, very busy.
