Why I didn't get my shower this morning...

This is the hose bib out by the barn (where it connects to the under ground water line).  It had been running at a trickle, and when you have 8 sheep and a plant nursery to provide water for, a trickle just doesn't make it.  So The Shepherd decided that since he had the day off (Labor Day) that he would use it to labor and replace the darn thing.

Unfortunately one of the parts cracked when he was digging it up and he had to turn off the water to the whole place and run into town - the part that cracked was the only part he didn't have extra of! Thank goodness Home Depot wasn't closed for labor day!!

Darn - I had forgotten that he was going to do that - and that's what I get for sleeping in...

Of course he had no lack of supervision. 

"Do you need me to jump down there and check things out???" 

Looked like too much work for Gracie...

Bella & Gracie had a solution to my "no shower" woes. 

"There's nothing better than a good dust bath, Mummy"

Roll this way and that, and then do a few lickety lick licks.

You'll never know you missed that shower.  

"Yeah, right,  Fresh as a daisy..."
