As soon as I got home today, I turned the girls out in the front and let them graze out there until almost dark. Lizzie did a fine job of trimming along the driveway and even pulled the grass that was growing up out of the cracks in the middle of the drive! What a good girl!
When it started to get dark, I carried their feed and soaked beet pulp over to the barn and started getting their dinner ready. Had my back to that front door (or where the front door WILL BE) so it came as something of a shock to hear Lizzie step up onto the concrete behind me! She obviously decided it would be far more efficient to come directly into the "kitchen" instead of going to her stall and pacing back and forth waiting for her dinner as she usually does! Fortunately, she's a sweet girl and it was easy to back her out and lead her around to her own "room."
But I'm really glad Mark will be home TOMORROW (yippee!) since he's planning to install all the exterior doors on the barn this time in, I think! (Well, he is NOW - that's for sure!) We already have all the doors (FIVE of them!), and for that matter, all the knobs and locks arrived this week as well, so it shouldn't take too long to get the doors up. Of course, until the top half of the front gets enclosed, they will still be able to stand outside with their heads sticking in between the studs to watch me fix their dinners, but at least they won't be able to come in and help!
