09/10/2003 Archived Entry: "Winding Wire"

The weather is getting warmer again, as we knew it would. Rain seems to be heading this way. I'm hearing thunder so this might be short. Keep your fingers crossed, we can use the rain.

I spent most of today out in the pasture winding wire, a job I really, really hate. But it has to be done, otherwise, I'll have old rusting wire scattered all over the property and you can guess what that means to digitigrade, plantigrade or unguligrade feet. (digitigrade-walks on toes (paws), like a dog or cat, plantigrade-walks on sole of foot (flat-footed) like a human or an alligator, unguligrade-walks on an ungula (a hoof) like a horse or cow) That about covers every creature on the place here, except the house fish, I reckon.

Now I have 12 neat coils of wire of varying sizes. I can reuse the wire, but mostly it won't be under foot in the pastures and pens. That's enough about wire.

Our wandering blogger, although enduring snow and cold rain in the mountains to the west, did manage to locate a computer. (We knew she would, didn't we?) Stay warm, Peg. We don't want ya blogging with a cold when you return.

One more word before I close. I wanted to say thanks to Nick Slechta for serving as the Temporary Executive Director for the Chamber of Commerce. Glad to have you aboard!
