Well the cows are supposed to walk over here on Monday (about 10 KM) with a lot of help to move them along. There are about 25 coming from a herd in a nearby village. Garry and Maxim are working on getting a fence up- here they are digging holes with the post hole augers along the side of the barn by the babushka's garden. You can see here in one picture supervising the placement of the line for the fence yesterday. The metal poles are all cemented in tonight, they are going to pick up the wire and put it up Saturday.
You can see her roaming chickens making themselves at home behind the summer kitchen (not too far from the grapevines- see yesterday's post) I have solved the problem of the barking dog by our bedroom window- she replaced her large dog that died in the village epidemic at the beginning of June with a small black dog that seemed to bark at night too. However Garry said he thought it was hungry.... here we are with a full bag of dogfood and no dog now. So a couple nights ago I snuck over to the fence and dropped a handful of kibble over. The experiment was s success- when the roosters start crowing at 4 or 5 am he doesn't join in! So every night I take a little walk over that way to feed my new friend.
