Yesterday (Wednesday) was busy with errands and some cleaning and some paperwork here on the farm. I had to run into town to get copies of a couple of receipts and pick up a couple of things at the store. Finally, I ran down to the thrift store in Smithfield and picked up an auction winning, then take the kids to get some ice cream at the Fat Boy factory in Richmond.
I helped Missus with some of her work in the little shop-in-a-trailer out front. I also did some clean-up with the tractor out back on a debris pile I accidentally made out of a compost pile. There is some good soil at the bottom. In between the soil and the debris was some dirt I could use to fill low spots in the driveway. There is still more work to do out there on that pile. But I got some of it sorted.
I brought up some firewood for today as it is meant to be wet and a little cooler.
It was enough to keep me busy most of the day. It was interspersed with a few mandatory breaks to keep the arthritis pain at bay. Lunch was provided by Subway.
It’s very early as I write this. I am not sure yet what today brings. I won’t be working out in the muddy yard if the precipitation is what the forecast predicts! The tractor rips the yard up pretty bad when the earth is muddy. I am trying to cure that problem as it is. There are errands to run again, and Missus may need some help with a few things. Failing that, I would not complain to get some time cleaning up in the shop a bit. There are some, shall we say, organizational issues. Let’s see what the day brings!
