Teresa & Mike CHS - Our journal

[Mike CHS]

Supposedly we have another 4 days or so in the mid 90's and then getting down to the 80's which is normal for this time. We normally have some wind that makes it easier to work but even that is not happening now.

We are usually fairly wet in September but I saw the other day that our normal for the month was 4.6 and we have had less than 1/2 inch. At least I'm getting some things done since I'm not cutting grass.

 

[Hens and Roos]

we have to cut grass at least once per week otherwise it gets to long. Our yard still has some standing water from last week. Our goats are tired of the mud and wet too!

butting trees

This is not a smart aleck question -- what in the world is "butting trees"? When I first read the phrase, I thought "Is Mike hitting his head on the trees out of frustration?" =>

(Dumb) Senile Texas Aggie

Teresa has to work for a couple of hours this afternoon

Work? I thought both of you were retired.

We don't have the standing water but I mowed weekly all summer and have mowed for the last time this year ... twice. And I need to do it again.

She filled in with a friend a couple of times and that evolved into about 15-20 hours a week.

 

[Bruce]

So she is now semi-retired. I think she's going the wrong direction. But if she likes it and it makes her happy then

 

[Mike CHS]

She likes doing it and enjoys the interaction with people. She is almost 10 years younger than I am so she isn't quite ready for the slow life now that we maintain more than build.
