Hey guys, been a busy weekend here. Spent all day yesterday in the barn getting stuff done. Today I got to show my boy in our first real jumping show. We definitely learned a lot, but more then anything, I am so proud that we managed to make it happen. I am off to get my first vaccine this afternoon, too.

Beautiful warm weather with some wind. I had all sorts of plans. And then today I felt like poo and did almost nothing. I mowed a little and emptied the sprayer, played with the kids a little and ate grilled some of our mini steaks. I do like pork.

Coffee is ready. I tilled the garden yesterday, sore this morning. No rest for the weary, today we lay down cardboard and put wood chip mulch over it. We load the mule with the tractor, then shovel it out and put over the cardboard. Yesterday evening I worked on my chicken tractor, kinda got the top figured out. I didn’t figure the thickness of the 2” PVC for the top, then the 2 Tees, so had to contemplate on that. LOL The tin I plan on using came up a little short, so had to figure out how to compensate for that.I think I got it. I’m not a builder, but I muddle through things and make it work. The top will be in 2 pieces, half will be fixed, wired in place. Half will be a lift top for access to feed, water, put chicks in and take them out.

Y’all have a great day!

Thanks @Baymule! We got DH's equipment moved around and started mowing at the farm.
Today school, I have a zoom meeting. And hoping to get a trailer load of hay moved and finish mowing at the farm.

Chores last night. Horses are happy to be fed, though it was late.

Because pictures show it happened. Yep, that's a hay storage trailer there...old, aluminum one...wooden floor, air vents at top. Bought 22 yrs ago. A connex on wheels.. They don't even make these now, it's all lightweight & softer sides now. This one is hard sided. So my project is confirmed...glad It's done. Today is sunny and warm.

This was first section in from a week ago.....

This was Friday of this past, tractor and I removed all old...Can see first section in background, left to right.

This is new in taken Saturday late day, as rains rolled in...just from opposite end.

Only here can a new fence be appreciated!!! First pic looks front to back of farm, road on left is a dirt one to back of farm. Others are across front and that is a paved public road. Yep, out fence, jump down embankment, over ditch and they're in the road. Of course, they just hustled to the 30 acre hay field across the road....

Got most of the garden tilled yesterday and some planted. Need to till a section for the spanich, swisschard, greenbeans, and corn and i think thats it. I thinking of making a few raised beds for carrots and beets. I dont think they will do well in our clay if memory serves they end up very short and very fat and not really worth the effort. Dh helped yesterday i used the pick axe to help soften certian areas so he could use the tiller. Concidering we got alot of rain you would think it would have been easier but no even his dad was having a hard time plowing with the tractor in the field some areas were still to hard for the tractor... today need to hit feed store, clean house, garden work, school, and my midwife is coming over for my appointment. Gonna have sausage and biscuits for breakfast so right now going to work on that and cleaning and deciding what to do for lunch and supper another thing i need to do is make a meal plan life is less hectic with one.

Thanks for the coffee Bay. Getting my 'relaxing' day today. Beautiful weather here, so probably going to do some work with the lambs after I finish homework.

No working in the garden today, I forgot neighbor has it, changing oil and filters. So I got the 2 top pieces for my chicken tractor figured out, measured, cut and glued. We moved laying hens to hoop coop. Going to dismantle the temporary (for 3 or 4 years) coop in the garden and use materials in constructing new ones.
