A beautiful 77 degrees and you can bet your shirt I'm out in it! You can also bet your shirt I feel my age and some!! So much hard work in need of doing. I head out to clean the barn first because frankly its a huge mess with chickens pooping everywhere! Got that done..took a break. A friend dropped by for a quick visit, ate a snack of and headed back out. My goal? Get the pigs pen raked and cleaned! Last time I got it raked it rained and I didn't get the piles picked up...so you can understand how bad it must be now! Well after raking and shoveling pig mess in a wheel barrel, wheeling to a spot chosen just for it..and back for more, my back hurts, it burns and aches! My arms feel like weighted lead! But I got'er done and I feel good! Accomplished even. Pigs pen is done and the girls are happy. Ok the girls were happy before. They actually don't seem to care either way LOL. but between me working and giving scratches, they felt the love! As they slurped down the fresh water in their freshly cleaned water dishes, laid in the cool shade..princesses. Spoil little princesses in their clean pen. LOL

Moving to Texas we could finally realize our dream. We came with 6 kids, adopted 2 more and now we have none. So Our solo farm adventure begins...Cathy Archives
