The Weekend is Here!


The weather couldn't be any nicer - really - beautiful sunrise, delicious day, perfect conditions for working outside all day. It would have been a great weekend to ride, too, but not enough time to do everything that needs to be done.

Housewife chores get in the way, too, but somebody has to do the laundry, and clean the bathroom, and vacuum. That would be me. Tom worked so hard on laying the water line in the trenches and installing the water hydrants - one in the future wash stall and one near the gate where the pasture trough is now located. It is fantastic having running water! No more hoses from the house to the barn, across the parking lot. So modern and convenient!


Up early Sunday, feed and water the kids, then off to the grocery. There is a Starbucks in the store and I have a gift card... No body there, including staff. One cashier - o boy! Beautiful watching the sun rise on the way home from the store, another gorgeous day dawning. House water is turned off for the hydrant installation. The PVC piping joints have to cure. Glad I finished laundry yesterday!

Cleaning stalls, dumping manure, pulling electric line through the conduit in the trench. Another busy day!

We had visitors, too. Paul and his daughter, Annie, stopped by to inspect the new barn and then our neighbor from the old house came over.
