Woo hoo - another 4 day weekend. Hope I can make good use of it!
We've been working on a fence project all week and got it completed last night - except for hanging the gate. My former students have been over every afternoon this week. They're great workers and quite comical entertainment too. They are fraternal twins and are in constant competition with each other. And, they "fight" amongst themselves constantly...mostly just trash talkin'...not real fighting. One scratched himself on a thorn bush and the other told him to make sure "you get a band-aid that'll match your purse", lol! They are both very athletic, body building, weight lifting, drill runnin' football guys who I've convinced that farm work is the best workout ever! They love it and are anxious for the next project.
I wormed two of the milkers yesterday...or was it the day before? Gee whiz - this is why I write everything down, lol. Anyway - the point is that I've gotta discard the milk for awhile. I'm gonna feed some to the dogs and chickens, but I'm also gonna dilute some down with water and pour it around the tomato plants. OH, OH, OH - I'm getting tomatoes! I had one yesterday and I'm about to go pick another for my breakfast. YUM!
Hoping that DH and I can take a weekend trip soon. Ok, so not a whole weekend... but at least a night away. We'll go down to the coast and grab a hotel room or maybe a bed and breakfast. I'll milk a little early one afternoon and we can leave right after that and won't have to be home for at least 24 hours! I need to get on that planning... DH is in dire need of a break!
Ok - gotta get busy.
