Home from the service and a lunch afterwards. visited with the family a little... DS had spent alot more time over there over the years and is better friends with the family than I am... plus taking his dad a couple times to go see him and trips to poultry shows too...

In to change clothes,,,, had to answer a few texts and phone calls for testing. Got some stuff in the works, 2 farms scheduled next week too....
Heading out the door to get on the mower for a bit... Been sunny and real nice all day.

They showed up this morning to start pounding posts at the farm..... YAY....

Back in. Thought I sent this, but then got tied up on the phone with another farmer... never seems to go as planned.
I did get the spider plants watered good and the Chrysanthemums watered. Got at discount price a week or 2 ago... plan to plant them and see if any survive for next year...
Got the bags of feed from the explorer that DS got the other day when at Rural King... transferred over to the forester... and yes, the tire is still flat... Might try to get the air tank and get it blown up to get me to the co-op... DS is too busy with the guys with the fencing, and I am not going to bother him now. Made up 3 buckets for the calves (I mix 2 kinds together) and got all that in the car.

There was some dampness so did not bring in the clothes... haven't been here to do so anyway... Put a load in to soak, so will finish washing and take them out to hang, and bring the others in tomorrow...

It is so dry, that the leaves are coming off the trees as fast as they are turning... I want to get out the lawn sweeper and get some of these leaves up and bagged for the winter. and cut the grass and then sweep it again with the dried grass in it too...
Took down a section of the electric netting so I can get in the garden easier... but no sense in taking alot down as I will use it to partially section off the grass here at the house once the perimeter fence is up... at least along a couple sides/parts. I have a "rough sketch" of where I want the posts for the future fence... for gates and such.... but it is basically going to be full perimeter fence except across the front and directly around the house/driveway area.

So after all that food today, probably don't need to eat... maybe a little later. Since it is already dark, I will work on something in here...
