By the time I get the laundry on the line before chores this morning, my fingers will probably be quite numb! Not too many days left to hang out laundry to dry - unless I want it freeze-dried. But it sure saves on the propane bill when every load of laundry doesn't have to go through the dryer. Goodness knows that the money saved on propane can certainly be used somewhere else on the farm!
Once the laundry is up, the dogs and I will head to the night pasture to call the cows in. It's really neat, and kind of spooky sometimes to see these creatures emerging from the darkness at the edge of the woods, slowly coming into view as they lumber up towards the barn. The dogs trot from cow to cow, giving them a slight bit of encouragement to pick up the pace, or give a playful nip to those who are wanting to stay in bed just a little bit longer before they make that morning trip to the barn. Sure am glad I don't have the dogs as my snooze alarm!
