Last week we had a fun farm moment. A bad southerly sotrm was prediected for the next day. No problem- I would be there to take any needed action. Then the storm came a few hours early. We were awoken at 2:30 AM by the sound of a howling wind dirving rain and hail against the windows. We couldn’t just lie there and do nothing… so 10 minutes later we are out there in our rain gear, moving the girls and cria down into the shelter. Well, step one was finding the girls and cria in the middle of the night. I am glad we have at least 1 white animal! And the little grey crias’ white head could be spotted, bobbing along in the darkness. After not-too-much effort we got them down and in cover, all but Galadriel and grey boy who bolted away. But they ended up in a well sheltered place alongside the fence with the boys (who were in the next paddock), and we were content. I look forward to having a winter when we don’t have 3-month old babbies running about, so we can sleep through the nasty storms. Or maybe the storms will be nice and come during the day when I can move animals about at my convenience.

Glad we have the shed, though!
