Mud season was short-lived and we've been enjoying some beautiful dry and cool weather this April. The privacy fence is working wonderfully--no more barking dogs spooking the sheep. Here's a recent photo late in the day from the Hayfield Pasture.

Beautiful day yesterday. Had to try to see if any of the fish were biting in Chester Lake. Sure enough, our first fish of 2015 was caught just off the culvert by our bridge. Nice bigmouth bass. Lost the lure a few minutes later to a monster fish by the mouth of the creek. It never showed itself and nearly took the rod and reel out of my hands. It bit through the line after 10 seconds of vigorous fight. No idea what it was, but I'm thinking either Bowfin or Northern Pike. So no picture of the big one that got away, but the adrenaline rush made up for it. 
Spring is upon us and mud season is in full swing. Looking forward to drier days. But in the meantime, I will enjoy watching our lambs grow up healthy and strong. "Babysheep" is doing very well by the way and the rest of the lambs are looking just great. Right now I'm in the process of building a 240 ft privacy fence on the south end, as the neighbor's dogs are spooking the sheep and keeping them from grazing in our hayfield pasture. Once the fence is up, our sheep should be out of sight and out of mind of those stupid dogs.
