over 90' and I tried a dust mask while on the tractor, but that made it worse. The 3M 9211+ wasn't even cutting it. Oh well. It's the season.
Can't win for trying.
THe harvest dust with mold mixed in is the worst I've seen it here. Even DH is having problems and he's not allergic to anything.
@Justagalwithchicks how you doing over there??
I have one pullet, a silkie that hasn't started yet. I was told they take forever to start. She's at 6 months now. I don't expect her to lay until November or December.
Worked all day on the new compost/manure bin. I need to get a hog panel tomorrow to keep the hens out, but otherwise it's done. It was HOT, windy, dusty, buggy work.
Next up is resetting the tomato rows in the garden. Maybe Sunday.
Had plans, but sinus headache affecting my ears and cheeks won.
Got a few things done, but nothing exciting.
Saw the seed exchange is open and selling. I might have to get some apple scions.
Argh, it's mouse coming inside season. One got in the house, into the downstairs ceiling and fell between the wall studs. I can hear it jumping and scratching trying to climb and get out. I suppose in two days I'll be smelling it. Nuts.
YAY for feeling better !

cleaned out the gas fireplace this morning as I sit and wait for the internet guy.
I need to strip down the rest of the old manure bin and salvage some lumber to use on the new one, which I need to get to building.
I need to string the henhouse lights.
I need to...
Dry and 90, and I'm exhausted too @TJAnonymous
The air is THICK with harvest dust and pirate bugs. ie, there is no air in the air
Spent the afternoon playing on the new tractor. It's so much larger! I'll get used to him eventually.
Tore down the old manure bin, which had three openings, but...
My home Depot adds bits and pieces to the cull pile every day, but a large amount goes on it Monday morning after customers pick through the regular stuff pulling out the bent, twisted, or split stuff - basically doing the job of the employees for them. I hit there almost every trip I'm in...
