The power was back on B4 hubby left for work, so he was able to get a shower. Once he left, I went right out and planted peas and moved strawberries. I had already cleaned out the fridge and taken out the trash and recyclables. Doing the peas and the strawberries took me longer than I was expecting, so I didn't bother w/the kitchen nor the dishes. I figured if I got to them, I got to them. If not, I wasn't going to worry about it.
My hay shelter did a pretty good job of keeping everything dry! So, once it's done, it looks like it's going to work! And, this hay shelter for the most part has been built w/used materials. We needed some screws, nails and caulk. But even paying for that was way less than it would have cost me to buy the shelter I had planned on getting. And, now that I know how to build one, if I have to build my own when we move, I can do it!
I piled up the rest of the roof panels that we weren't using. They were spread out all over the parking area. Once we're done w/the roof, everything that's left needs to get stacked where RU wants it. The place I put them isn't where they belong, but it was a place I could drag them to easily. Then I went back to getting nails out of the wood that was dumped. I don't have that many more pieces that need to be cleaned up. I get them all done, get the stuff piled up neatly, and it will be so much cleaner and safer over there. There's one other section that really needs to be cleaned out. Other than that, the rest of what's in there is basically just weeds.
Once home, I fed the goats, then cleaned up part of the goat pen. I didn't clean any around the hay feeder. I plan on doing that tomorrow. And what I clean up there will go in a bin. Then I'll put some taters in it and see if I can get some fall taters. I also was able to get part of the kitchen cleaned B4 we left.
Dinner was nice. Both of my children were there, along w/their SO's. I like both of them, and we had a good time. Hubby says we need to do this more often. I agree. The only problem I had was I wasn't crazy about the food. We went to a fairly nice restaurant. I had a steak. It was not as good as the steak I had at the diner last week, and it cost more. Plus, I didn't get as much food. I finished off DD's fries for her and would have like to have had some dessert, but there was nothing on the menu that I really wanted.
From there, we stopped at Home Depot. There was a weeder I wanted to get that they sell in HD. Well, I didn't find that one. But there was another, similar one that was on clearance! Instead of $26, it was $7! It was the last one. We figured for $7, if it didn't work, it was no great loss. This is for getting out plants w/a tap root w/out having to dig. I tried it out on a dandelion when we got home, and it looks like it's going to work. I want it out at the farm to try and get rid of the dock.
Once we got home, I was able to get the dishes done, and finish the kitchen. So in spite of going out, I was able to get my list all done!
Almost forgot, I called the vet the other day. I just wasn't happy w/how Stormy was breathing, and he was leaving feed again. So, she had me put him back on the meds I had him on B4, but at a higher dose. He is breathing much better, and is eating better. So, I should be able to cut back on the meds and maybe even increase his feed. If he continues to improve, I might start doing some light exercises w/him to try and build up the muscles in his back. That would help him to fill out.
