Project Twister Shield 1.0 and crippling heat

Well it has finally gotten to the point where Twister, the pygmy goat, gets his photo taken on a daily basis in order for us to post an ad on Kijiji for adoption... but we aren't at the point of actually putting up the ad. He has taken to pulling down any clothing that is on the clothesline and urinating and sleeping on it. And so I set to and built another fence to keep him corralled and to also "encourage" the birds to keep away from the road.

It took my a total of about 7 hours in two shots but I got it done. The post cutting and hauling and post hole digging was sweaty in work in this scorching heat. Pro tip - don't operate a chainsaw without a shirt when you are all sweaty... It tends to make a wood pulp paste all over your body.

Here are some photos that Annie took out of the window while I slaved away ;)

The animals have been content and growing quickly. They certainly spend a lot of time at the watering hole with the heat these days.

There is still time for a little strutting. Timmy Tom is just showing the little one how it's done.

The Bearded Lady has teamed up with the Black Lady since the latter's eggs weren't viable. They like heading down to the garden and hanging out in the cows field with the babies.

At the end of the day, everyone is doing well. There is a real pleasure in watching the birds have a wonderful time wandering about, eating bugs in the grass, hanging out on piles of branches, sunning themselves, having dust baths and generally enjoying themselves.
