Thanks, WBF - I did have fun!
I know some 'other' folks wouldn't understand how working outside all day can be considered fun - but 'we' know, don't we SSers???
I finished off the chicken pens so now I have 4 new pens for separating breeds. Two of the new pens have new residents already. I want to hatch some Faverolles, so I've got them together. Hopefully, they'll get over the shock of the move and get back into laying mode real soon. I'd rather they brood eggs for me, so I don't have to, but however it works out I want some of those cute little chickies!
I also planted some winter-type deer peas that I hope will be either a good cover crop or chicken/goat browse. FIrst - they gotta come up! I just broadcast the seeds in the mud and kinda stomped on 'em, so if that's not sufficient then we won't have any peas at all.
I've already fed all the critters - just have milking left to do. I need to get done early - cuz I need to get 'girl-i-fied' before tomorrow.... and my hands are looking like serious farm hands right now. They need a good soaking in something to soften and bleach out all the dirt. Fingernails, at least the ones that are surviving, need some of that special girly treatment too. I spend so much time outside doing so much farm work that I deserve a little time to get girl-i-fied before I have to go back out in public tomorrow.
That reminds me of a conversation that DH and I had before we went to the Caymens. I was packing my shoes - all 8 pair of them (for a 5 day trip) and he made the mistake of commenting on that. Soooo - I told him that most of the time I work as hard as any guy - doing what a lot of folks would consider 'guy' work - so he should be happy that I was gonna be a 'girl' for 5 days! He didn't make any more comments, and I did get to be 100% girl for those 5 days, lol.
I guess before I start the girlification process I need to go finish the burn pile. We had a giant pile of branches that came pouring out of the trees with the last big wind.... they made a mess. I started a tiny little fire that I have to keep feeding for a little longer.
No wonder I'm a little tired... I'm looking forward to a glass of wine and a nice hot soak!
Who's cooking dinner?
Being a bit "off" really does help, it has helped me immensely 
The only places I truly fit in, are places that are perpetually changing and there is always something more to learn. I like change
