The sun decided to mutiny and take a few days off. Cold and grey. But luckily it&#8217;s back now. It&#8217;s been a splendid, sunny weekend actually. So NOW it&#8217;s DEFINITELY spring.<\/p>\n<p>Your move, seasons.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, I did some yard work in the goat pen. I decided to get a rake and try to clean up the place a little. There&#8217;s been a big buildup of old hay all over the place. Layers on layers. The bottom practically fermenting in places. I thought, if there&#8217;s to be a chance of anything green growing in the pen then  I&#8217;d better try and clear some ground. It was hard work, really. The rake things were sort of plasticcy and not very good. And I&#8217;m not used to using my body like that. It was sore for days after. I got about halfway done, maybe, on Tuesday. When I came back Thursday most of it had been finished. Nina told me that they&#8217;d had some kids help out clearing the rest. I&#8217;ll probably do a little polish up next week, but it&#8217;s looking much better. I don&#8217;t know how much green there&#8217;ll be, but at least I tried. I also continued the work on the wooden staircases. Yes, it&#8217;s a man&#8217;s life in the goat pen. Hard work. Haha, not really. And I love those goats. I don&#8217;t mind doing a little work to keep them happy and entertained. My heart grows a size or two when I&#8217;m with them.<\/p>\n<p>Otherwise, not much to report. Mama will be making soup on my birthday, next Saturday. I can dig it.<\/p>\n<p>And photos. We&#8217;ll start off with a bunch of Palle. <\/p>\n<p><a HREF=\"http:\/\/plume.dk\/pics\/displayimage.php?pos=-6627\"><img WIDTH=450  SRC=\"http:\/\/plume.dk\/pics\/albums\/uploads\/2014\/thumb_140303_palle1.jpg\"\/><\/a><br \/>Surveying the scene.<\/p>\n<p><a HREF=\"http:\/\/plume.dk\/pics\/displayimage.php?pos=-6628\"><img WIDTH=450  SRC=\"http:\/\/plume.dk\/pics\/albums\/uploads\/2014\/thumb_140303_palle2.jpg\"\/><\/a><br \/>Profile. <\/p>\n<p><a HREF=\"http:\/\/plume.dk\/pics\/displayimage.php?pos=-6629\"><img WIDTH=450  SRC=\"http:\/\/plume.dk\/pics\/albums\/uploads\/2014\/thumb_140304_palle1.jpg\"\/><\/a><br \/>I love this picture.
