I got up and made breakfast for Missus; beans on toast, topped with fried eggs. It is a long way from her favorite Full Cooked English Breakfast, but it is a part of it, and it sure is good! After feeding the goats and the llama, I sat out back on the granary step with the girls and talked with them a bit, till our son and grandson came by. We sat a bit longer, enjoying the young cats popping up out of the grass like popcorn along the back fence! They would go one and two at a time in a pounce, then out of nowhere, three at once a couple of times. It sure was a sight!
We took the soda cans to town to recycle, then over to our son’s house to check out is dodgy stairs, which I accidentally broke while trying to realign one of the risers. The runner on top fell through! Decided that needed to be fixed right away, so we wet to the hardware and he bought some nails. I got me a new Fiskars hammer to replace the old Estwing I have not been able to find for months now. I am sure not happy about the missing hammer, but this new one is a 20oz. roofing hammer, and I quite like it. It would not hurt to have a few different types of hammers, so that is something I should consider looking into getting. But there are so many tools I need still… so many!
After we fixed the stair, and checked out a few of the other ‘features’ of his house, we came back down to ours, and took some boxes out to storage, then rested and talked a bit.
The sun is setting outside right now, and I have not seen the farmer with his backhoe today. No worries! I am kind of glad! Seems like a nice day to finish off with a restful evening! I think I detect an early night coming!
No nibbles on the field yet, though we have had lookers drive by slowly. It sure would be useful to sell it. We could get a couple of things done on the house, then list it. Meanwhile, just a day at a time, and a bite at a time.
