There's a trick to getting the tarp in the ground just so a minimal amount of water gets through. We're all about not letting the water through, you see, because here in Wyoming there's a saying; "Whiskey's for drinking, water's for fighting." We haven't had much rain lately, and so we're just bracing ourselves for drought conditions. But for now, I walk around two of the fields every morning and evening and splash through the flooded areas making sure the water is doing it's job, then move tarps and pack, dig and move dirt/mud around making it satisfactory. It's quite nice to play in the water at the end of the day!
In other big news; KITTENS!
Twelve of them, to be precise (from 3 mothers). One group in the hay loft of the barn, one in the slats of the barn shed and another in the pile of wood in the apple orchard. If anyone wants a cat (they'll do fine as outdoor cats!) let us know! There are Manx, half tail and full tail kittens. They're SO cute. I can hold them in one hand, and they make the smallest little mews!
