Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

[The Porch]

It is 40 out, so I built a fire, hard to type when my hands are cold. this back and forth with the weather has my bones hurting. HOT COFFEE is like and internal hot soak

I am going to work around the rain,

Seattle is a bit different

Today and tomorrow I need to unload 20/5lb sand bags into the coop; get the wood chipper going and get as much chipped as I can. I want to finish the run by loading it with wood chips, and edge the garden with chips AND put cardboard down around my lavender beds and put wood chips on top.
There is enough leftovers in the fridge I am NOT cooking-- the chef and dishwasher are off.
More please

Thats so wonderful that you can pass on info,

Consider a learning class. Set a date, a fee, have instruction & hands on training. I've seen a few here for that, also milking classes...goats/cows. Yep, they advertised on craigslist, etc. They did ok. Of course, depends on market & housing area. It's a thought.

Had breakfast with my (former) volunteer gig buddies yesterday. I am considering rejoining in October. Technically, rejoining now, but not really participating, so as to avoid the need to go through the long application process.

Good morning,, PTL for hot coffee,
After I got that sand taken care of yesterday morning,
I used the weed eater on the paddock across the driveway. I got it cleaned up for the dogs. I will need to have them romp in there while the roofers are working,
Then DH finished getting the woodchipper together and we got 3/4 of a big pile done, we filled the new wheelbarrow 7 times. some brush I set aside for the burn pile , it didnt make good woodchips. But, the woodchipper worked good. I is rated to take 6 inch limbs BUT,,, we found 4inch should be the max. Any bigger than that the chipper didnt like it.
I had us stop at 5, I was starting to feel the day and still needed to be able to clean up all the tools. 8-5 is a good work day.

Then the tops came down

A little more detail on the "Tonka Toy" ? Please... would be less "bulk" than loading into the cart I pull behind my Greenworks electric "lawn tractor mower"... more able to manipulate around in tighter spots...
