Warming temperatures and lots of rain has turned our grass-fed homestead into a swamp.  The katahdin sheep and the chickens are doing okay since they have larger shelters which provides dry ground but the American Guinea Hogs are eating their bedding which results in a wet ground for them. 
I also give an update on the status of my poison ivy rashes on my hands.  This is an update from this video:
