Return to normality

This weekend things started to become a little more normal. While Saturday still being wet we ran to town and purchased a few things like a manure rake (and it does work better than a shovel), well pump, chicken wire (to cover a few holes the dogs try to get through, etc.

On Sunday, Caroline and I ignored the alpacas and related activities and concentrated on yard work like we would most normal May weekends. Spent the morning setting up mowing deck on the tractor and then three hours to do the first cut of the season. Caroline in the mean time planted the snow peas and beans (vegatable garden is now half in) and then collected the grass trimmings and layed it in between the rows as weed control. Tried to get the gas powered trimmer to work but was completely unsuccessful. Had to hand trim with the shears. Gas motors were my bain this weekend as I also could not get my chain saws to start either.
