Mucking Out

There is just no end to it.   Where there are animals living in the barn there will be hay and poop to shovel out.  My grandson Luke was great at helping me muck out the barn.  With no machine to help with the job the only way to attack it is with a scraper, shovel and fork.  Kim and Jared Parkinson helped me get the walkway to the milk room cleared - one of the few areas I like to keep concrete visible.  With big snows coming soon we were lucky to get several wheel barrels out to the dumping area before it's blocked by drifts.  Many hands make for light work and good company is always welcome.
