Sunday-Had planned on this being a rest day, but that didn't happen...mowed hay! Then went to Chris's house as Jere and his kids were there. Good visit. Then home and more porch sitting.
Monday-Was hoping again for an easy day, once again...NOT! Greg and I walked Anya and Isabeau down the lane to the camp site and found that there is another site in the south west corner of the field as well as the one under the Hickory tree.
Breakfast and chores, computer time to check to see when my new found cousin Patti plans on getting here on Saturday. Then stripped all the beds and washed and hung them out. Had lunch then raked hay. After that we packed up the broilers in crates and took them to the butcher. We will pick them up on Tuesday all ready for the freezer.
Beds need to be made, but need to take sheets off the line first, still awful hot, not much go.
Tuesday-Had my yearly check up at 8:00AM. Had blood work, EKG, bone density, PAP and Mammogram. All seem fine, but need to increase my calcium intake as the bone density showed some bone loss in my hips and neck.
Did a quick stop at Wally world for Hornworm spray...the tomatoes are super infested and we need to tough, so bring on the chemicals!
After lunch I did really late milking then it was time to pick up the chickens and got them in the freezer then time to bale the hay. 157 bales of second cutting all in the barn...Amen!
Wednesday-Late start didn't get up until 7:10 AM. Took Anya out to the hay field for her walk and let her off leash to run. Then we played with her new toy, a Frisbee. She likes it really big!
Did some cost breakdown of the chicken project and decided on the price per pound.
Greg and I did some garden work, Hornworm killing! and then had breakfast.
Spent the rest of the day cleaning the upstairs.
Around 5:30 PM Jenn and Pat showed up to pick up their chickens. I was running late for a 4H meeting, so we loaded Skippy and went to the Johnson's home for practice. Got home around 8:30 PM did chores and watched TV.
Thursday-Up at 6:00 AM and cleaned the downstairs front house. Daniella arrived around nine. Did chores, had lunch, and relaxed on the porch a while. Did some Fair preparations. Daniella wormed Skippy, gave her a new collar and neck number and then walked the bucklings. After that I gave Daniella her first lesson in crochet.
Greg worked in the barn all day doing some repairs and moving hay around.
Friday-Finished cleaning the downstairs, breakfast and then chores. Daniella and I clipped the bucklings, which were surprisingly calm and took it all in stride. Hoof trimming as well.
After lunch a friend stopped by with Isaiah's papers and we had a great visit.
Jenn and Pat stopped by on their way home from work and picked up Daniella. After dinner Greg and I did some baking and salad making so we would have goodies for when my cousin and her parents are here.
Saturday-Made more food preparations. Had breakfast and did chores by 11:00 AM.
Patti and her parents arrived right on time and we spent the rest of the day getting acquainted and sharing family history. Patti's Great Great Grandfather was my Great Grandmother's brother. We found each other on Ancestry.com. We were able to fill in some information on each other ancestry. We had a grand time and found that we had several interests in common. Around 6:00 PM they left to go back to Ann Arbor for the evening, where her parents live. Patti is coming back tomorrow to do more hunting and we plan on road trip to visit some "historical" places that I know of.
Did chores, we had a simple dinner of leftovers and relaxed on the porch. I couldn't sit still, so I got out another box of pictures and ended up staying up until1 AM!
