I had a whole day worth of work planned out for the farm. Even though it was going to be nice out, I had to take the truck since I had stuff that HAD to go out-including Stormy's supplement. And, since it was going to be calm, I was going to take a steak and cook it over a fire. But, I figured I'd have most if not all of the stones in the stalls, and maybe work on a couple of other things. Had everything in the truck I needed last night so I wouldn't forget anything. Then, I got the e-mail, a reminder from the Nature Center about a large group they had coming in and needed volunteers for helping. This was a whole grade from one of the schools! I had to leave earlier than I'd planned, forgot to leave the door opened on the greenhouse and forgot to strap my ankle!
I get to the farm, and found Honey and a few others in w/CL's horses! I didn't have time to mess w/them, so I fed my guys and KN's horse and let the chickens out. Mean while, CL's horses are looking at me and nickering to me cuz they wanted to be fed. But, I couldn't feed them w/out first chasing all the other horses out.
I had left later than I'd planned because I had some stomach pains this morning-nothing major, I get them from time to time-so I went back to bed for a bit hoping they'd clear up, they did, but that cut me short for time. Otherwise, I would have unloaded everything from the truck B4 I headed over to the Nature Center.
I'm driving there, and my ankle starts to hurt. That's when I realized I'd never strapped it, nor taken an Ace w/me. I was lucky, they did have one there, so I was able to strap it. And, I could have unloaded the truck. The buses were late.
I had some peanut butter crackers w/me, so when I got hungry, that's what I ate. The kids finally left, I'm ready to head back to the farm when I realized I left the door closed on the greenhouse. By now, it had really warmed up. So, I had to run home and open the door first. It was over 100* in there! I don't really want what few plants I have left to die from the heat.
I would have loved to have taken the bike, but had no choice, I had to take the truck. Get out to the farm, get Stormy fed, feed CL's horses, give KN's horse her 2nd feeding. I had called RU and let her know that Honey was in that field. By the time I got back, she was no longer in there, but was in PT's field. So, I gave her a hand mending some fences the best we could for now. RU is getting ready to go away. When she gets back, we'll be working on the fences-including electric!
RU had gotten some bunnies at auction, and thought she had them separated according to sex. Well, she was wrong. And, the one pair had a litter. She didn't realize that the babies could get out. So, we had to play bunny round up. We found 1 dead one
and 3 live ones. They, along w/the mother and most of the nest were put in a cage that they can't get out of.
Once we were done all this, I still had stuff I had to finish up at the farm. I finally got it all done. Now, I'm home, relaxing and am about ready to go to sleep! Tomorrow's going to be a busy day. Hubby and I are going to work in the yard, plus he wants to get some plants for the garden. I'm not ready for them yet. If he wants to get some for his section, that's fine. But, if I get any, they'll go in the greenhouse until I'm ready for them.
I can't leave the mower in the field-Licky would destroy it. I decided to leave it for a bit, then try to start it. I had a whole bunch of branches I needed to pick up, so I worked on that, then tried to start it. No luck. I ended up pushing it out of the field. By the time I was done w/that, I said forget it. I'm not worrying about the fence posts today.
