Yesterday, I wrote about an argument Maria and i had about how to best clean up the manure in the Pole  Barn. Maria likes a metal rake turned over on it’s flat side, I like the other side. This morning, I had the bright idea of using a push broom to get the sheep pellets swept out. I thought ti worked beautifully (we use the rakes for the larger horse and donkey leavings).

I thought it worked beautifully. Maria jeered a bit, she said she still liked the rake. We were both very civil about it. I’m not done yet.
