Labor Day Weekend Plans

[zippitydooda]

Just curious.... for those celebrating Labor Day, what are your plans? Anyone have to work? I do, both jobs.

And then, planning to do the annual getting ready for fall/winter preparations by putting all the lawn furniture away, taking down decorations, etc.

What about YOU?

Cut and bale hay. Ride the horse. Move round bales. Hassle the cattle.

Working Saturday and preparing for vacation on Sunday. We'll be starting our vacation Monday, camping 4 -5 days in the Adirondacks mountains. Spending a day with our little rat, you know and torment her some (make a mess everywhere, ohh yea and all the dirty clothes we'll have will need washing, eat all the food). She taught us well with 4 years of college.

I work half a day tomorrow, then it's clean chicken coops and do yard work on Saturday, teach Sunday School on the Sabbath (Sunday), then I think I'll do Camelback Mountain early Monday morning and lounge, swim and watch chickens the rest of "Labor Day".

I'm really getting the itch to hatch some more chicks, but the hens aren't laying that well so...I'll be content to sell and give a way the few eggs I do get. I'm trying to lower the cholesterol so I've kinda stopped eating my own eggs!

Finishing big coop/run, moving smaller one and run for it...

planting some more garden, doctoring cows, checking fence/grass rotation...

bumblefoot surgery (6 of em

)

I'm sure theres more...my brain just isn't registering them yet

Corn harvest and bale hay.

That's too bad you have to work. When I was young I had a job where I had to work a lot of holidays.

We've had a really hard month and are looking forward to an easy weekend, for a change. This weekend I plan to drink coffee, do the regular chores, cook, bake, eat, rest, craft, spoil my husband and spoil the pets. That includes spoiling the chickens. That's pretty much how all our holidays go.

Building and placing the nest boxes, finishing the actual hen house.

Then put in the automatic watering system. Cleaning out the coop. Mowing grass, exterminating for ants and whatever else wants to wander in. Work, work and more work.

If my back holds out. But the hubby will hopefully

do the heavy stuff.

BTW...DE (food grade) is good for cholestoral lowering and a lot of other things too. I put a teaspoon in my yogurt, pudding, etc., and it doesn't even taste bad. It does take a month and you want to try at least 2 tsp a day. It is good in oatmeal too...check it out.

Hubby may or may not have to work... we'll see... usually end up having burgers or something with the In Laws so that's a maybe... may just stay home with our respective books.
