The Promise for Tomorrow

Yesterday was a busy and very disappointing day. The shearing did not go well and it was pouring rain, with the sheep being quite wet. That made it difficult to shear easily and there were many cuts. Then after the long afternoon and simply bagging the wool with the plan to spread it to dry in various places, I made dinner for the bed and breakfast guests - a wonderful couple from Edson, about 4 hours away, though still in Alberta. After cleaning up the dishes, I finally fell into bed at 11 and set the alarm for 7 am so I could make breakfast for the guests. Then the beds were changed, bathrooms and rooms cleaned, dishes done and laundry done. Once the guests departed, it was time to do the chores, feed the animals and put the other three ram lambs that were missed with the ram lambs that were sheared. Mamma sheep was also missed so she needs to be moved, though that is not easy. 
I drove to Bonnyville to pay for hay and thanked the Creator et al that I managed to get some, because I have only one bale left and that would only last a week with all the animals. For that I am grateful. Then I went to pick up some raw bones and scraps for the dogs from the butcher. They were butchering a beef so there were three boxes of good meat and bones for the hounds. 
When I got home I had to feed the animals again because they had small rations this morning and water them too. There were 7 more eggs to collect. The fleece never got sorted to dry, but there is the promise of tomorrow. Now, to a nice warm bath. Whew!
