Nothing new with reporting that weekends fly by, evaporate. So many things planned, can only accomplish what can be done. The most important thing is to get hay - one bale left in the hayloft. Rain is in the forecast.
Todd Greenstone was supposed to come by Thursday night but didn't make it. I would have liked to have ridden Thursday - full Moon and low humidity. That didn't happen. He came over Friday night with his two Vizsla: Angel and Hank. Since they apparently follow him everywhere they got chased, rather aggressively, by Lil Fred and Sprite. We walked around the place, him giving us advice on this and that, estimates on the fields, what not to waste our time and money on. He also gave us a bale of timothy/orchard grass hay.
Saturday morning, overcast, Tom called around for hay and hay prices. They must belong to a Union or something - all the same price, unless you go North, but that costs fuel. We'll get it locally from Tahill Farm in Lisbon.
On the way to get hay it started sprinkling. Great!
it poured buckets last night - everybody stayed IN ALL NIGHT - it was still raining at 11pm so I left them all in with hay.
yesterday - i finished cleaning/waxing the shower - scrubbed the floors, vacuumed, finished up the laundry - dusted (yikes!) - tom finished mowing - he also trimmed trees on the roadway! and pulled all those branches into the truck - now in the burn pile - we need a bonfire! then he dug up the sewer line to install the RV clean-out - the sewer pipe is an odd size so he couldn't complete the job before the rain came - and it rained - from 8:00pm to after midnight. The clean-out will be at the back corner of the house in the 'little woods.'
Anyway - no water can go down the drain in the house - I showered in the trailer this morning - boy, that water is blazing hot! hahaha - and peeing in the yard. Country living! He is home today to fix that problem. We want to be able to dump our black/gray water tanks after camping like we did at Grandin.
We lost two bales of hay on the way back from Tahill Farm - HOWEVER - Todd Greenstone gave us a bale Friday night and then on Saturday afternoon Chris said there was a bale at the end of Annapolis Rock - Tom got that bale - so we actually aren't missing any hay.
Not as hot today, which is a good thing - I'm wearing long sleeves because of the poison ivy/grass rash I have on my arms. Also went grocery shopping yesterday late in the day.
First off thanks for visiting my blog and commenting, I so appreciate that someone looks at the photos I post and am amazed that people actually like them, lol.
