I have adjusted to the time change...somewhat....

I admit this year has been a bit easier with the time change. I don't know why...but I don't feel as anxious when it gets close to 4 pm.....I just put on a head lamp and head out to do chores. The 1st barn chickens are usually in the barn before it gets  dark and I don't have to chase after them . The girls in the trailers are mostly up on their perches when I come by to close the trailer doors and any windows that need to be closed. I turn the lights on in the barn while I feed the sheep and the donkey, but will turn the lights off as soon as I can let the sheep back in , once the donkey has eaten her food.  The only time the lights stay on is once lambing starts ....that way it is easier to see where all the sheep  are and make sure no ewe is having difficulties giving birth. .
So winter is coming, time to go and cut down a Christmas tree before life gets too chaotic....then holiday cards and trying to wrap and mail presents. The wrapping and mailing presents has been the hardest thing for me since the pandemic... I don't know why....I love giving gifts to people....we shall see how it goes!
