Second hay curing shed was put up today. I'll paint it tomorrow. Some time next week I'll black jack the floor and paint the barn square for it.
Walked the garden.
Dug up a diseased apple tree.
Smoke so thick here from Canada you could cut it with a knife.
Hay is in. I'm beat.
The field needed a second turning due to the high humidity. So I lost 3 hours of my day there.
I sent DH off for more diesel due to the extra 3 hours in the seat.
Both the tractor and the baler acted up in their worst way- the tractor would vapor lock if I tried to turn it...
NO, DRUNK would be calling in and saying there's a 6 foot tall chicken terrorizing your house. Calling in and saying there's an emu, means there's an EMU.
Kicky long toe nails is an alpaca thing too. Their nails are hollow underneath, and not full of anything sterile. Silly things refuse to...
Just got done hosing down the alpacas and refilling their pool. I also put ice in all their water pails.
The chickens have ice water too.
The biting cattle flies and deer flies, OMG so bad tonight.
Stopped by the garden and grabbed 10 pounds of tomatoes. THEN had some fun with the photo.
WHOLE HEAD BURROWING blood sucking spiders. Haying season is when I'm out in the fields cutting and baling hay, June to August. Ticks are THICK then.
Dog, deer, Lone Star, and Black Legged - none of them any good.
Guinea LOVE ticks.
But they wander EVERY where, sometimes refuse to roost where you want them too, sometimes never come home, love standing in the middle of busy roads, and taste great to coyotes.
That said, I just found a tick crawling across the bathroom floor..shudder. I do not like them...
