My original plan for picking up a new horse was I was going to sell Jack in the fall so I could save on a hay bill and pick a new one up in the spring. My buddy found Blueberry and showed my wife who has a thing for blue roans and next thing I knew I was driving up to American Falls to pick her up. Two year old and she’d never been haltered. Took me over an hour to get a halter on her and get her loaded in the trailer. She is a beauty.
Not much got done outside the last couple days. My wife rented a dumpster to clean up the house and yard so every minute I’m not at work gets dedicated to that. Never realize how much junk gets collected until you’ve filled up a giant dumpster.

I used the Western NC need for household goods and clothing as an incentive to clean out closets and sheds. It's good to know that someone will get use of my unused/good stuff.

We have the DI and they get most of the clothes and other things that we don’t use. What I’m throwing away is 100% junk. Carpet and rugs that got ruined by a flooded basement, busted toys, junk that was left by previous owners and was just sitting in my silo, garage, or storage room waiting for somewhere to go. I reuse a lot of stuff when I can but all of this is useless.
Working on running electrical to my chicken coop. We have underground power that goes to a light pole in the middle of the back yard for some reason or another. I can tap into that and make sure the chickens have a light for the winter and heated water. When they were in my silo there is already power to that so it wasn’t an issue. But when I built a better coop I lost that benefit. But they have a better run with this coop and I haven’t lost any to mink this year so we’ll call it a win.
