I’m up at 4:30 and it doesn’t make me feel any younger. Heck, I woke up at 2:30 and didn’t go back to sleep. I think I have an afternoon nap coming up. Coffee is ready!
Morning all need to clean up kitchen check on all the chicks and ducklings. Thinking about working some in the garden. Need to get more house work done and some other things done.
Lunch break. So far two batches of green beans canned, more are snapped but have a meeting so they'll keep.
So have been window shopping for a pony for dd1... yes she has one but she's very small, 24 years old and has allergy/asthma cough.... so very much debating. We decided that Richie is too much for her, he got very nervous at the 4h show... needs work on herd bound issues. I like having 7 ponies/horses and less would be even better but... she loves riding. Going to restart riding lessons here in a couple of weeks. Horse/pony prices are plain stupid. So trying to wait until fall.... There's a really nice one but price is out of budget... they will lease but... not sure I like that. Anyways that's what I've been being distracted by.
Well got one more seed pack of corn in the ground after i finally got outside and it start pouring rain after i got four more rows done i should have done five but oh well to late now. Have lots more seed packs to go.... very wet year here and cool which is weird.
I picked green beans, BJ snapped them. Canned 10 pints. I also pulled my Painters Mountain corn and shucked it. Sure enough the 3” of rain we got Monday had done it’s damage. Most was ok, but some was sprouting and moldy. Ears are spread on the table to dry.
I'd share rain. You're right @farmerjan that stuff that came across NC/VA line gave me a good soaking! Couple days in a row, mostly late day and night. But a good pasture rain. Even a little before daybreak this morning. Prob more Sun.
So traps by coop caught a big ole possum last night. He won't bother another coop..RIP. Bated and left them out again. Who knows what's out there!?!
