Coffee anyone ?

[Mini Horses]

Coffee this morning and out the door! Been riding the tractor, cutting fields. Winter crap and spring weeds. It's 79 out there now but, a lovely 67 in the house. It's compliments of a cool night, morning windows shut and shades drawn down. Nice lunch break...I just made a diesel run first, so I can have more tractor time. Wow, almost $5 a gallon!! That's off road, too, so about 30 cent below road diesel. Yikes!

Yesterday I finally ordered the throttle cable for the walk behind tiller. Time to use it and, hey, didn't do well with plan ahead! . Supposed to rain tonight. Got a few sprinkles last night. Not much but enough that it was sprinkling off tree leaves that I mowed under this morning. I like night rains....actually the fresh morning smells.. Moved goat herd to a field for fence cleaning duties...they love it!

Need to get back at it! Work scheduled for all week. Need this done.

I put a coat of paint on window trim boards this morning. Washed 2 loads of clothes. Finally got out my Premiere1 Electro Netting and read instructions 3 or 4 times. Now that it’s clear as mud, time to begin. I spend more time these days just looking for tools. So many places to look, they are scattered from here to yonder and back. It has taken me all afternoon to get it put up and connected. I have no idea how all this charger, ground rod, connectors and stuff works. I always put what little we did in the hands of Neighbor Robert and BJ. Eh. I FINALLY got it working, it’s pumping out 8-9 on the tester thingy. I suppose that means it’s hot. It was 0.1 so 8 or 9 is an improvement. LOL

To celebrate my success I came in for ice water and 2 brownies. Going back out to let the sheep graze the yard for awhile.

Got about 5 acres cut, some low branches DD had cut for me about a month ago stacked to burn down the road. Way more to stack! But a good start. Rain tonight and about 3 days this week, of some amount. May be able to get cut stuff raked by coming weekend to burn if weather permits. That pile is about 6' high. Just part of one field...did two . Felt good!

If you're gonna rake it, take it to the garden and PILE HIGH for mulch around the plants... added organic matter to the garden, the worms will love you not "tilling them" into little pieces... and when the ground is damp and softer under neath it, it is soooo much easier to pull weeds... Saving gas in the tiller... MULCH DEEP...

Too many seeds!! But. I have 14 bale's of old hay for mulch...a gift . It's waiting for something to grow

My eyes flew open before 4 AM. I laid in bed another hour, sleep not happening. Drinking coffee. I'll look at mobile home rehab sites to entertain myself. At least the doublewide I'm buying is in perfect shape, I'm just redoing the interior walls. So ready to get started, but I gotta wait! I sure hope we can close this week on the 5th. I'll call the real estate agent and check on progress this morning.

Ahhhh Coffee...On my 3rd cup. It's raining today so I'm planning inside activities...like laundry and writing my personal statement to get into the Masters program.
Volly Prom (Installation dinner) was fun, of course my first lieutenant (who has done literally zero for almost two years) showed up late and didn't get sworn in with the rest of us. He arrived without his arm stripe (has had a year and a half to achieve this momentous task-lol) and was wearing a striped tie...I'm not surprised, but it would have been nice if he looked like a lieutenant instead of a mess. Everything was status quo-lots of dancing and good food. People who haven't shown up since pre-pandemic were there, so that was interesting.
Yesterday was such a beautiful day that I did nothing but enjoy the sunshine and warm temperatures. It was a mental health day off. FH went to visit his dad, who I love, but sitting inside for several hours wasn't me, I'll call him later on, and catch up on the family gossip.

I just posted pictures of 2 horses in a kill pen, on my journal, that I'm considering. Feel free to go take a look and give your opinions.

Well, weatherperson says rain 3 of 5 days this week. We shall see. Gonna check weather channel to see how much they suggest, then schedule my jobs. Pretty slow for 2 weeks. That's great, I have things to do -- garden and other farm stuff. Yesterday was satisfying with tractor time....I might even get a couple rolls of fence up. pretty sure I'll need a few more posts. DD now works at Lowes -- discount!

Both of those boys are beautiful and seem like they would be great additions and companions!
