<Insert Snazzy Title Here
Whew I can breathe a little This morning for the first time in 2 weeks. Today is the first morning I haven't had to get up and be somewhere right away. It feels good! Now if I can just be motivated to get some things done in the house instead! Saturday did not go as planned. We pulled the hay feeder out of the pasture and got it washed and loaded onto the trailer, then put the bfs motorcycle on the trailer. The plan was to do the but off to be inspected and then pick it up again in our way back from doing the hay feeder off. We are an hr later than we wanted to be getting loaded up to Keane and I go to get into the truck and look back at the trailer, thank God I did, because the tire was flat. Bf looks at it to find a big chunk missing out of the side wall. We drive it down to the shop and the bf pulls the tire off and we call around to find a place with another tire. His brother decides to ride up on his bike so they can ride together to get them inspected since his brother needs his done too.
Tire goes into the back of the truck and I follow them to the bike shop them we all ride to the tire shop and drop that off. We are starting because by more is after 1, so we grab food then get the tire and reverse the whole process. We finally get in the road with the hay feeder at 3, and it's an hr drive.
We get there and get it delivered pretty easily. Interesting small property locked in between a bunch of houses which is good for a riding program. The owners house is huge! And gorgeous. He covets his equipment and won't reach the rising instructor/barn manager to drive the tractor which is probably a good thing because he can't drive it worth a darn. The bf was cringing the whole time and biting his tongue. We got it off the trailer and set up for them and then got back on the road. The only positive for things not going as planned is that we would have forgotten the net for the feeder If we had left when we tried to the first time. Glad that didn't happen!
Sunday I helped S clear out a storage unit that has some of his daughters stuff in it and then he gave me some furniture. He has enough extra furniture to set up a while nother house! I brought home a bigger microwave, a little night stand chest of drawers and a chair. I told the bf about a few other things and he wants those too so we'll probably take care of that this weekend.
I rearranged and bright stuff in the house and then my friend T came over to look at the leftover fence boards we had so she might be able to construct a round pen for her farm out of them. We happened to look at a pile of junk that was dumped near the burn pile and discovered a bunch of doors and wood. It looked like one of the landlords commercial properties was cleared out. I showed the bf as soon as he got home and we were able to salvage a bunch of stuff to upgrade what is in the house.
This weekend's haul includes:
$4.00 6' bookcase from a road side sale on Fri afternoon
Microwave
Wing back chair
Night stand
3 doors to replace the cost closet and 2 bedroom doors upstairs
4 sets of bifold doors to replace the doors on the 2 closets upstairs
1 long countertop that can be made into a work bench
1 old wooden box that just looks cool
That's a serious haul! I can't wait to get everything reorganized and straight again
Yesterday's meeting went well with the extension office lady. We walked the pasture and get first comment was wow you have a lot of cover! She's going to work up the nutrient management plan for me and help me figure out what we need to do and the most economical way to do it without chemicals. The only other thing we need to Do before she van finalize the plan is get the manure spreader running so that she can calibrate it for us so we can spread our compared manure. I have to do some more research on how to properly compost manure so that it is completely broken down send will help the soil and not harm it. Hopefully we can get that done soon so I can start using the manure.
If I'm going to get anything done this morning before I have to feed to the farm is better get to it!
