FINI!

We are now done the dry paddock! It is HUGE, really, to have this on-going project completed.

TA DA! Presto! Voila' (or for some: Walla, which reminds me of Walla Walla, Washington. A nice town, unless you are looking for work, then maybe not a good fit). My friend Gene complains that the written word will eventually go out of fashion with the demise of newspapers and the invention of Twitter, texting and the like. Maybe he's right, but don't let him know that!

We also have water to the barn and pasture, the electric is run, but not installed. We still have to buy the wire, and that is expensive because it is made of copper.

Late in the day Tom used the manure spreader, which I had filled over the weekend. This is a great invention and glad we have it on-hand. He also mowed the corn field into 'trails' so that we can go riding 'in the dark' after work.

This is really a major milestone in the farm's evolution. Horse-keeping just got simplified! We have some minor adjustments and additions to make, and through the cold months we will continue to address these plans. We might also change our minds about things, too. We can do that, wouldn't be the first time.

The next thing on the 'to-do list' is get our old house rent-able. Also minor, but will take some hours to complete. We have the long Thanksgiving holiday coming up, so we should use those extra days to work on the list and get the house empty and presentable.
