Denim Deb Hay, hay, hay. Thank the Lord!

be careful... Changes that big tend to alert Murphy!

Glad you are seeing real progress there

I hope not! But even if something happens that puts me back again, w/as much as I've gotten done, I don't think it would be that hard to get back to this point.

I can't believe that I'm actually able to sit down already! And, the only thing I didn't do was to put away the socks-I forgot. So they'll have to wait until Friday. I didn't get as much done in the bedroom as I wanted to. I did some dishes this morning, then did more when I got home and it took me longer than I was expecting. And since I wanted to be sure I had enough time to do stuff outside B4 it got dark, I didn't do as much as I wanted. But that's OK. I should still finish cleaning the bedroom tomorrow!

Today is the one day that I'm kind of wishing I hadn't gone for the nature hike. This hike was at the Nature Center. And we had one family show up as well as a bunch of volunteers. If I had known the others were coming, I wouldn't have gone. I would have gotten done so much earlier. Oh well.

Tomorrow's nature hike isn't really much of a nature hike. We'll be going to Red Bank Battlefield, which was a battle during the Revolutionary War. It's pretty interesting. I've been there B4, and really enjoyed seeing it. So, I'm looking forward to going. I just need to leave earlier. It takes about 30 minutes to get there, and I could hit some traffic. So, I'll be leaving here earlier so I can leave for there earlier.

Since I'll be leaving early again tomorrow, I'm making my list up again tonight. So for tomorrow, my list is:

1. Iron shirts
2. Clean bedroom
3. Do a load of laundry-just not sure what it will be
4. Normal farm chores
5. Clean field and spread manure
6. Go on nature hike
7. Mow at farm-this will have all of the small fields mowed for the week
8. Dishes
9. Feed bunny and goats and clean more of the goat pen
10. Work in garden

My list looks short, but I don't think I'm missing anything.

The walk today was very interesting. Some of the stuff I already knew, some I didn't. But, I didn't stay the whole time. I left early. I cut the bottom of my foot this morning, and it was bothering me to be on my feet. I don't know how well I'll do tomorrow since we'll be doing more walking.

I didn't get all the mowing done at the farm. Since there's junk in some of the fields, I hit something. I try to watch for stuff, but if the weeds are tall, I miss stuff. And something broke on the mower. But the only thing I hadn't done was mowed all of PT's field. All the others are mowed, and I was able to spread my manure. If the mower isn't fixed by Monday, then I'll probably use the tractor to pull my manure spreader.

And, I'm happy to report that Jimmy Hoffa is NOT under my bed! I did not finish the whole room since it took longer than I was expecting, but I should be able to finish in the morning! I also didn't get to the dishes. They're not going anyplace, so I can do them tomorrow as well.

Tomorrow is the last nature hike. And hubby is only working a half day, so I'm not 100% sure what all I'll be getting done. Since the park that we're going to his near his work, he wants to meet up for lunch, then after that, we'll decide what we're doing. We may work on the hay shelter, or go shopping or whatever. So my list is only for the stuff I know for sure I'll be doing. So, my partial list for tomorrow is:

1. Finish cleaning bedroom
2. Wash and hang out a load of laundry
3. Dishes
4. Sort and put away a bunch of socks
5. Normal farm chores
6. Nature hike
7. Go out for lunch
8. Feed bunny and goats and work more in the goat pen
9. Work in garden

Hubby and I had a bit of a talk tonight. He still wants part of the garden, but not as much. So, we figured out what I'm going to have, and what he's going to have for next year. So, I'll be able to try some new stuff as well as spread out what I have. Next year's garden is going to be great!

My foot was bothering me some today, but it's not that bad of a cut. It's more of a nuisance than anything else because of where it's located. I was going to soak it, but after dealing w/a drunk hubby for several hours, I just didn't feel like it. We went out to lunch, then I headed over to the farm to feed Stormy and take care of the chickens. I called him when I was leaving-only to find out that he wasn't even home yet! But, he said he was almost home. I got home, and he STILL wasn't home! So, I took a bit of a break, then went back to working in the bedroom. I don't know where he went, but by the time he got home, he was drunk. He should NOT have been driving. And then he started being a pain in the butt. I was glad when he finally fell asleep. I finished the bedroom (

), then ran an errand. He was up by the time I got home, but still sounded like he was drunk. So, I went out did the goats and bunny, and worked in the garden. Then I came in and did dishes. He got take outs-I can't figure out why he bought as much food as he did. I've had a shower, and am now relaxing.

Hubby says we're going to go out in the morning and finish the hay shelter. I will believe it when I see it. But, if we don't get it done tomorrow, there's still Sunday and Monday as well as next Saturday and Sunday. I won't be going to the hay auction this week-I have my appointments. But, I will be going the following week. So on that Monday, I plan on getting the pallet out. I figure if I wait a bit, I have that much less hay to move around.

I must have been tired! I went to bed around 10:00, and have just gotten up. And I was glad to wake up. I had odd dreams all night long. Now I can finally get caught up w/everything on here. I've been so beat at night that I've been catching up on my journal, and not reading anything else.

The roof is on the hay shelter! So next week, I can finish the sides and the door. Of course since I'm just using tarps for that, it won't be too hard to do. When I finally get my own place, I'll build a couple of good ones, but the sides and door will be wooden, even if I just use the OSB and paint it. I figure that will be plenty good to store hay and hopefully won't be that expensive.

 

[Denim Deb]

It is not quite the way I want it, but I have the tarps up over the door! I just didn't feel like messing w/it today. It was hot and breezy out, not a good day to be trying to get tarps in the position I want. We could get showers tonight and tomorrow, so at least my hay should stay dry. And even if I don't get to getting the tarps the way I want them for a bit, it's not as pressing. I can actually wait until it's cooler w/no wind.

 

[Denim Deb]

Looks like we got done the hay shelter just in time. According to the radar, it's storming at the farm. And, we should be getting hit at any time now. I just heard thunder.

 

[Wannabefree]

We've been rained on for days here. We needed it, but I am tired of it already :/

Nice feeling to know you got it done and don't need to think about losing all that time and $$$.
