Fall at the Farm

I had started a "couch to 5k" running program and was at week three when low and behold fall had started to take hold. The Fall season brings a whole host of tasks that need to be completed. So the couch to 5k has now turned into a farm to 5k program as the following tasks are completed.  Thankfully I didn't have to do this all on my own.  Several friends offered to experience my "farm exercise" program. 
  • 20 sheep needed to be shorn
  • Sheep hooves need trimming
  • 2.5 tons of hay put up for the winter
  • barn needed to be shoveled
  • Hen house cleaned out and prepped for winter
  • Pick up apples from neighboring orchard to feed to the sheep
All this is keeping up with the "couch to 5K" I was doing.  I can now say all is done and now its back to the couch to 5K.
