Early Morning Sky

We had two clear mornings in a row with good views of Venus and the moon before sunrise. As a person that does not check the movement of the moon and planets every night, I was amazed at how much different the relative positions were on the two different mornings.

A cool rainy October morning with some sun expected later. The building in the centre is our barn. It is home to our donkey, goats, geese, chickens, cat, and dog during the night but they come and go during the day.

Hay

Thanks to Fleur-Ange for helping moving these 70 bales to the barn. Only took an hour and a half to move them 60 metres into the barn and to stack them there.

So we had a warm winter with very little snow then a hot summer with almost no rain and we expected the well to go dry at any time. Now it is fall and we have had a few good rains and now the well is too low for the pump to bring up any water.

We had a truck load of water dumped into the well a few minutes ago and now we will have water for a bit but I saw the water drop a good metre before the truck got out of the driveway. I checked all the water taps and flushed the toilets and then the water slowed to a trickle. Not sure what is wrong now.
Sigh!
