Yes, at one point we had 4 fires surrounding us and myself, cat and sheepies, plus 2 kids evacuated and scattered here and there. Cat in one place, sheep in another, people hanging out in Denver with DS@. DS$ was at a wrestling tournament in another state when we had to go and then he needed good internet for online classes. DH stayed behind with the chickens to guard the place with a few other neighbors. We do have Nomex and other fire gear. It was a mess. Power surges when they gave it back to us fried the microwave and the computer monitor. We somehow sprang a leak in the water line from the well to the house, probably not fire-related, but a backhoe worthy digging event. Just got the hole backfilled today. The water heater had a fit and I had to "Press the Red Button!" It did bless us with hot water again. Now we have a circuit that is giving us issues in the kitchen so the NEW microwave is in the livingroom.
Anyway, tomorrow I have someone coming to look at bags of wool. We shall see.

Hopefully next year will be better

I agree on both counts, Mr. Sour

Did your dogs run today?

I did - we had a beautiful day here today. This weekend there is a double header field trial. We will go tomorrow at least not certain about Sunday. The Princess and I will be masked, sanitizing and social distancing not certain about some of my cohorts.

[DobieLover]

I hope you can rest soon

Me too!
And I just got another cord of wood delivered that needs to be stacked.

We got where we wanted to get. It will take about 3 hours to hit the ridge tomorrow. Then I'll switch gears to washing and staining the second floor shutters and cleaning the basement room under the great room for painting.


That will really brighten up the room!

I agree! Need to figure out the trim. Will probably just sand it down and paint it white.

Holy moly, Margie. When it rains it pours, eh? Sheesh. Hopefully, that's the end of that!

Maybe I sould look at this paint the master bath or start on the kitchen repaint cabinets

That'd be nice, Penny! I abhor painting, but it's so pretty when it's done. I did a couple tall cabinets a month or two ago. Really changed the whole room.

Lots of work to do still...
